NORTHERN BEACHES. MANLY VALE

Concrete pool builders in Manly Vale.

Steel-reinforced concrete pools drawn for valley family blocks in Manly Vale. Designed and built by a family practice in Belrose since 1968.

Building in Manly Vale

A pool drawn to the block.

Manly Vale is a practical family suburb of brick homes between Balgowlah and the Manly Dam reserve. The ground here is clay over sandstone in the valley, and the land sits gentle valley land near Manly Dam. That mix shapes every pool we draw.

Access here means generally good access, with creek-line drainage to plan around. We plan the approach before a price goes out. Concrete is the only material that lets us cut a pool to a site like this, which is why a lap pools usually suits a Manly Vale block.

Manly Vale is about 17 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.

Frequently asked

Manly Vale pool questions.

Can you build a pool on a difficult Manly Vale block?
Yes. Generally good access, with creek-line drainage to plan around. 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 Manly Vale mean for the pool?
Inland, so no direct 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 Manly Vale from your base?
Manly Vale is about 17 minutes from Belrose. We build across the whole Northern Beaches, so our supervisors are on sites nearby regularly.
