Maximum permitted depth of prefabricated pools in Serbia
It is often said that the maximum depth of a prefabricated pool is limited to 1.5 metres, but such a rule does not exist in the laws of the Republic of Serbia. This is a recommendation based on safety guidelines, not a legal requirement.
According to the Law on Planning and Construction and the Regulation on Specific Types of Facilities and Works Not Requiring a Building Permit, pools with an area of up to 25 m² and a depth of up to 1.2 m can be built without a building permit.
This does not mean that deeper pools are prohibited, only that for those, the necessary documentation (project and permit) must be obtained. Therefore, a pool can be both 1.5 m deep and deeper, as long as it is built in accordance with technical regulations.
These rules apply to both private and commercial facilities. The key criterion is the size of the pool, not its type. Owners of commercial pools are required to follow regulations and safety standards, including the presence of lifeguards and maintenance of hygiene standards, but no regulation explicitly limits pool depth for safety reasons.
In conclusion, the 1.5 m limit is not a legal norm, but rather a recommended practice for swimmer safety. Prefabricated pools in Serbia can be both shallower and deeper, provided that construction and safety regulations are respected.
Steps for prefabricated pools
At the customer’s request, Čabar Plast pools can be equipped with built-in steps that make it easier to enter and exit the water. The most common are Roman steps (semi-circular in shape), which provide an elegant appearance and safe access to the water for all ages.
The steps are designed in accordance with the pool’s dimensions and shape, and in larger models they can be positioned in the corner or as a semi-circular extension of the pool.
As a simpler option, classic stainless-steel ladders are also available, which attach to the edge of the pool. This type of access is practical, easy to maintain, and suitable for all types of prefabricated pools.
Colours of prefabricated pools
Choosing the colour of your pool is not only an aesthetic decision. The colour directly affects the visual impression of the water, as well as the sense of cleanliness and how well the pool blends into your yard or property.
The most popular choice is blue, which visually enhances the feeling of freshness and evokes natural turquoise waters of tropical destinations. However, Čabar Plast offers a wide range of pool colours, with the option of further personalisation according to your preferences.
