Formal Pool with 2-Sided Wetland

No. The plans can be used by a homeowner managing the project, an experienced DIY builder, a general contractor, a pool builder or a landscape contractor. 

Most buyers will use a combination of local trades rather than completing the entire project themselves.

No. The package provides the specialist natural pool design, dimensions, filtration system and hydraulic details. 

A local structural engineer or suitably qualified pool contractor should determine the final shell construction, reinforcing and foundations required for your site.

Minor adaptations may be possible, but changes to the pool or wetland dimensions can affect water volumes, filtration area, pipe sizing, flow rates and pump selection. You can change the steps or martini bar (seating) as you like but significant changes should be reviewed through a bespoke consultation or design service.

A small reduction may be possible while retaining the general system layout. Larger reductions may require the wetland area, circulation rate and pipework to be recalculated.

Changes to width or depth increase the water volume and may affect structural design, hydraulic performance and equipment selection. These changes should not be made without checking the complete system.

Yes. The drawings are designed to provide a competent contractor with the specialist information required to build the natural filtration and circulation system. 

Your contractor will still need to use an engineer and apply locally accepted construction methods and comply with local regulations.

The plan is designed to allow locally available equivalents to be used. 

Where a particular component is not available, the important consideration is matching its required function, capacity, size and specification.

Yes. You will receive a detailed material schedule with quantities, specifications, allowances and space for supplier and pricing information.

Yes. The package includes general guidance on wetland planting, density and suitable plant characteristics. 

Specific species should be selected according to your local climate and ecological conditions. Indigenous or regionally appropriate aquatic plants are generally preferred.

Yes. The plan includes general guidance relevant to freezing conditions, but local winterisation requirements will vary. 
The biological aspect of the natural pool is perfectly fine with freezing conditions but pipes, pumps and exposed equipment must be protected according to the severity of the local climate.

The design is intended to operate as a biological natural swimming pool without relying on routine conventional chlorination. 

Water quality still depends on correct construction, circulation, commissioning, maintenance, nutrient control and responsible use.

No pool is maintenance-free. 

Natural pools require routine skimmer cleaning, occasional sediment removal, plant management, inspection of pumps and valves, and periodic water-quality checks.

The included owner’s manual explains the required maintenance.

The plan and manual are intended to answer the principal design, construction and operating questions. 

If the plan is unclear we provide free support via whatsapp.

Site-specific advice, plan modifications and detailed troubleshooting are available separately through the DIY Natural Pool Academy consultation services.

The package is delivered digitally after payment. 

You will receive access to the construction plan, bill of materials and owner’s manual.

Yes. You may provide the documents to the contractors and consultants directly involved in constructing your pool. 

The files may not be resold, redistributed, published or used to produce plans for unrelated clients or projects.

Due to the downloadable nature of the product, digital plan purchases are generally non-refundable once access has been provided. 

Please review the plan description, specifications and sample pages carefully before purchasing.
