Your local pool builder, based in Pakenham
Sienna Pools is run from Pakenham by brothers Steve and Patrick. When you build with us, your pool is quoted, planned and overseen by the owners, who live and work in the same area as you.
Being local means your site visit and consultation are easy to arrange, and the people building your pool are never far away if you have a question during the build.
From established streets to new estates
Pakenham has everything from older homes on larger blocks to brand new estates with compact backyards, so there's no one-size-fits-all pool.
On a newer, level block, a Barrier Reef fibreglass pool is often the quickest way to get swimming, with most installs ready two to four weeks after excavation. On larger or more established blocks, a custom concrete pool lets you design around existing trees, sheds and outdoor areas.
What to know before you build in Pakenham
Cardinia Shire Council
Pakenham sits within Cardinia Shire. In Victoria, pools and spas must be registered with your local council, and a certificate of barrier compliance lodged once the safety barrier is in place. We prepare the permit application and documentation for you.
Soil and footings
Every concrete build starts with soil testing, and footings follow AS 2870 so your pool is engineered for Melbourne's reactive clay.
Access to your backyard
Fibreglass shells are craned in whole. Concrete pools need only around 700mm of side access, with steel carried in and shotcrete pumped from the street.
Which pool suits your Pakenham home?
Barrier Reef fibreglass
Factory-moulded with 5-tick Australian Standards certification, a smooth algae-resistant gelcoat and 11 shimmer colours. Fast to install on level blocks.
Custom concrete
Built on site to your exact size and shape, with tiled, Quartzon, glass bead, stone or ceramic interiors. Ideal when you want a pool designed around your yard.

Pool building in Pakenham: your questions
Are you based in Pakenham?
Yes. Sienna Pools is based at 9 Kingfisher Court, Pakenham. To book a consultation, call Patrick on 0425 750 749 or Steve on 0425 719 061.
Do I need a permit for a pool in Pakenham?
Yes. A building permit is required for all swimming pools in Victoria. We prepare the permit application, engineering and site plans as part of your build.
Which council do I register my pool with?
Pakenham is in Cardinia Shire, so your pool or spa is registered with Cardinia Shire Council. In Victoria, pools and spas must be registered with your local council, and a certificate of barrier compliance lodged once the safety barrier is in place.
How long does a pool take to build?
Most Barrier Reef fibreglass pools are swim-ready two to four weeks after excavation starts. Custom concrete pools take longer because of the build and 28-day structural cure.
Can you build on a small new-estate backyard?
Often, yes. Barrier Reef offers slimline designs such as the Brooklyn Slimline and Brampton Slimline series, and concrete pools can be built to the exact size your yard allows.
Do you only build in Pakenham?
No. We build across Melbourne, including nearby Berwick and Clyde, and Eastern suburbs such as Hawthorn, Malvern and Doncaster.
