PoolPlanner

The free online 3D pool planner.

Design your pool online: pick a shape, set real dimensions, choose the finishes — then walk around it in 3D, by day or by night. Your garden, with a pool in it.

What you can do in it

Every control is a real construction decision, and every number comes from the real geometry.

A pool's outline marked out full size on the lawn in line-marking paint, with pegs and a string line.

Shape it to your garden

Ten shapes, from a 4 × 2.5 m plunge pool to a 20-metre lane. Set the exact length and width, a shallow end and a deep end with a proper slope, and see the footprint with its deck before a spade goes in.

  • 10 parametric shapes
  • Real metres and depths
  • Deck sized per side

Dress it in real materials

Porcelain tile or plaster inside, travertine or stone coping, pavers or decking around it — with tile sizes, patterns, grout lines and your own colours. Switch to night to see the lights.

  • Tile, plaster and custom colours
  • Travertine, granite, wood, pavers
  • Day and night
A lit pool at dusk with loungers, a parasol and lanterns set along its stone edge.

Furnish it, then walk around it

Drag in steps, a tanning ledge, a bench, a ladder, underwater lights, return inlets, a waterfall, deck jets and a cover — each one drawn to size on the real walls. Then orbit the pool as if you were standing in the garden.

  • 12 accessories, drag-and-drop
  • Steps and ledges fit the wall
  • Orbit, zoom, night view

Realistic renders

Pick one of six lights and an image model re-photographs your own 3D view in it — same pool, same materials, same planting, same camera. Only the light, the sky, the weather and the hour change.

From idea to blueprint in three steps

  1. 1.A measuring tape, a folding rule, wooden pegs and a coil of string beside a numbered marker board.

    Choose a shape and size

    Start from one of 10 shapes or one of our 100+ ready-made plans, and set the exact dimensions of your garden.

  2. 2.Offcuts of travertine and limestone, glass mosaic tiles and a light fitting beside a marker board.

    Style and equip it

    Finishes, coping, deck, edge system — then drop in steps, lights and water features and drag them where you want.

  3. 3.A rolled and unrolled blueprint showing a pool in plan and section, beside a numbered marker board.

    Walk around it and export

    Inspect your pool in 3D by day or night, check the water volume, and export the blueprint to discuss with your builder.

A blueprint your builder can actually read

The designer generates a construction-style drawing from your exact design: plan view with dimensions and deck, a longitudinal section with depths, numbered equipment with a legend, water volume and materials.

  • Plan view and A–A section, drawn to scale
  • Water volume, surface, perimeter and displacement computed from real geometry
  • Steps, ledges, skimmers, inlets and drains marked and numbered
  • Export as an image, share as a link

Frequently asked questions

Is PoolPlanner really free?
Yes. Designing, the 3D view, the live cost estimate and share links are free with no account. The construction blueprint, realistic renders, the cost breakdown, time of day, the premium half of the photographed materials, sun loungers and the full garden are part of Pro.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs entirely in your browser on desktop and mobile — nothing to download and no signup.
Can I use the blueprint to build my pool?
The blueprint is a to-scale concept drawing: plan, section, dimensions, volumes and equipment. It's made for discussing your project with a builder or engineer, who will produce the final structural drawings.
How accurate are the water volume and other figures?
They're computed from the same 3D geometry you see — the sampled pool outline, your exact depths and the built-in masonry — not from rough rules of thumb.
Can I share my design?
Yes — every design encodes into a link. Anyone who opens it sees your exact pool and can keep editing their own copy.
Which languages does it support?
The designer and this site are available in nine languages.
