Plunge Pools Brisbane: Fibreglass Sizes & Installed Prices

Measure two areas to determine which plunge pool fits:

1. Pool area. Measure the available length and width in the yard.
2. Access route. Measure the narrowest point between the kerb and the pool hole. This width determines which excavation equipment can reach the site.

We select excavation equipment based on the measured access width before providing a quote.

The access width determines the equipment used:

• 1.38 m or under. The excavation and spoil removal use a mini excavator and the smallest available equipment.
• 1.38 m to 1.57 m. A mini excavator and a standard bobcat can access the yard. The bobcat can move spoil while the excavator digs.
• 1.57 m and over. Full-size equipment can access the pool hole.

Truck-to-hole excavation is available when the access width is at least 3 m and the truck can park within 5 m of the hole. Spoil can then move directly from the hole into the truck.

We also measure the distance from the pool hole to the truck. The distance brackets are 0–5 m, 0–20 m, 20–40 m, and 40–60 m. This distance affects the excavation method included in the quote.

Sovereign	5.00 m x 2.70 m	1.00 m – 1.63 m	12,550 L	481 kg
Paradiso	5.5 m x 2.15 m	1.05 m – 1.6 m	11,400 L	505 kg
Portofino	5.50 m x 2.50 m	1.10 m – 1.60 m	13,200 L	498 kg

Pool shells with the same length can have different width requirements. The Latina and Verona are both 4.50 m long. The Latina is 3.50 m wide and holds 18,500 L. The Verona is 2.50 m wide and holds 10,300 L.

For narrow yards, compare the Paradiso at 2.15 m wide, the Verona at 2.50 m wide, and the Allure at 2.50 m wide with the Latina at 3.50 m wide.

Yes. A fibreglass shell can be installed in three ways on a Brisbane block:

• Fully in-ground
• Partly above ground
• Fully above ground

A pool installed partly into a slope is called a raised or semi-inground pool. On a sloping block, excavation is completed on the high side of the shell. On the low side, part of the shell wall remains above the finished ground level.

A fully above-ground shell is installed on prepared ground without an excavated hole beneath it. The exposed shell is normally clad or screened with a design feature. Stairs are usually required for access.

Pool fencing is required for all installation types. For raised or sloping installations, the barrier and retaining must be designed around the exposed shell wall.

We determine which shell suits a raised or semi-inground installation during the site assessment. This assessment includes measuring the fall across the yard and defining the retaining requirements.

MFP Easy installs fibreglass pools in nine South East Queensland local government areas: Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Logan, Ipswich, Redland, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Toowoomba. This service area includes north Brisbane and south Brisbane.

We assess the crane lift from the nearest location where the crane can legally operate on the street. We measure the distance from this location to the pool excavation and use it to select the crane. Our quotes include a standard shell lift using a 20 tonne Franna crane. If the lift requires a slew crane, we use the following ranges:

Lift distance	Crane
0–15 m	Small slew, 13 t to 16 t
15–20 m	Medium slew, 40 t
20–30 m	Standard slew, 55 t or 60 t without counterweight
30–36 m	Standard slew with counterweight, 60 t
36–48 m	Large slew, 80 t to 120 t

We arrange traffic control when the crane or delivery truck must occupy a Brisbane street. There are four traffic control levels:

• Level 1: Stop/go control on one lane.
• Level 2: Standard road closure.
• Level 3: Large road closure.
• Level 4: All-day road closure.

Inner-city installations require traffic control more often than suburban installations. Narrow streets can therefore affect quotes for inner-Brisbane installations.

Our published installation timeframe is 28 days. A plunge pool requires less time for excavation and soil removal, but the remaining fibreglass pool installation steps are the same as for a full-size pool shell.

The following factors can affect the timeframe:

• Approval timing depends on the certifier, not the pool size.
• Fencing certification occurs after the barrier is complete.
• Wet weather can delay excavation regardless of the pool size.
