If you have a small backyard, you might think it is impractical for you to have a swimming pool, but this is not necessarily the case. At Compass Pools Australia, we make our pools in a range of different lengths and widths, so even if room in your backyard is relatively limited, you can still find a pool which will fit perfectly into the available space.
If your backyard is an awkward shape, you could consider having your pool built above ground. This is perfectly possible with Compass Pools, thanks to our exclusive Maxi Rib technology. A strong structure is created to withstand the weight of the pool, so it does not have to be built into the ground of your backyard. Our expert pool builders can find ways to fit a pool into even the most complex space.
In a particularly small backyard, you could still consider a plunge or courtyard pool. These are ideal for smaller spaces, as they take up less room than a regular pool, while still enabling you to enjoy all the benefits of relaxing in the water.
