14 × 28 ft Kidney

pool plan

Family pool

A full family pool: a shallow end where kids stand and games happen, a proper deep end for diving-free swimming, and enough length that two people can swim without negotiating. This is the most-built size class in private gardens for a reason.

The kidney is the archetypal free-form pool: one flowing bean-shaped curve with a waist that invites planting, a boulder or a slide. It blends into naturalistic landscapes better than any straight-walled shape and makes small gardens feel bigger because the eye never finds a hard boundary.

Questions about this plan

How much water does a 14 × 28 ft pool hold?
About 8,291 gal (34.6 tons of water) at 3′ 11″–5′ 11″ depth — computed from the actual pool outline, not a rule of thumb.
How long does it take to fill?
Roughly 21 hours from a standard garden tap (~6.6 GPM). A water delivery service fills it in a few hours.
Is this size right for my garden?
The water surface is 223 sq ft; plan roughly 1.5–2× that footprint including the surrounding deck. Open the plan in the designer and set your own deck margins to see the full footprint.
Can I change the depth or edge type?
Yes — open the plan in the designer and adjust depths, edge system (skimmer, deck-level overflow or raised), finishes and accessories freely.
