9 x 6 m L-shaped pool
pool plan
An estate-class pool: resort presence at home, with room for swimming, play and lounging at the same time. At this size the supporting decisions matter as much as the basin — plan generous decks, a solid heat source and an automatic cover from day one, because every square metre of water is heated, treated and covered.
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.

What it costs to build
A rough installed-cost range per construction type, at this size — the pool itself, with basic coping. Not a quote.
| Construction | Installed cost | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Liner or membrane | €36,000–€62,000 | Over a block or concrete shell; the least expensive route to any shape. |
| Tiled concrete | €55,000–€92,000 | A poured shell finished in tile; built to any shape, the most durable finish. |
| One-piece fiberglass | Not made at this size | Fastest to install; limited to sizes and shapes a mould exists for. |

Questions about this plan
- How much water does the 9 × 6 m pool hold?
- About 16,682 gal (69.6 tons of water) at 3′ 11″–6′ 7″ depth — computed from the actual pool outline, not a rule of thumb.
- How long does it take to fill?
- Roughly 42 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 471 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.
- How much does the 9 × 6 m L-shaped pool cost to build?
- Roughly €36,000 to €92,000 installed at this size, depending on construction type — before deck, fence, landscaping, heating or permits. See the cost table above for the range per type.
