16 × 32 ft L-shape

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 L-shape is really two pools sharing water: a long leg for swimming and a shorter leg for steps, play or a tanning ledge. The right angle lets the pool wrap a terrace or house corner, and the zones separate naturally — swimmers keep their lane while kids stay in the shallow leg.

Questions about this plan

How much water does a 16 × 32 ft pool hold?
About 15,017 gal (62.7 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 38 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 415 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.
