3.6Creating swimming pool designs

Pool stairs

Build stairs, benches and steps in the pool, with an example that uses a bench, a normal stair and a drop-in stair.

Get ready

Take the water out of the pool first. It gives you a much clearer view.

  1. Go to Water.
  2. Press Empty.

Pick a stair type

There are normal stairs, round stairs, drop-in stairs and more. The dashboard has over eight options, and only the ones you added to your configurator show up in the application.

Example: a bench with stairs

  1. Place a bench. A bench is also a handy way to create different levels in the pool.
  2. Drag it around with the arrows. An element placed in a corner becomes a corner element.
  3. Make the bench the full width of the pool. In the example it is a little longer and less deep, 15 cm.
  4. Add a stair and attach it to the bench. In the example it is 1.5 meters wide and every step is 35 cm.
  5. Add a drop-in stair if you like. The extra of this stair is that you can make the last step higher. In the example it has the full width, a drop of 40 cm and every step is 25 cm.
  6. Keep adding benches and stairs until you are happy.

Tip: Look at your design from another view now and then. It shows quickly if the stairs look the way you want.
