Custom Pool Construction

Pools Cape designs and builds custom pools exclusively. No maintenance contracts or cleaning.

Who we are

Two owners, on every site, since 1997.

Francois and Marius founded the business in 1997 and still run every build personally. Nearly three decades of Western Cape ground conditions, coastal wind and awkward slopes sit behind each pool we put in.

We work exclusively on specialised custom pool construction — concrete, brickwork and steel pool construction, structural glass, gunite pools, fibreglass linings, leak detection, pool tiling, water features and full renovations.

What we do

Our Specialties

01

Fibreglass Linings

Seamless, hand-laid fibreglass linings that seal a pool for decades and finish in a colour of your choice.

02

Pool Construction

Custom pools built from the ground up in concrete, brickwork and steel — from courtyard plunge pools to full indoor pools.

03

Glass Pools

Structural glass walls and windows that turn a pool into a feature you can see straight through.

04

Gunite Pools

Sprayed concrete construction for free-form shapes, rock features and demanding ground conditions.

05

Marbelite 

Classic marble-plaster finishes applied and cured by hand for a durable, even surface.

06

Renovations

Complete rebuilds of dated pools — new concrete, steel and brickwork, new shape, new coping, new plant room.

07

Leak Detection

Precision leak detection that finds the source of water loss without unnecessary digging or demolition.

08

Pool Tiling

Professional pool tiling, from full mosaics to waterline bands and step edges, laid to last.

09

Water Features

Waterfalls, fountains and spillways designed and built into your pool as permanent features.

10

Spa Bay Areas

Spa bays and relaxation areas built into or around your pool for year-round use.
