*Planning estimates from our 3D designer for the pool itself (design, permits, excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, plaster, coping and a narrow deck), including a safety margin. Spas, water features and bigger decks are extra. Example monthly payment is an illustration only (8.99% APR, 15 years), not a loan offer.

Is the L-Shape right for you?
The L is the problem solver for a household where some people want to train and others want to float. One leg can stay shallow for kids, volleyball and lounging while the other runs long enough for laps, and the two groups rarely collide.
It fits corner lots, wraparound yards and homes where the patio turns a corner. Two-story homes with a covered patio along one side often use the bend to frame an outdoor seating zone.
How much yard it needs
The default is 36 ft along one leg and 20 ft across the other. Allow roughly 4 ft of walkway along both sides of the 20 ft dimension and the 5 ft fence setback and the depth figure is 33 ft, while the long leg needs about 46 ft of width including side setbacks. The inside corner of the L can be patio, so the full rectangle is not all water. A builder checks how this fits your lines and slope.
Spa, shelf and seating options
The default has a sun shelf in the lounge leg, about 9 to 12 inches deep, so kids and chairs stay out of the swim lane. A spa fits well at the outside corner where it can see both legs. Steps at the end of the short leg and a swim-out bench along the long leg cover entry and resting spots.
Looking after it
The inside corner is a dead spot for circulation, so the builder should place returns to keep water moving there. Robotic cleaners handle the turn better than older suction cleaners. With white plaster, scale and stains show early but are easy to spot and treat during regular service.
What the build involves
The bend is the structurally busy part of an L-shape, since two runs of wall meet at the inside corner, so steel is doubled up there. Depth transitions between the legs are planned on the drawings so the floor slope does not surprise anyone. If you want an automatic cover, mention it early, because covers do not follow an L and usually need a different solution, such as a mesh cover.
