Swimming Pools in Pietermaritzburg
From new pool construction to renovations and repairs — we build and restore swimming pools for homes across Pietermaritzburg and the KZN Midlands.
Swimming Pool Installation & Construction
A swimming pool is one of the best investments you can make for your property — providing endless enjoyment for your family, increasing property value, and offering a welcome escape from Pietermaritzburg’s hot summers. At Tinashe Carports & Awnings, we provide complete swimming pool solutions from construction to renovation.
In KZN you can swim from September right through to April, so you really get your money’s worth. The National Spa and Pool Institute of South Africa (NSPI) provides guidelines and standards for pool construction that we follow.
Our Pool Services
- Fibreglass Pool Installation — Pre-manufactured fibreglass shells installed in your backyard. Quick installation (typically 1–2 weeks), smooth non-porous surface, and available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Fibreglass pools are low-maintenance and resistant to algae.
- Concrete (Gunite) Pool Construction — Custom-designed concrete pools built on-site to any shape, size or depth you desire. The best option for unique designs, infinity edges, or irregular property shapes.
- Pool Renovations — Resurface, reline or upgrade your existing pool. We handle cracked plaster, worn marbelite, outdated tiling, or just want a fresh new look.
- Pool Equipment Installation — Pumps, filters, chlorinators, heat pumps and automated cleaning systems. We supply and install quality pool equipment from trusted brands.
- Pool Repairs — Leak detection, crack repairs, pump and filter servicing, and plumbing fixes for existing pools.
Fibreglass vs Concrete Pools
Choosing between fibreglass and concrete depends on your budget, property and preferences:
- Fibreglass: Faster installation, lower ongoing maintenance, smooth surface, limited to pre-made shapes. Great value for standard pool sizes.
- Concrete: Fully customisable shape and size, can accommodate any terrain, more durable long-term, higher initial cost but total design freedom.
Pool Safety & Compliance
South African law requires all swimming pools to be enclosed with a safety fence or wall. The National Building Regulations stipulate specific requirements including minimum fence heights and self-closing gates. We can advise on compliance and install safety fencing — or pair your pool with our bamboo fencing for a beautiful, compliant pool enclosure.
Pool Surrounds & Extras
While we’re at it, we can sort out the area around your pool too:
- Bamboo fencing for natural pool privacy screening
- Patio awnings for shaded poolside seating
- Pine wood furniture — outdoor tables, benches and sun lounger platforms
- Shade structures for pool-adjacent parking
