Installing a swimming pool on a sloping site

Building a swimming pool on a sloping ground: layout options

There are several ways to make earth banks when building a swimming pool on sloping ground. Among these development solutions are:

  • Riprapping. This solution consists of creating a bank or a wall of largish rocks to keep the soil in place. This layout offers a natural appearance.
  • A retaining wall. Made from brick or concrete, this wall is built around the pool, on the slope, to support the ground around your pool . This solution offers a custom appearance as you can choose the wall materials and colours to fit perfectly into the space.
  • A Gabion basket A metal structure resembling a cage filled with stones, pieces of glass or wood, this is a waterproof and safe way to support the sloping ground around your swimming pool.
  • A wooden deck Often seen around an above ground pool, this solution is economical and allows you to create a contemporary pool area in your garden.
  • Railway sleeper walls. If you’re an upcycling enthusiast this solution is a highly economical way to support the sloping ground around your swimming pool.

To find out about all the possible layouts for a swimming pool on sloping or terraced ground, request a location study. This complete, custom study is carried out by an advisor for free. Our adviser will offer you the best solutions for installing a swimming pool at your home despite the sloping land.

Why are we talking about sloping ground?

Flat ground is ideal for installing a home swimming pool, but you can build a swimming pool on sloping or terraced land. What do we mean by sloping ground? If your land’s slope percentage is less than 6%, we’ll only talk about inclination. On the other hand, more than 6% is considered to be sloping land.

You may also need to support or terrace your land to install your outdoor swimming pool if it has an inclination. But this still represents less work than for sloping ground. Levelling with gravel and coarse sand may be sufficient for the installation of your swimming pool.
