Pool shape

Grecian

Cut corners, octagonal poise — formal without curves

The Grecian pool clips the rectangle's corners at 45°, giving an octagonal outline that reads formal and deliberate without a single curve. It keeps nearly all the rectangle's swim length, and the angled corners make elegant seats for steps, benches or planters at the pool's edge.

Strengths

  • Formal geometry with straight-cut simplicity
  • Nearly a rectangle's swim length and floor area
  • Angled corners suit corner steps and benches
  • Straight segments keep tiling simple

Trade-offs

  • Eight wall angles mean more formwork joints
  • Corner cuts reduce floor space slightly
  • Covers need custom corner shaping
