NORTHERN BEACHES. CLONTARF

Concrete pool builders in Clontarf.

Steel-reinforced concrete pools drawn for harbour-beach blocks in Clontarf. Designed and built by a family practice in Belrose since 1968.

Building in Clontarf

A pool drawn to the block.

Clontarf is a small harbour-beach enclave of prestige homes around the reserve and the sailing club. The blocks run on sand near the beach, sandstone on the rise, steep above the beach, flatter at the foreshore. Each of those things changes how a pool is engineered.

Access shapes the build before anything else. In Clontarf that means tight beachside streets and steep upper blocks. From there we draft a concrete shell to the slope and the light, often a infinity edges on a block like this.

Clontarf is about 16 minutes from Belrose, so our supervisors are on sites nearby through the week. One Wright supervisor stays on your project from excavation to handover, with no subcontractor chain.

Local conditions

What building in Clontarf involves.

01
Ground
Sand near the beach, sandstone on the rise, and the dig is priced from it.
02
Slope
The land here is steep above the beach, flatter at the foreshore, so the design works with the fall.
03
Access
Tight beachside streets and steep upper blocks.
04
Coastal exposure
Sheltered Middle Harbour beach, and the fittings are graded for it.
05
Council
Foreshore blocks fall under the SREP foreshore controls.
06
Distance
About 16 minutes from Belrose.

Frequently asked

Clontarf pool questions.

Can you build a pool on a difficult Clontarf block?
Yes. Tight beachside streets and steep upper blocks. A concrete pool is drawn to the space, so a compact shell is built to the same standard as a long lap pool. We assess the block at the site visit before pricing.
What does a bush or inland block in Clontarf mean for the pool?
Sheltered Middle Harbour beach. We still engineer the shell for the ground and the slope, and any bush-fire or drainage controls are built into the design and the approval.
How far is Clontarf from your base?
Clontarf is about 16 minutes from Belrose. We build across the whole Northern Beaches, so our supervisors are on sites nearby regularly.
