Ø 8 m Round
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.
A round pool is the most social shape there is: everyone faces everyone, there's no deep-end hierarchy, and it drops into a small garden or courtyard without dominating it. It's the natural choice for cooling off, kids' play and spa-like plunge pools rather than lap swimming.

- 1.2–2.0 m
- Excavation approx.
- 118 m³
- Fill time (garden tap)
- 2 days
- Skimmers needed

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 Ø 8 m pool hold?
- About 77.7 m³ (77.7 tonnes of water) at 1.2–2.0 m depth — computed from the actual pool outline, not a rule of thumb.
- How long does it take to fill?
- Roughly 2 days 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 50.1 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.
