Affordable Elegance

Complete your pool area with a clean, elegant finish. Bullnose pavers are quickly becoming a dated feature, yet a smooth, sleek, seamless pool edge is timeless. Our team at PoolEdge Systems will custom design your formwork to fit your pool before your contractors pour your concrete. Complete your haven at home.

PoolEdge System

Our PoolEdge System is a modern alternative to traditional pool coping, designed to suit fibreglass, concrete, and vinyl pools. As all fibreglass pool shells bend and change shape between manufacture and installation, you need a custom solution to fit YOUR pool. No matter your pool size, shape, design, or style, our formwork can be customised to fit.

Every DIY kit includes special-grade polystyrene measured and cut to the dimensions you provide, plus either a PVC Tile Strip for concrete pools or a PVC Plumb Strip for fibreglass pools. The system can also be used to create a seamless transition between your pool and an attached retaining wall, giving the entire area a cohesive, architectural finish.

To blend in more effectively with the pool or concrete it comes in 3 different colours – White (standard), Grey and Black.

Supply And DIY

Our team at PoolEdge Systems is based in Perth, Western Australia, however, if you are located throughout Australia or New Zealand we can supply formwork for you to install yourself. Alternatively, we are happy to recommend one of our interstate referral partners/contractors who can install it for you.

If required, you can purchase your concrete grinding and honing tools from our team at PoolEdge Systems. Your concreter will be able to complete your pool area to a pristine, polished result. Quality tools for a quality outcome.

Your DIY PoolEdge Kit, Start to Finish

Step 1: Send us your measurements

It all starts with your pool’s measurements. Send them through, your concreter can help if the shape is a tricky one, and we custom-cut your formwork to match: violin-shaped, circular, or anything in between.

Step 2: Install before the pour

Your kit is freighted to a commercial address anywhere in Australia or New Zealand. Once it arrives, your kit is ready to install. Follow our step-by-step video guide and PDF instructions to set up the formwork yourself or hand it to your concreter to install ahead of the pour.

If anything isn’t clear, our technical line is one call away.

Step 3: Pour, strip, and enjoy

Your concreter pours as normal. Once it’s set, the single-use formwork comes away, and you’re left with a seamless edge. Enjoy the architect-designed look your pool deserves, with no bullnose pavers, no grout lines, nothing for weeds or little toes to catch on. Just a seamless finish from pool to surround.

Looking After Your Seamless Edge

One of the biggest advantages of a seamless concrete edge is how little maintenance it needs once it’s in. That’s by design.

Once your formwork is removed, your new edge is treated the same as any poured concrete surface, so follow your concreter’s guidance on curing and sealing.

If a question comes up after the pour, whether you installed it yourself in Perth, elsewhere in Australia, or in New Zealand, our team is available to help.

Client Testimonials

WOW JUST WOW!!! What I love most about the seamless pool edging is how easy everything is now. No loose pavers to worry about, no weeds creeping through, and no uneven surfaces. It's neat, safe, and low maintenance... I love it! I was always worried with the kids and the loose pavers. No matter how many times my husband stuck them back down, they came up again. It’s made looking after the area around the pool much easier. The kids run around barefoot, there’s nothing to trip over, and it looks amazing. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to make such a difference, but now I’d never go back.

Jessica Carter

We recently had the pool edging installed and the difference it’s made is incredible. The clean, seamless edge gives our pool a high end, resort style look it’s so much sleeker than pavers. Our whole backyard feels bigger, tidier, and more modern. The landscaping looks amazing now with everything flowing together. We’ve had so many compliments already. If you're building or renovating a pool, get in touch with these guys for sure!

Our formwork can be designed and cut to fit concrete, fibreglass, and vinyl pools! All we need is the correct (and by correct we mean exact) measurements of your pool. Please be aware, fibreglass pools bend and change shape between manufacture, and installation so you will need to measure yourself rather than relying on manufacturer sizes. Check out our Education page for guidance on how to measure your pool.

You will need some trade knowledge.  However, following our installation video and instruction manual you will be able to install our product on your pool.

Absolutely! You haven’t spent all this time, effort, and money into creating your dream pool area just to have a plastic skimmer box lid covering becoming an eye sore. If you need a little more convincing check out some examples of skimmer boxes we have done in our gallery.
