"A simple solution to building reinforced concrete walls"

With the Market Saturated in building methods which is the best one for your new Dream Pool? Everyone knows a reinforced concrete pool shell is the strongest construction on the market, it also allows you to build any shape and size pool in any location.

Our team have been building pools for a combined total, of 80 years and have all experienced and tested different construction methods along the way.

None of us are getting any younger and building a pool using traditional methods is hard work and all of them have different problems. We were looking for something to simplify the traditional systems we were using, our builds were taking longer to build because of weather, access issues, concrete blocks were feeling heavier and our backs were becoming as twisted as the timber that was coming to site.

10 years ago we built the first SolidPool shell in the UK and immediately saw the benefits of the system... the rest they say is history. We build pools for end users and other pool companies, the amount of pool companies that don't actually build the pool shell in house is staggering.

We now enjoy helping hundreds of self builders to build their own dream pools because of our simplified processes.

For the last 15 years SolidPool has been putting in pool shells across all 5 continents. A system so simple to use, even professionals don't want to believe it!

Why you should use SolidPool

Simple Clip together construction. Just like Lego®

SolidPool won’t burst under the immense pressure of wet concrete, unlike traditional timber and metal shutters we have seen and been asked to repair

In 2020 alone, 897 pools were installed across the world using the SolidPool system which equates to 64,440 blocks with a 100% satisfaction rate. Which means you can choose to build your pool with absolute peace of mind.

SolidPool meets EuroCode 2 standard for swimming pool construction, which means our pools are built to the latest compliant codes.

The SolidPool system is universal so any fittings can be used on the pool shell. Or use our own range of fittings.

Pools built using the SolidPool system, result in the walls being reinforced concrete pool shell. Which we believe is the strongest option available.

Easily built by one person. With some guidance and some basic DIY skills you can build a pool shell, usually only built by professionals. Which means we can train anybody including new staff and even you, to use the system in one day.

SolidPool allows us to build pools and water features even in the hardest access areas. SolidPool can be built indoors, in the ground or out of the ground, meaning we can help our clients on any pool install.

One SolidPool block weighs just over 3kg which means it only takes approximately one hour for two people to move an average size pool’s worth of blocks from the front of a house to the pool site location. Compare this to a pool using concrete blocks which can take on average two days to move into the right location to start building the pool.

We can easily build from any sort of concrete base including a hopper, transverse, sloping or flat, meaning all types of pools are achievable.

It’s light weight construction means you or your workforce are not getting injured with heavy lifting, like you would from other methods. Or if you're like us years of heavy lifting has taken its toll.

SolidPool can be built in all weather conditions, which means it doesn’t matter if it’s pouring down with rain or even snowing, there is no need to walk off the pool job site. This ensures we can build our pools on time without any disruptions or additional labour costs.

Creates a reinforced concrete shell which does not not need rendering. It’s the only concrete shell for a tile or liner finish which requires no rendering thanks to our tile block’s unique design. Simply pump in wet concrete, even hand-fill the SolidPool blocks with concrete. It leaves a perfectly flat finish, ready for the liner or tiles. This saves between £1,960 to £4,000 each pool and avoids the need to hire a specialist to render the pool.

Our pools can be built to any shape thanks to our flex-block. It can be bent into shape with your bare hands. Curves will be precise, smooth and no need to render because there will be no sharp edges. Your pool can be built in any size shape or depth which means you have many design options available. Free form pools could not be any easier.

Easy to cut with a a simple pass through with a jigsaw or skill saw, no need for a diamond tip blade. Leaves no dust. Much cleaner workmanship and sites.
