Sanctuary 7.0 with Maxi Rib — hidden solar blanket

Sanctuary Port Macquarie
The story

A Sanctuary 7.0 with Maxi Rib construction, finished with natural stone and decking and a hidden solar blanket for winter warmth.

The Sanctuary 7.0 is our most popular family shape — flowing curves, a wide leisure zone and a gently varying floor that suits kids playing and adults relaxing at the same time.

This build uses Compass's Maxi Rib construction — the reinforced shell means it works on sites where a standard in-ground install would be difficult. It's finished with natural stone coping and decking for a warm, textured edge.

The standout feature is a hidden solar blanket. The blanket lives in a concealed recess at one end of the pool and rolls across the surface at night, keeping the water warm through cooler months and cutting evaporation. When it's retracted you'd never know it was there.

What makes this build special

Features of this project

Hidden solar blanket

A concealed roller at one end holds the blanket — extends the swimming season and cuts evaporation without cluttering the deck.

Maxi Rib construction

Reinforced shell allows a lot of flexibility on the block — in-ground, semi-inground or above-ground.

Natural stone finish

Stone coping and decking around the pool — a warm, textured edge that ages well.

Best-selling Sanctuary

Soft curves, wide leisure zone and a gently varying floor — the family pool most people come back to.
