Melbourne Pool Projects: Fitting Pools into Unique Spaces

We’ve seen a fair few Melbourne pool projects through the years, and let’s just say, there’s a definite art to squeezing a pool into a uniquely shaped or otherwise unconventional space – all without having to sacrifice the rest of your yard.

We love when people say, “So, I’ve got a bit of an unusual space for you…” Because there’s usually something really interesting about the job that makes it stand out from the rest. And one thing’s for certain: there’s no such thing as a “regular pool” in Melbourne!

The biggest challenge for pool projects in Melbourne comes down to space. Often the backyards are quite small, and there are obstacles in the form of decks and landscaping. Sometimes, access is a real concern with very small lanes and laneways with limited accessibility. It might take some modifications to the property to get the job done, but we can do it.

We can help you get creative with your space to design a pool that works in a really unusual or unique space. You want a beautiful swimming pool but don’t want to lose your deck or all of your garden. We can have conversations about which pool construction type will work best for you and take you through the possibilities for a pool in an unconventional shape that will work for your needs.

The best bit about these jobs is that we get to really get creative with our teams. It’s about using what we have, thinking outside the box, and having a lot of fun. There aren't many situations or challenges that we haven’t come across at this point, so there’s always going to be a solution, no matter how unique you think your requirements may be.

What to Keep in Mind

A lot of people think they can’t have a pool because their backyard is too small. But in most cases, we can put one in (if you’re ok with sacrificing some of your existing space). With modern building techniques, we can make almost anything happen in the world of pools. It will always come down to how much of your existing space you’re willing to sacrifice for a pool.

When planning your pool, you’ll also need to keep in mind that pools require fences. These are non-negotiable. We work with glass fencing so that your pool blends beautifully with your yard and doesn’t feel boxed in by a traditional fence. This way, your unique space is also much more visually appealing because it blends seamlessly with your existing landscape.

Modern glass fencing is very robust and completely safe – it complies with all the requirements for swimming pool fencing and meets all the regulations for a compliant pool barrier in Victoria. We also recommend a trusted brand of glass fencing because of their lifetime warranty and consistent quality. When used correctly, glass fencing can give you an uninterrupted view of your beautiful new (and unique) pool.
