Gallery – Small Concrete Pools

Betz Pools Limited

With the custom Gunite pool limited to 12’ x 24’, Betz recommended a visual negative edge. Infinity pools are often designed so the surface appears to merge with the background in the distance. This time it was to make the pool seem larger, especially when you are in it, by creating a spacious open feeling along one side.

Outdoor TV Lift Bar Cabinet with Fridge

TV Lift Cabinet by Cabinet Tronix

Push. Pour. Party. It’s that simple to live the high life and enjoy every second at home with this incredible movable outdoor TV lift cabinet with built-in bar, refrigerator storage and charging unit. Weather resistant and designed to shine in any climate, the cabinetry will protect your big screen TV from the elements effortlessly – with no need to have any disruptive, unsightly construction carried out whatsoever. NO walls, just a stunning handcrafted unit guaranteed to be the centre of attention. We’ve carefully crafted the ultimate in home entertainment using hardwearing IPE wood – also known as Brazilian teak. This is durable, robust and can stand up to whatever Mother Nature (and your bartending) has to throw at it. That means you don’t need to give a thought to mold, insects or moisture. We guarantee your TV lift cabinet and bar will remain fully functional without warping, no matter how many times a week you fire up your TV and chill the drinks on the deck, patio, poolside or rooftop. This unit just loves to be the center of attention – and rightly so. We know you’ll be the envy of your block with the all-in-one jaw dropping solid mahogany interior with lighting, stainless steel ice bin to hold up to 40lbs of ice, included fridge, walnut / cherry cutting board, upper bottle holder and condiment station. There’s also a charging station inside the stainless storage door so you can crank up your favorite play list and charge your tablet, mobile or portable speaker at the same time. Adjustable lighting inside the storage door and 2 magnetic detachable lights that go over the bar means you don’t need to worry about the time, you can relax and enjoy the vibes from sun up to sun down. Additionally, with an built-in fridge, bottle storage and space to stash your essentials like glasses, cocktail shaker and bottle opener, you’ll never have to venture too far from the action. If you want to party like a VIP all year long, add a sound bar or optional 360-degree manual swivel for perfect viewing at any angle.

Pool Design Ideas with a Pool

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
