All forms of semi-inground pools

Features of the semi-buried swimming pool

The choice of building an in-ground or semi-inground pool may depend on technical constraints, the expected aesthetics of the pool or the budget allocated to the project.

A semi-inground pool is in most cases less expensive than an in-ground pool, but it all depends on the type of pool chosen. Wood, steel, or composite structures remain very affordable, but their lifespan will be much shorter than heavy structures made of concrete.

Desjoyaux-style modular formwork pools remain products that stand the test of time. These formworks are reinforced and filled with concrete.

The semi-buried swimming pool can be made in 2 different ways:
– The entire surface of the pool is semi-buried.
– Part of the pool is buried and the other part is above ground (a popular solution for owners with sloping land). This configuration also allows for a deck on the buried part for maximum enjoyment.
A semi-buried swimming pool is the choice that combines practicality and harmony .

However, whatever its configuration, a semi-buried swimming pool requires the installation of a safety device: alarm, barrier, cover or shelter.

Choosing the right shape: elements to take into account

Just like the in-ground pool, the semi-inground pool can take different shapes: rectangular, swimming lane, square, free-form, etc.

Choosing a semi-inground pool means thinking about the shape of the pool you want for your outdoor space and the atmosphere you want it to create. But that's not all...

Indeed, it is also appropriate, upstream of the project, to know the criteria to take into account in this reflection:

– The layout of the land, firstly, to know if it is even possible to build a swimming pool there;
– The space available on this land, depending on the space a small in-ground pool may be more suitable;
– Frequency of use, to have a pool that meets your needs, whether regular or occasional swimming;
– Use, whether for resting, swimming lengths, diving, etc.;
– Other potential developments around the semi-buried pool to create a completely harmonious exterior.

The fact remains that the semi-buried swimming pool remains a simply magnificent and refined component of your exterior, particularly thanks to its different possible shapes.
