Small and mid-size pools: the trend of a Plons plunge pool

No suitcases, no traffic jams towards the coast, no alarm clock to leave early for the best spot on the beach. Just open the garden door and get into the water. That exact feeling, close by yet a hundred percent holiday, is why small and mid-size pools have gone through the roof in Flemish gardens in recent years.

Why smaller keeps getting more popular

Not everyone has, or wants, a villa garden with a ten-metre pool. More and more people in Belgium deliberately choose a more compact garden pool that fits their daily rhythm: a place to cool off, relax and be completely away for a moment, without the whole garden being reduced to just a pool.

What exactly is a “Plons”

We simply call these small and mid-size pools a Plons. They combine real swimming pleasure with a compact footprint, so there is still room for a terrace, greenery and that one sunny spot to do absolutely nothing. Every model is a tailor-made pool, matched to the garden it will sit in, whether that is a small pool in a city garden or a more spacious villa garden in West or East Flanders.

Who does this suit

A Plons suits anyone who would rather take a small moment of calm every day than build one big swimming party a year, anyone with a smaller or urban garden, and anyone who chooses speed of installation and ease of maintenance over maximum dimensions, without compromising on value for money.

What it adds to your garden

Large shallow lounge area and a big built-in bench

Because we build everything tailor-made, we can offer a larger shallow lounge area than standard. That wide, shallow ledge is ideal for little ones to play on safely, while the big built-in bench is the perfect spot for parents to relax in the water.

A compact pool quietly changes how you use your garden. It becomes the place where the day starts with coffee on the edge, and ends with your feet still in the water as the sun goes down. Small in footprint, big in what it gives you back every day.
