Hello everyone,

We are planning to build a nice pool in our garden.
Approximate size: 9 × 5 × 1.5 m (30 × 16 × 5 ft).
(By the way, please ignore the current construction status; this is an existing property where we are currently building a new structure…)

We want a good price/performance ratio and plan to do the work ourselves.
We have a master roofer who can install the liner and a master mason for the foundation slab and walls.

We are considering a polystyrene construction system. Are there significant differences between the manufacturers?
In theory, a full concrete pool could also be possible since it’s directly accessible from the street… Which option would be more practical?

The installation situation is that we are building on a slope and will pour a retaining wall.
The initial idea is to build the pool behind this wall. I have roughly marked the position in red.
The pool should ideally be integrated with the terrace, which you can see under the liner in the pictures.

It would be really great if we could realize some kind of infinity pool solution.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks and best regards,
Sven

I have been living there since 1997 but am not working. I have had contacts in Perth since 1980 and purchased an investment property here in 1995.
