NORTHERN BEACHES. FRENCHS FOREST

Concrete pool builders in Frenchs Forest.

Steel-reinforced concrete pools drawn for gently sloping forest blocks in Frenchs Forest. Designed and built by a family practice in Belrose since 1968.

Building in Frenchs Forest

A pool drawn to the block.

Frenchs Forest is a settled family suburb of brick homes around the hospital precinct and reserves. The blocks run on sandstone and clay, gentle slopes. Each of those things changes how a pool is engineered.

Access shapes the build before anything else. In Frenchs Forest that means mostly workable access on the family blocks, with rock on the higher ground. From there we draft a concrete shell to the slope and the light, often a lap pools on a block like this.

Frenchs Forest is about 6 minutes from our Belrose yard, 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.

Frequently asked

Frenchs Forest pool questions.

Can you build a pool on a difficult Frenchs Forest block?
Yes. Mostly workable access on the family blocks, with rock on the higher ground. 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 Frenchs Forest mean for the pool?
Inland, no salt exposure. 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 Frenchs Forest from your base?
Frenchs Forest is about 6 minutes from our Belrose yard. We build across the whole Northern Beaches, so our supervisors are on sites nearby regularly.
