About Rectangle Inground Pool Kits

What Comes With a Rectangle Pool Kit

Every rectangle pool kit ships as a complete package built around the size you select. The structural side includes wall panels and bolts, A-frame braces, rebar stakes, aluminum coping, a vinyl liner, a walk out step with handrail, and a ladder with deck anchors that let it be removed. The equipment side includes a 1.5 HP pump, a 24 inch filter, two main drains, three returns, four decorative escutcheons, a skimmer, and a rope kit. Almost any standard item can be upgraded during configuration, and additions such as heaters, lighting, automatic cleaners, and covers can be built into the package before checkout. Tools, sand, concrete, PVC piping, electrical materials, and water are sourced locally and are not part of the kit.

Choosing a Size and Depth for Your Yard

Sizes in the 16' x 32' to 18' x 36' range are the most common choice for residential backyards, offering enough length for laps without consuming the entire yard. Compact layouts from 12' x 20' to 15' x 30' suit smaller lots, while layouts of 20' x 40' and larger work best on bigger properties and for entertaining. Depth is tied to the size you select, with smaller layouts topping out around 5'8", mid range sizes reaching 8' to 8'6", and the largest layouts reaching a full 10'. Each size card lists its maximum depth, so check it before selecting if a diving board or slide is part of your plan.

Corners, Steps, and Automatic Cover Options

While many rectangle pools feature true ninety degree corners, some homeowners choose to soften the look by adding rounded corner radiuses such as two foot, four foot, or six inch curves. Entry steps, benches, and shallow lounging areas can also be built into the layout without significantly reducing the main swimming area, and longer footprints make it easier to include a distinct deep end.

Rectangle designs are also among the easiest shapes to pair with an automatic pool cover. The straight sides and consistent width allow the cover to track cleanly along the full length of the pool, producing a simpler and more precise fit than curved or irregular layouts. If an automatic cover is part of your plan, now or later, choosing a rectangle keeps that option straightforward.

If you are weighing other options, compare the rectangular lap pool kits built for longer swim lanes, the pre-configured Oxford Rectangle package, or browse all inground pool shapes.

Rectangle Inground Pool Kits FAQs

What is included in a rectangle inground pool kit?

+

Every standard kit includes wall panels and bolts, A-frame braces, rebar stakes, aluminum coping, a vinyl liner, a walk out step with handrail, and a ladder on deck anchors. Equipment includes a 1.5 HP pump, a 24 inch filter, two main drains, three returns, four escutcheons, a skimmer, and a rope kit. Most standard items can be upgraded during configuration, and heaters, lighting, salt systems, and covers can be added before checkout. Tools, sand, concrete, PVC piping, electrical materials, and water are not included.

How much does a rectangle inground pool kit cost?

+

Price is driven mainly by the size and depth you select, then by the liner pattern, any pump or filter upgrades, and add ons such as a heater, salt system, or automatic cover. Current pricing for each layout is listed on that size's page, so you can compare footprints before configuring. Excavation, plumbing, electrical work, decking, fencing, permits, and water are separate project costs handled during the build.

How deep can a rectangle inground pool be?

+

Maximum depth is tied to the footprint. Layouts up to about 15' x 30' reach roughly 5'8", mid range sizes reach 8', and the largest layouts reach a full 10'. The figure on each size card is the maximum depth rather than the depth throughout, since profiles vary by configuration. If a diving board or slide is planned, choose a deeper layout and confirm its depth requirement before ordering.

Are rectangle pools good for lap swimming?

+

Yes, and it is one of the main reasons homeowners choose this shape. Straight walls and a consistent width let a swimmer move end to end without navigating curves, which makes turns predictable. For lap use, length matters more than width: a 16' x 40' offers more swim distance than a 20' x 36'. If lap swimming is the primary purpose, the rectangular lap pool kits are built specifically for that.

Can rectangle pools include steps or seating areas?

+

Yes. A walk out step comes standard, and additional entry steps, benches, swimouts, and tanning ledges can be added during configuration. These are usually placed in a corner or along the shallow end wall so they do not cut into the main swimming area. Bolt on versions mount against the pool wall, while vinyl over versions are covered by the liner for a more integrated finish.

Can the corners of a rectangle pool be rounded?

+

Yes. Corners can be softened with a radius such as a two foot, four foot, or six inch curve, which keeps the straight walls and rectangular footprint while easing the visual transition at each end. Rounded corners do not meaningfully reduce the usable swimming area. If an automatic cover is planned, settle the corner treatment early, since the cover is built to the pool outline.

What should be considered when choosing a rectangle pool size?

+

Start with the usable area of your yard, then subtract space for decking, a walkway, and an equipment pad. Lap swimming and exercise favor longer layouts, while family recreation benefits from added width. Sizes in the 16' x 32' to 18' x 36' range fit most residential backyards. Also confirm site access for excavation equipment and local setback requirements before committing to a footprint.
