10 x 5 m rounded rectangle pool
pool plan
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.
A rounded rectangle keeps almost all of the rectangle's swimmable water but rounds the corners into generous fillets. The result reads softer in a garden, is gentler on swimmers, and the corners no longer trap debris the way sharp ones do. It's the shape we default to in the designer.

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.
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 | €39,000–€67,000 | Over a block or concrete shell; the least expensive route to any shape. |
| Tiled concrete | €60,000–€99,000 | 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 10 × 5 m pool hold?
- About 17,461 gal (72.9 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 44 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 528 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 10 × 5 m rounded rectangle pool cost to build?
- Roughly €39,000 to €99,000 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.
