Small and courtyard pools are designed for Fernside homes that do not have a large backyard but still want water in the space. The brief is to make every square metre count, so Small & Courtyard Pools concentrates on fitting a usable pool into a terrace, a side space or a compact inner-Lismore block while keeping the area around it open and practical. These pools are smaller than a typical family pool, but they are far from a compromise: with the right design they include water features, a seating or tanning ledge, heating and lighting that together create a resort feel in a tight footprint. They can be built in either concrete or fibreglass. A concrete courtyard pool is shaped to the exact dimensions and angles of an awkward space, which is often necessary on a confined block, while a fibreglass shell suits a regular space where access allows it to be craned in cleanly. Because the water volume is modest, a courtyard pool is economical to heat and run, which makes frequent year-round use realistic for a Richmond - Tweed home. The construction follows the same path as any pool, through approval, excavation, the shell, plumbing, fencing and surrounds, and the same AS 1926.1 barrier and NSW Swimming Pools Register obligations apply. The two questions that shape a Fernside project most are access for excavation or craneage into a hemmed-in space, and how the paving, screening and planting are arranged so the finished courtyard feels generous rather than cramped. Where a yard is small, a well-planned courtyard pool across Lismore adds real usable value and turns an underused corner into a place the household actually wants to spend time.
