Small outdoor space solutions perfect for your backyard

Small outdoor spaces are trending and we are here to help you discover your poolscape possibilities

The smallest fiberglass pools can be less than 100 square feet and generally up to 600 square feet. Plunge pools and cocktail pools, also known as spools or spas, are popular options in limited spaces. Small pools are a great solution to provide a place to cool down and host a few guests without needing to take up much space.

What is the smallest size fiberglass pool?

One of the biggest benefits of fiberglass pools is the flexibility in durable sizing. They are designed to fit in smaller living spaces while still offering relaxation and refreshment. Our smallest plunge pool is 8' x 10' and almost 4' deep. It's perfect for an ultimately satisfying experience in small backyards or even as a second pool or a hot tub replacement. This small and mighty winner can easily be heated all winter, or fitted with swim jet systems for resistance workouts. A pool of this size can easily be equipped with luxurious features.

The best small fiberglass pool

Small space footprint

Yes, your backyard is big enough for a pool! Fiberglass pools are available in a variety of sizes. Here we will discuss the best options for a fantastic, smaller backyard space. Almost any fenced in backyard is ready for a fiberglass pool installation.

Plunge pools and Cocktail pools

A plunge pool is a smaller pool that’s still deep enough to “plunge” into. Cocktail pools, a smaller, more spa-like size option would sit around three or four feet deep. A plunge pool tend to have between four and five feet of depth.

Generally, cocktail pools, or spools, are used for sitting and soaking, allowing everyone to enjoy the lifestyle a refreshing dip can offer. Sometimes, pool go-ers enjoy with a drink in their hand - hence the name of the pool.

Plunge pools allow more space for more activity. Aquatic exercises are a popular way to stay active and contribute to practices in a healthy lifestyle. They are an efficient compromise between a cocktail pool and a full-size pool, but there aren't any set-in-stone rules as to specific dimensions of any of these styles of pools.
