01

The above-ground hack

Florida code requires permits for in-ground pools. Ours sit fully above grade on a level pad — the 24" wall keeps every build legally classified as an above-ground recreational vessel. No hole, no permit.

02

Two-day build

No excavation, no concrete cure. A four-person crew can level the pad, stack the block, line, cap and fill a pool in 48 hours flat. No two-month construction zone in your backyard.

03

Engineered to outlive concrete

Core-filled 16×8×8 block walls, 60-mil pond liner, and continuous paver coping — overbuilt for decades of UV, salt and weight cycling.

04

Honest pricing

Price is a function of footprint and perimeter, not a sales mood. Configure a custom shape and watch the BOM and total update live.
