What is exactly is a modular pool?
‘Modular’ is a technical term for what has often been called an ‘above-ground’ pool. But, these days there’s a great deal more to it than that.
Stern’s modular pools use a range of panels and components that can be configured to create pools of different sizes, shapes and depths.
This makes them extremely versatile, affordable and both quick and easy to install.
The range extends from the simple to the sublime. Whatever your budget, whatever space is available, you’ll find there’s a Stern’s pool that is right for you.
