The team was professional from the first phone call to the final handover. Our backyard has never looked better.
Six gelcoat finishes, each one different at dawn, noon and dusk. Every colour is available on every shell in the range.
Real gelcoat swatches, photographed in real pools.
Soft pearl white
A clean, bright white that keeps water crystal and pale. The choice for modern builds and light stone paving.
Soft coastal grey
A soft grey that reads coastal and calm. Flatters both warm timber decks and cool concrete.
Classic mid blue
The classic Australian pool blue. Bright at noon, rich at dusk, at home in any backyard.
Pale morning blue
A pale, airy blue that keeps shallow water luminous. Beautiful with light landscaping.
Deep resort navy
A deep navy with real resort presence. Water reads dark, still and premium.
Dramatic and dark
Our darkest finish. Dramatic, mirror-like water for architectural builds.
Gelcoat is only half the story — depth, sky and surroundings do the rest.
Low sun keeps water pale and transparent. Light finishes glow; dark finishes read soft and glassy.
Overhead sun saturates colour to its brightest. This is the swatch you see in our photos.
Every finish deepens two shades. Navy and charcoal finishes turn mirror-still and resort-dark.
Real reviews from real Canberra backyards.

We chose ACT Pools for the warranty. The installation was clean, fast, and the quality is undeniable.
Sarah Mitchell
Our kids practically live in the water now. It is the best investment we have made in our home.

A sloping block and tight side access, and they never blinked. The crew left the yard cleaner than they found it.
Nicole Harding
From quote to first swim in under two months, council approvals included. Straight answers the whole way through.
James O’Brien
They handled everything: the dig, the crane, the fencing paperwork. One point of contact, no surprises.

About fibreglass, timelines and getting council approval in Canberra.
Most pools are swim ready within a few weeks of excavation. The precise timeline depends on site access and weather, but we move fast without cutting corners. However, once your build is booked, most projects are built within 2-3 days.
All pools in the ACT require approval, including fencing and safety compliance. ACT Pools lodge and manage every approval for you.
It depends on your block and budget. We build across fibreglass, concrete and pre-cast Plungie pools, and can talk you through what holds up best to Canberra’s frosts and soil.
Yes! Tight access, sloping blocks and rocky ground are standard here. We bring the right equipment and price it into your fixed quote. Since what’s underground can be hard to predict, we’re fully equipped with the right machinery to handle any challenges that come up. If rock is encountered, we’ve got equipment on hand to efficiently break down and excavate rock, ensuring your pool installation moves ahead smoothly.
Masterbuilt offers a lifetime warranty on their pool shells. This is combined with all your standard construction industry warranty periods, which are through ACT Pools as your builder. Our team will be able to advise exactly what applies to you during our initial talks and project planning period.
A perfect Canberra summer starts with one conversation. Tell us about your backyard, and we’ll give you a fixed price for your pool, with no hidden costs.
Tell us a little about your block and we will be in touch within one business day.
