Elevate your view. Raise your expectations.
For decades, installing a swimming pool in a sloping backyard meant compromise. Either you carved into the earth (at great expense) to level the site, built an expensive highly engineered concrete pool, or you gave up on the dream entirely — resigning yourself to the idea that only flat, suburban lawns were pool-worthy. But not anymore.
Little Pool Co has turned that logic on its head. Our uniquely engineered pools have been purpose-built to thrive on tricky sites, sloping sections, and elevated outdoor areas where traditional pools simply can’t go. Whether your block tumbles toward a valley view or rises dramatically behind your home, our pools are designed to work with the landscape, not against it.
Engineered for Strength, Designed for Freedom
The secret lies in our patented GRP exoskeleton — a super-strong glass-reinforced frame that wraps around each pool, making it completely self-supporting. While traditional fibreglass pools rely on the surrounding soil to hold their shape once filled, a Little Pool Co pool doesn’t need the earth for structural support. It’s freestanding by design.
This structural integrity unlocks a world of new possibilities.
You can install your pool:
- Semi in-ground to match raised lawn or deck levels
- Completely above ground on a concrete pad, or suspended above ground using a steel frame
- Cantilevered off a slope or hill for spectacular views
- Raised to meet upper-level living areas, so the pool becomes a seamless extension of your indoor-outdoor flow
Pools in High Places
We’ve recently completed several standout projects where Little Pool Co pools were suspended high above natural ground, perched on engineered pedestal frames or cantilevered over steep slopes. These are pools that literally float over the landscape — defying gravity and expectation.
In many homes, especially on hillside sites or modern architectural builds with second-story living, the traditional ground-level pool can feel disconnected from where life really happens. But with our flexible installation options, you can position your pool to align with your main deck or upper terrace, keeping it connected to the kitchen, the dining area, and the social heart of the home.
Imagine sipping a morning coffee beside a sparkling pool that sits level with your second-story lounge, or hosting a dinner party where the pool is just steps away from the table. It’s resort-style living, reimagined for the unique topography of your site.
Built for Designers, Backed by Engineers
We’ve collaborated with some of the world’s leading pool engineers to ensure our products are not only structurally robust, but also simple to integrate into complex landscapes. From architectural homes to tight urban plots, our pools are designed to be adapted, not forced, into the environment.
To make things easy for designers, landscapers and contractors, we’ve developed a suite of standard installation drawings for common scenarios. These plans reduce time and cost for your project team and take the guesswork out of specifying your pool. And if your site calls for something a little more bespoke? No problem. We offer a custom installation design service — tailored to your property and ready for your builder or designer to work from.
No Compromises on Style
Of course, flexibility doesn’t mean sacrificing looks. Little Pool Co pools are available in a range of stunning interior finishes and can be clad in a wide array of materials to blend with your home’s architecture — from natural timbers and rendered block to contemporary composite decking. Add in your choice of lighting, heating, swim jets or spa features, and you’ve got a pool that’s not only functional, but beautiful.
The New Standard for Difficult Sites
So if you’ve been told your dream of having a pool is out of reach because of your site’s slope or layout — it’s time to get a second opinion. With the right engineering, a little creativity, and a pool that’s built to go where others can’t, your tricky backyard could become your favourite space.
At Little Pool Co, we’ve redefined what’s possible when it comes to pool installation. Because great pools shouldn’t be limited to flat sections and cookie-cutter sites. They should go where the views are. Where the living happens. And where your imagination takes you.
- Completely above ground on a concrete pad, timber plinth or suspended frame
- Cantilevered off a slope or hill for spectacular views
- Raised to meet upper-level living areas, so the pool becomes a seamless extension of your indoor-outdoor flow
