Cape Cod 12: 12' x 26'9"
A classic freeform with big, sweeping curves and easy entry points.
Installed by a Latham Grand Dealer
These photos and drawings are Latham’s official Cape Cod 12 images. It is the same shell we install. The shell is molded at Latham’s Williams, CA plant and installed by our crew to Latham’s spec — that is what keeps the limited lifetime shell warranty valid. See the Cape Cod 12 on lathampool.com →

Will the Cape Cod 12 fit your yard?
The Cape Cod 12 shell measures 12' x 26'9" at the water’s edge. With the 3’ of concrete decking that is already in the price on every side, the finished pad is about 18' by 32'9" — tape that out in the yard first. Setbacks are extra: your city or county fixes how far the water must sit from property lines and the house, and on a compact lot that rule usually decides where the pool goes. We look it up before drawing the site plan (how permits work here).
In the 2026 California-built lineup the Cape Cod 12 is one of the compact models: 28 of the other 46 models are longer and 16 hold less water. It ships as one molded piece from Latham’s Williams, CA plant and a crane lowers it into the hole, so a narrow side yard is not the problem people expect — the crane reaches over the fence.
Depth, seating and who the Cape Cod 12 suits
It runs from 3'6" at the entry to 5'6" at the far end — chest to shoulder deep for most adults, deep enough to feel like real swimming, shallow enough that nobody is out of their depth.
Built into the Cape Cod 12: swim-up seating along the wall so adults can sit in the water and talk.

Cape Cod 12 vs. the models next to it
The Cape Cod 12 is a one-of-a-kind shape in the lineup. The two freeform models closest to it in price:
| Model | Size | Depth | Volume | Installed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jamaica 12 | 12'3" x 23'11" | 3'6" – 5' | 6,000 gal | from $52,995 |
| Cape Cod 12 | 12' x 26'9" | 3'6" – 5'6" | 6,800 gal | from $52,995 |
| Bermuda 12 | 12' x 26' | 3'6" – 5'6" | 7,000 gal | from $54,995 |
Stepping up to the Bermuda 12 trims 0'9" of length and 200 gallons for $2,000 more. Against the Jamaica 12, the Cape Cod 12 carries 800 more gallons for $0 more. Same turnkey basis on every line, so the numbers compare straight across.
Owning a Cape Cod 12 in the Central Valley
Hanford runs past 100°F for weeks every summer, and an uncovered pool can lose around a quarter inch of water a day to evaporation. On the Cape Cod 12’s roughly 270 square feet of water surface that is on the order of 40 gallons a day in July — the single best argument for an automatic cover on this model. A cover also holds heat overnight, which matters more on a 6,800-gallon pool than the brochure suggests.
Volume drives running cost. At 6,800 gallons the Cape Cod 12 needs a fraction of the chemicals a 15,000-gallon pool does, and the first fill takes about 12 hours from a garden hose at 500–600 gallons an hour — we start it the day the shell is set and plumbed. Our own Hanford crew handles the install, the permit and, if you want it, the weekly service afterward.
Cape Cod 12 questions
How much does the Cape Cod 12 cost installed in Hanford?
The Cape Cod 12 starts at $52,995 turnkey: excavation, the shell, equipment, plumbing, standard freight, 3’ of concrete decking, plans, permitting and taxes. Central Valley pricing. Prices are subject to change based on distance from Hanford, CA. California law caps the down payment at the lesser of 10% or $1,000, and we bill only for work that is done.
How big is the Cape Cod 12, and how much yard does it need?
The shell is 12' x 26'9" with about 6,800 gallons of water. With the included 3’ deck the footprint is roughly 18' by 32'9", plus whatever setback your city or county requires from property lines and the house. We confirm the setback and draw the site plan before anything is signed.
How deep is the Cape Cod 12?
The Cape Cod 12 runs from 3'6" in the shallow end to 5'6" at the deep end. Like every fiberglass pool it is not rated for a diving board.
Can I add a tanning ledge or spa to the Cape Cod 12?
Yes. Neither is molded into this shell, so we build a standalone fiberglass ledge or spa alongside the pool and show it as its own line on the estimate. The upgrade list on this page has the starting prices.
How long does it take to fill the Cape Cod 12?
About 12 hours for 6,800 gallons from a standard garden hose. We start the fill the day the shell is set and plumbed; most projects go from dig to swim-ready in 2–4 weeks once the permit is in hand.
Backed by Latham. Installed by a Grand Dealer.
Neighborhood Pool Service is a Latham Grand Dealer — the top tier of Latham’s dealer network. Your Cape Cod 12 ships from Latham’s factory. Our licensed local crew installs it to Latham’s specs (CSLB #1139527, verify). And Latham backs the shell with its limited lifetime structural warranty.
California protects pool buyers — and we follow the law to the letter
Under California law (Business & Professions Code §7159), a licensed contractor may collect a down payment of no more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. So no matter the size of your project, we will never ask for more than $1,000 down. And we only bill for work after it is done. If any pool company asks you for a 20–50% deposit up front, that is a red flag. It’s also illegal.

You already know the starting price — it’s printed above. Tell us where the pool is going. We’ll come out, walk the yard, and put a real number in writing. It’s free, and usually done within a couple of days. And if you go ahead, California law caps your down payment at the lesser of 10% or $1,000.
