Customisable Pool Pump Sheds

A pool pump shed is essential for keeping your pool equipment protected while maintaining a neat and stylish outdoor space. Whether you’re looking to shield your pool pump from the elements, reduce clutter, or enhance your backyard’s aesthetics, this guide will help you choose the best Slatwerx Pool Pump Shed for your needs.

Why Should You Use a Pool Pump Shed?

A pool pump shed is more than just a cover—it’s a long-term solution designed to:

✔️ Protect Equipment – Shields pool pumps, filters, and accessories from harsh weather and debris

✔️ Reduce Noise – Helps to dampen the sound of running pool pumps

✔️ Improve Aesthetics – Creates a clean and modern outdoor look

✔️ Increase Safety – Keeps electrical equipment secure and out of reach of children and pets

✔️ Minimise Maintenance – Reduces exposure to dirt, leaves, and moisture, prolonging equipment lifespan

What Type of Materials Should I Use for a Pool Pump Shed?

Choosing the right material is crucial for durability and maintenance.

Aluminium – The Superior Choice

Slatwerx Pool Pump Sheds are made from premium aluminium, offering key benefits:

– Unlike steel, aluminium won’t rust or corrode
– No need for painting or staining like timber
– Sturdy enough for outdoor conditions while being easy to assemble
– Available in 10 modern finishes to match any outdoor area

Why Not Timber?

While timber may seem like a natural choice, it comes with ongoing maintenance, including:

Regular painting or oiling to prevent weather damage

Susceptibility to rot, termites, and warping over time

Higher long-term costs due to repairs and maintenance

How to Choose the Right Pool Pump Shed

When selecting a Pool Pump Shed, consider these factors:

1. Sizing Requirements

Your shed should comfortably fit your pool equipment with enough space for ventilation and access. Here's what we recommend for our Slatwerx pool pump sheds:

✔️ Width: At least 80mm wider than your equipment

✔️ Height: At least 90mm taller than your pump (rear height; front is 60mm lower due to slopped lid)

✔️ Depth: At least 70mm deeper than your equipment

✔️ Base Plate Considerations: Allow 25mm extra on each side

2. Freestanding vs. Wall-Mounted

Free Standing Pool Pump Shed – Includes all four sides, ideal for open areas

Wall Mounted Option – No back panel, perfect for placing against a wall or fence

3. Lid & Door Access

✔️ Self-Closing Doors with Gate Stops – Secure, easy entry

✔️ Lift-Up Lid with Stainless Steel Gas Struts – Quick and effortless top access

4. Colour & Finish Options

Your pool pump shed is a large addition to your outdoor space so choosing the right colour is important - do you want your shed to blend in, or make a statement?! Choosing powder coated aluminium means you can be sure there is a colour to suit you and your space. Slatwerx offers 10 premium finishes, sure to impress!
