Hillside homes
A modular pool can sit above or into a slope where local structure, retaining and drainage are designed around the actual site.
Auremont · Hillside & Difficult-Access Sites
Start with the delivery route and finished pool level — not the pool brochure.
Sloping, elevated, narrow-access and difficult sites can suit modular pools, but the project is only practical when support, retaining, delivery, crane reach, service access and surrounding works are resolved as one sequence. Auremont's standard-size approach makes those constraints easier to define early.

Project fit
Where this Auremont pathway makes sense.
The application determines what has to be coordinated early. The four standard pool sizes remain the product base; the project around them changes.
Elevated decks
Deck-integrated pool concepts need independent load paths, access panels, drainage and final levels coordinated before the deck is closed.
Narrow urban access
Where direct vehicle access is limited, the lift path and crane radius can become the controlling project issue.
Retained sites
Partially recessed or inground arrangements require groundwater, retained-soil, drainage and inspection access to be solved locally.
Remote properties
Road condition, bridge limits, delivery vehicle access, unloading and contingency planning can matter more than distance alone.
Coastal slopes
Wind, salt exposure, crane setup, corrosion protection and access for future servicing all need to be considered together.
Project priorities
Resolve the constraints before the visual details.
Map levels, slope, retaining and the intended finished waterline before choosing the installation route.Check the road-to-site transport route, not just the final driveway.Have the lifting provider review crane setup, radius, obstacles and ground conditions against the configured pool.Do not complete decks, retaining walls, fences or landscaping in a way that blocks final placement.Keep drainage and groundwater away from support areas and equipment zones.Preserve access for pumps, filters, heaters, controls and any maintainable structural / hydraulic interfaces after the site is finished.
Standard size pathway
Use the current four Auremont formats as the starting point.
Published size references help match the project. Approved CAD still controls internal swimming dimensions, water depth, equipment zone, service clearances and final configured envelope.

Compact Plus

Long format

Relevant configuration pathways
Options should solve a project need.
Architectural, water-system and cover options are confirmed against the selected pool and project rather than assumed to fit every configuration.

Project sequence
Turn the application into a controlled supply brief.
AUREMONT is supply-only. Local foundations, lifting, utility connections, barriers, installation, regulated trade work and approvals remain project-specific unless expressly included elsewhere.
Survey the site relationship
Record slope, levels, retaining, access, nearby structures, utilities and proposed pool position.
Choose the closest standard Auremont size
Use the four current standard formats; do not redesign the shell around an impossible access route.
Test the delivery + lift pathway
Truck standing, crane setup, radius, overhead obstacles and final set-down route should be checked early.
Resolve local support + drainage
Foundation, retaining, groundwater and surrounding drainage follow the actual site and final project configuration.
Freeze levels + service access
Set the pool level, equipment access, deck openings and surrounding work before permanent finishes are completed.
Place before closing the site
Sequence retaining, fences, decks and landscaping so the configured pool can physically reach its final position.
Project planning example
Planning example · sloping holiday property
A hillside project might use the Mid-size Auremont as a partially elevated / deck-integrated pool. The key early decisions are not colour or furniture: they are final pool level, support strategy, downhill retaining / drainage, truck access, crane setup and whether the equipment bay remains serviceable after the deck and landscaping are complete.

International project pathway
Pool configuration and freight planning belong in the same brief.
For overseas projects, AUREMONT project review uses the destination, access, port / depot pathway, project timing and selected pool configuration supplied by the client and their local project team. Physical site inspection is not included. Site installation and statutory work remain local project responsibilities.

Configure the standard pool, then submit the dimensions, drawings, photos, access and destination information available.
