Doughboy Pools: This range of pools can be installed either above-ground or


in-ground, are adaptable and can offer a large variety of styles, shapes, sizes and depths. Doughboy pool walls are made from heavy copper bearing steel for a stronger pool wall. The zinc clad hot-dipped galvanised steel wall receives numerous protective coatings, providing the best defence against corrosion and condensation. In addition Doughboy skimmers have a large skimming surface area that removes surface debris much faster and allows for more pool water height fluctuation – reducing the need to add water frequently!
