A round pool remains one of the most popular choices for those looking to enjoy a bit of a dip in their own garden. Thanks to their ingenious shape, the water pressure is distributed evenly, making above-ground round pools particularly sturdy and stable. What’s more, they take up relatively little space and fit perfectly into both small and large gardens. Whether you want to relax on an air mattress, play with the children or cool off on hot summer days: a round pool offers hours of water fun for the whole family. At Hermie, you’ll find round pools in various sizes and designs, so there’s always a model that fits your garden and your needs perfectly.
What should you look out for when buying a round swimming pool?
Choosing a round swimming pool may seem straightforward, but there are a few important points to bear in mind to help you make the right choice.
- The space available in the garden: check not only the diameter of the pool, but also ensure there is sufficient clear space around the frame. This will ensure safe access to the pool for maintenance and use.
- Diameter and swimming space: a round pool measuring 244 cm or 305 cm is ideal for young families and small gardens. Larger models, measuring 366 cm, 427 cm or more, offer enough space to accommodate several people at once.
- Pool depth: for young children, a shallower model is often more practical. If you’re looking for greater comfort in the water or a larger volume of water, opt for a pool with a depth of 122 cm or more.
- Filtration system: the larger the pool, the more important it is to have a powerful filter pump. Check whether a pump is included as standard and whether its capacity is sufficient for the pool’s volume.
The advantages of a round shape
Why do so many families choose a round swimming pool?
- Maximum strength: The round shape distributes the water pressure evenly across the entire frame. This makes round swimming pools some of the most stable above-ground pools on the market.
- Easy to set up: Thanks to their symmetrical design, round frame pools are often quicker to assemble than oval or rectangular models.
- A cosy get-together: Everyone naturally sits or plays facing each other. This makes a round pool perfect for families, children playing and cosy summer days with friends.
- Efficient use of space: With no protruding side supports or sharp corners, you can make the most of the available space. This is a particular advantage in medium-sized gardens.
- Wide range of accessories: For round pools, pool covers, solar covers, maintenance products and heating solutions are readily available in almost any size.
Frequently asked questions about round swimming pools
- How much space do I need for a round swimming pool?
In addition to the specified diameter, always allow for extra space around the pool for the frame, maintenance and safe access. Ideally, allow for at least 50 to 100 cm of free space all round. - Are round swimming pools more sturdy than other shapes?
Yes. Because the water pressure is distributed evenly, a round swimming pool is naturally very stable. That is why round models often require fewer reinforcements than oval swimming pools. - What size round pool is right for my family?
For two to four people, a diameter of around 305 cm is often sufficient. Families with several children usually opt for a model measuring 366 cm or larger to allow for extra space to play. - Can I install a round swimming pool on grass?
Yes, you can, but a flat and firm surface is still essential. Remove any unevenness and ideally use a groundsheet or protective mat to protect the bottom of the pool. - How do I keep my round swimming pool clean?
With a good filter pump, regular maintenance and a suitable cover, the water will stay clear. For larger pools, a pool vacuum and an automatic pool cleaner are useful additions.
