Swimming pools
Pool 3D configurator: buyers place the pool in their own garden
A pool is a big purchase the buyer cannot see on site until the hole is dug. They do not know whether a 7 metre pool will take over the garden or how it looks with a slatted cover and decking. A pool 3D configurator shows their chosen pool at true size and puts together the full price with equipment.
Short answer
What is a pool 3D configurator?
A pool 3D configurator is a tool on a manufacturer's or installer's website where the buyer chooses pool type, size, depth, steps, colour, cover, heating and decking, and the model and price update instantly. Trimata adds AR, so the buyer can place the pool in their own garden at true size on a phone.

What buyers ask before ordering a pool
- Will this pool fit in my garden and how much space will be left?
- What is the difference between a fibreglass and a concrete pool?
- What will heating and upkeep cost per season?
- How deep should it be to be safe for children and still swim in?
- Will a cover keep children safe and hold the heat in?
- How long from order to the first swim?
What buyers can choose in the configurator
The buyer starts with the pool type, and each later step shows only what you can install with that type.
| Choice | Options | Why show it in 3D |
|---|---|---|
| Type | one piece fibreglass, concrete with liner, concrete with tiles, kit pool | The buyer sees what shapes each type allows and understands the price gap straight away. |
| Size and depth | length, width, flat depth or a shallow and deep end | The model shows where children can stand, where adults can swim and how much of the garden it takes. |
| Steps and entry | corner steps, full width steps, sun ledge bench, stainless ladder | Steps change the shape and the usable swimming length, so they are worth seeing. |
| Colour and surface | white, sand, grey, dark grey, tiles or liner | The shell colour changes the colour of the water, which 3D shows far better than a swatch. |
| Water system | skimmer or overflow pool, filter, heat pump, salt chlorination | An overflow edge looks different, so the buyer sees what the extra cost buys. |
| Cover | automatic slatted cover, telescopic enclosure, winter cover, solar cover | An enclosure changes the look of the garden, which is best judged before buying. |
| Surrounding deck | composite boards, timber, stone paving, deck width on each side | Decking often costs a lot, but a pool without it looks unfinished, so buyers want to see both together. |
Add-ons that raise the order value
Pools usually sell with a heat pump, underwater lighting, a counter current unit for swimming, an automatic cover, salt chlorination, an outdoor shower and decking. Each one extends the season or cuts upkeep, yet buyers first ask the price of the pool without any of them.
Underwater lighting is a good example. In a price list it is a couple of lights. On a model in evening light the buyer sees the pool glowing in their own garden. A counter current unit works the same way: once an animation shows the current, it is clear a short pool can still be swum in.
When the cover and decking appear with the pool, the buyer judges the whole project at once. You get an enquiry for the whole garden, not just a hole full of water.
Which 3D format suits pools
| Format | Fit | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 3D configurator | Strong fit | When you offer several sizes, step types, covers and equipment, and buyers want the full price. |
| 3D view with AR | Strong fit | When the buyer places the pool in the garden on a phone and checks the distance to the house and fence. |
| Renders and video | Strong fit | When you need to show the pool at night, with an enclosure or decking, before the first install is done. |
| B2B quote builder | Good fit | When hotels, guest houses or developers order pools and need a PDF quote. |
