On top of the world
Elevating this new swimming pool has maximised a great view, created a level
entry, and avoided the need for a pool fence, says Mayfair Pools
A flat site is no longer a prerequisite
for a swimming pool. Today, it’s all about
lifestyle, and pools are placed to enhance
an outdoor entertaining area, which may
involve a sloping site.
This was precisely the case for this
new pool built by Mayfair Pools agent
Richard Rowley.
“The location for this project was
not particularly easy, as the pool needed
to be built on a hillside, on soil that had
not been compacted when the house was
built,” Rowley says. “Major engineering

was required to ensure that the pool
would be stable.”
Rowley says it was decided to build
the fibreglass pool above the ground to
meet the level of the existing deck. This
also meant that on the downhill side, the
pool would be high enough to form its
own pool fencing. And the view across the
valley could be maintained.
The pool colour is Atlantic Blue Glitter.
This is contrasted by flamed black granite coping stones, which complement the
natural landscape.

The pool is heated by a heat pump,
and features a Zodiac salt chlorinator.
