Natural Pool - New Build

With a budget of R220k - R250k

Our entry-level natural pool products in this price range are our splash pools. By placing the wetland around a central swimming area we cut out the cost of building cement and brick walls all the way around the wetland and the swim zone. We just use rubber liner. This creates a beautiful small mountain pool perfect for a plunge and submersion.

Natural Splash Pool Option 1

The Well

Our entry-level natural pool product. This pool has a 2m deep and 2m wide circular swim zone with a wetland wrapping around it. The total footprint is 4m x 4m.

Using single brick circular wall and an EPDM rubber liner, we can create a pool that doesn’t require any major construction.

Timber Swimzone

An alternative approach we often recommend is constructing the swim zone’s retaining wall using timber. This method blends beautifully with the natural surroundings and brings a warm, organic character to the pool. The use of timber introduces a sense of softness and tactility that concrete or stone can't quite match—it feels more like a natural lake or forest pond than a manmade structure.

Visually, timber creates a striking contrast against the water, plants, and surrounding landscaping. Over time, it weathers gracefully, developing silvery tones that enhance the pool’s natural, rustic aesthetic. It also pairs well with decking, garden paths, or other wooden features in the landscape, creating a cohesive, inviting outdoor environment.

From a design perspective, timber allows for gentle curves or clean lines, depending on your preferences, and gives the entire pool a crafted, artisanal feel. It's a choice that feels intentional—rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and a deep respect for nature.
