6 × 3 m Roman
pool plan
A compact family size: big enough for proper swimming strokes and games, small enough that heating, covering and chemistry stay cheap. In most gardens this class hits the sweet spot between water you use daily and garden you keep.
The Roman pool pairs a rectangular body with semicircular ends, a silhouette borrowed from classical baths. You keep an honest swim lane down the middle while the ends soften the geometry and make natural places for steps — a Roman staircase flowing out of the curved end is the signature move.

Figures are computed from the sampled pool outline and the plan's depths — the same geometry the 3D designer uses. Excavation includes shell and working allowance; your site conditions may differ.
Questions about this plan
- How much water does a 6 × 3 m pool hold?
- About 22.4 m³ (22.4 tonnes of water) at 1.2–1.6 m depth — computed from the actual pool outline, not a rule of thumb.
- How long does it take to fill?
- Roughly 15 hours from a standard garden tap (~1.5 m³/h). A water delivery service fills it in a few hours.
- Is this size right for my garden?
- The water surface is 16.1 m²; 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.
