Smart design and new technologies allow us to enjoy water even in the smallest spaces. Mini above ground pools are a modern, sustainable and functional option that turns any small space into a true oasis of relaxation and enjoyment.

What is more, these above ground pools are ideal for adding a modern, unique and functional touch to terrace designs, as well as offering the possibility of including pools in small patios. This type of prefabricated above-ground pool also combines aesthetics, comfort and quick installation without the need for construction work, making them functional and practical.

Mini above ground pools: smart design without construction work

Prefabricated above ground pools, such as the Poolins Up line, offer a perfect alternative for those looking for a modern pool without construction work or complications in a limited space. Their main advantage is that they do not require excavation, which reduces time, costs and impact on the environment. In just a few days, you can have a fully functional, designer pool ready to enjoy.

But their appeal goes beyond speed. These above-ground pools stand out for their versatility: they can be installed on floors, terraces, patios or attics, adapting to spaces where traditional pools would be impossible. In addition, their modular, self-supporting structure allows for customisation of sizes, shapes and finishes, achieving a completely personalized made result thanks to the Poolins Custom collection.

Mini above ground pools: ideal for small terraces and patios

The rise in popularity of mini above ground pools responds to an increasingly common need: to make the most of every square metre available without sacrificing comfort or design.

A prefabricated mini pool can measure between 2 and 4 metres in length, but includes everything you need to enjoy swimming or even a hydromassage. Its compact size allows it to be integrated into small terraces or patios, turning limited spaces into authentic personal retreats.

Why choose prefabricated above-ground pools?

Prefabricated above ground pools or surface pools offer multiple benefits for small spaces, including:

  • No construction or excavation: Since no construction is required, installation is quick, clean and requires minimal intervention on the ground.
  • Flexibility and adaptability: They can be located in gardens, patios, terraces or even attics, provided that the structural support allows it.
  • Portability: Some versions can be dismantled and moved if you change your home or redistribute your outdoor space.
  • High end design: Modern above ground pools use architectural lines, elegant finishes, integrated modules and overflow effects to turn them into true design pieces. Additionally, with our Poolins Custom collection, you have the option to customise the finishes, size, etc.
  • Lower cost and lower impact: By eliminating construction work, costs, time and environmental impact on the land are reduced.
  • Efficiency and sustainability: Thanks to the use of recyclable materials such as ecopolymers and responsible manufacturing processes, Poolins reduces its carbon footprint.
  • Total accessibility: Filtration and maintenance equipment is visible and easily accessible.

Our Poolins Up pools are a good example of this philosophy: above-ground, modular, no excavation required, and with premium, customisable finishes.

Designing terraces and patios with above ground mini pools: keys to creating a unique space

Installing a mini pool on your terrace is more than just a functional issue, is a design exercise. At Poolins, we know how important it is to do this process correctly. That is why we have put together some recommendations to help you achieve a balanced and aesthetic result.

  1. Plan the space: Leave areas free for sun loungers, plants or outdoor furniture. The pool should blend in, not dominate the space. You should also take into account the weight that the structure can support so that there is no deformation when you place the above ground mini pool there.
  2. Choose sustainable materials: Many modern pools, such as those from Poolins, use recyclable ecopolymers and lightweight structures with low environmental impact, contributing to the well being of the planet and its inhabitants.
  3. Play with levels and lighting: The above ground mini pool can become an architectural feature that adds visual rhythm to the environment, bringing warm light to the space. You should also consider the need to include folding steps, walkways or ramps to facilitate access, if necessary.
  4. Focus on comfort: Add hydromassage jets, built in benches or automatic covers to enhance the user experience and make the mini above ground pool even more practical.
  5. Take care of the visual environment: Combine the pool with natural wood, porcelain or microcement cladding to create aesthetic continuity.
  6. Accessible maintenance: Filtration systems should be efficient and accessible for maintenance. In above ground pools, as the prefabricated pool is elevated, access to facilities can be easier.

Poolins Up and innovative proposals

The Poolins Up line is designed precisely for these scenarios of terraces or patios with construction limitations. Its self supporting structure, low weight and modular design allow for quick and aesthetic installation. Within this philosophy, there are some outstanding designs:

  • Recta Jets: A mini pool with integrated hydromassage jets and an interior perimeter bench, ideal for combining enjoyment and well-being in small spaces.
  • Sula (by Balzar Arquitectos): An aesthetic approach where the pool is an architectural piece that interacts with its surroundings, with careful geometries.

In summary, above ground mini pools are a modern and smart alternative for those who want to enjoy the water without undertaking costly construction work or sacrificing space. With good design, proper installation, and careful finishing, this limited space can become a place to unwind.
