How much does a wooden pool cost – models and extras

How much does a wooden pool cost and what does the price really depend on? Below you will find an overview of the Standard, Thermo and Premium SPA series, together with a breakdown of equipment and the most popular extras. This will make it easier to plan your budget for a wooden garden pool and other elements of your swimming area.

How much does a wooden pool cost?

The wooden pool price in the Wooden Pools range depends on the series, size and equipment level; the lowest-priced model is the Standard 480×240, while the highest‑priced is the large Premium SPA 685×300. The range includes Standard, Thermo and Premium SPA pools, differing in size, insulation and equipment.

If you are interested in the full cost of a garden pool, it is best to start by choosing a specific model and series. Standard and Thermo pools are classic garden pools with a 6 mm polypropylene shell, while Premium SPA are advanced constructions with counter current or hydromassage, a 9 kW heat pump, LED lighting and a chlorinator as standard. A detailed overview of the models can also be found in the Wooden Pools wooden garden pools section.

All wooden pool models – comparison

Wooden garden pools require a one‑off investment, but they are durable, safe and visually appealing. Unlike inflatable solutions they do not deform, do not start leaking after a season and do not spoil the view of the garden, while the timber does not warp, does not crack and remains stable for many seasons.

What is included in the base price?

The base price of Standard and Thermo garden pools includes a complete pool with a 6 mm PP shell, stairs, ladder, sand filter with pump and an 80 cm equipment box, while in the Premium series you additionally get a counter current or hydromassage system, Skimmer filter, 9 kW heat pump, LED lighting and a chlorinator. This means that even with the basic package you receive a full set for comfortable bathing.

In Standard and Thermo series pools, the basic equipment includes:

• 6 mm polypropylene shell – a smooth, watertight pool interior that makes cleaning easier.
• Wooden stairs – convenient access to the pool from the outside.
• Stainless steel ladder – makes it easier to get out of the water and increases user comfort.
• Sand filter with pump – the foundation of the water filtration system.
• Integrated 80 cm equipment box – a space for installing and protecting the filtration components.

In the Premium SPA series the base price also includes extended equipment, including:

• Counter current (in the counter current model) or water‑air jets (in hydromassage models).
• Skimmer filter and a wall with overflow nozzle (in the counter current model).
• LED lighting – atmospheric underwater light.
• 9 kW inverter heat pump – water heating system as standard.
• Chlorine generator – part of the water treatment system.

The equipment also includes a sand filter with media and a complete circulation system, so a Premium SPA pool forms a ready‑to‑use swimming area with training or relaxation functions.

How much do the extras cost?

The garden pool price can increase when you add options such as heating, counter current, hydromassage jets, LED lighting, chlorinator, sliding enclosure or a different colour of cladding and frame. The specific price of each option in your local currency is shown in the configurator on the product page.

To the base price of Standard and Thermo pools you can add selected equipment items such as heating with a heat pump or an integrated wood stove, cover, lighting, water treatment systems or counter current. Below you will find the key configurator options for pools and information on which series they relate to.

Table – popular extras for pools

In Premium SPA models, the 9 kW inverter heat pump is part of the standard equipment, so the additional cost of heating mainly concerns the Standard and Thermo series. You can further equip your wooden garden pool with a swim counter current unit, which turns it into a training station, or LED lighting that increases comfort when bathing after dark.

Separate option groups are available for tubs and hot tubs (for example wood stove, heat pump, audio system, cover lifter), but this list does not affect the price of a wooden pool. If you are considering combining a pool with an all‑year‑round tub, you will find detailed information on the product pages of the SPA tubs and garden hot tubs series.

Standard, Thermo or Premium SPA – what explains the price difference?

The price difference between Standard, Thermo and Premium SPA is mainly due to the type of cladding, the presence of Thermo Wood insulation and the scope of equipment, including heating and SPA systems. Standard is a classic wooden pool at a lower price level, Thermo is the same format with Thermo Wood and a structure designed to reduce heat loss, and Premium SPA is an extended wellness zone with counter current or hydromassage.

Standard pools are suitable when the priority is a classic wooden pool at the most favourable price level. The structure is made of spruce wood and the cladding from spruce panelling. This solution is intended for those who want a functional, durable garden pool and prefer to decide for themselves which additional features – such as heating, lighting or a cover – they really need.

The Thermo series mainly differs in the cladding and finish made of Thermo Wood and a structure designed to reduce water temperature losses. The Thermo series has been designed with thermal insulation to reduce heat loss, which is why it works particularly well when the water is to be regularly heated in spring or autumn. The Thermo version is better suited to gardens where aesthetics, cladding durability and minimising the typically seasonal look of the pool are especially important.

Premium SPA pools feature counter current or hydromassage, a slatted Thermo Wood cladding, counter current or water‑air jets, Skimmer filter, LED lighting, 9 kW inverter heat pump, filtration and chlorinator. Pools in this series stand out with a modern structure and thermal insulation that ensures better water temperature retention and higher energy efficiency.

If you wish to compare specific models within one series, the product pages will be helpful, for example the wooden pool 480×240 Standard or Thermo and Premium SPA variants in a similar format.

What costs should you add beyond the pool itself?

In addition to the pool price itself, you need to consider the cost of preparing the base, any structure around the shell and delivery, which is agreed individually. You can also add the cost of pool chemicals and ongoing operation of the swimming area.

Assembly and preparation of the site for a wooden pool require an even, stable and compacted base that can safely bear the weight of the structure and several or several dozen thousand litres of water. It is advisable to prepare the ground in advance, preferably a concrete slab, and choose appropriate equipment elements for the set, as provided for in the selected configuration.

If a sliding enclosure, terrace or decking around the pool is planned, it is best to take them into account already when marking out the surface for the entire swimming area. A good cover limits the amount of leaves, insects and other debris falling into the pool, while reducing evaporation and heat loss, which is important when the water is heated.

You can configure your wooden garden pool as a seasonal version or with heating for extended use. In Standard and Thermo pools you can use an electric heat pump or an integrated wood stove, while in Premium SPA models the 9 kW inverter heat pump is part of the standard equipment. Rules for residential pools depend on the country and local municipality – check them with your local building authority.

Summary

The wooden garden pool price mainly depends on the series (Standard, Thermo, Premium SPA), shell size, type of cladding and level of equipment – from a basic sand filter to an advanced SPA system with a 9 kW heat pump and chlorinator. On top of this come extras for heating, lighting, counter current, enclosure and preparation of the installation site.
