Can Plunge Pools be above ground?
At Aquaman Installations, we’re often asked whether concrete plunge pools can be installed above ground—and the answer is a resounding yes.
Thanks to their fully engineered design and structural integrity, precast concrete plunge pools—like those from Plungie—can be installed both above ground and in-ground, depending on your site conditions and design goals. Each unit is supplied with all necessary compliance certificates, ensuring a smooth approval process across residential and commercial projects.
Why Choose an Above-Ground Plunge Pool?
Above-ground installations are ideal in a range of scenarios:
Sloping or uneven blocks, where excavation would be costly or impractical
Properties with existing patios or decks, where the pool must meet a specific finished level
Rooftops and terraces, where weight and structural load are critical considerations
Commercial applications like hotels, villas, and resorts, where a quick and elevated solution is required
With a self-supporting structure, these pools require no additional retaining walls or formwork, making them a cost-effective and design-flexible option. They can also double as retaining elements or even barriers, provided they meet local fencing regulations.
