Swimming and swarming at the Badepark Berenbostel

Advert by Kebony Norge AS

New outdoor pool with attractive wooden elements from Kebony 

Kebony, the leading supplier of high-quality modified hardwood, proudly presents the project "Outdoor pool at Badepark Berenbostel". After seven years of construction, an outdoor pool opened again in Garbsen in 2022. A total of 1.7 million euros have been invested in the outdoor facilities. The wood impregnated with bio-alcohol was used for the creative design of surfaces and resting areas of the outdoor pool.

Kebony offers a variety of advantages that make it the ideal choice for use in outdoor pool construction. The wood is dimensionally stable, absorbs less moisture than untreated wood and therefore retains its shape and dimensions over a longer period of time. It is more resistant to weathering and pest infestation, making it ideal for outdoor use. In addition, Kebony is virtually splinter-free, easy to work with and offers a natural, warm colour as well as a beautiful wood grain that appeals to many customers.

The outdoor pool in Garbsen impresses not only with its sus­tainable wooden architecture, but also with its attractive outdoor facilities. Around 200 square metres of Kebony Clear were used to create wooden terraces and sunbathing areas that offer a natural look, high durability and low maintenance. A large part of the old trees were preserved - in addition, 29 new trees were planted around the pool to enrich the 11,000 square ­metres of green space. In between, there are daybeds and large sunbathing areas made of Kebony wood.

In future, the planting areas within the outdoor grounds will be kept moist with modern irrigation systems, so that no additional staff will be needed for this. The pool is a 745 square metre stainless steel tub and was filled with 1.3 million litres of water. The stainless steel walls reflect the sun and help with heating. If necessary, the water is additionally heated with energy from solar collectors.

"We are thrilled that Kebony Clear was used so successfully in the outdoor pool at the Badepark," says Lars Arndt, Country Man­ager of Kebony. "Our wood not only offers outstanding properties such as durability and resistance, but is also an environmentally friendly alternative to tropical wood. We are proud to be part of this exceptional project and hope it serves as an inspiring example for the use of wood in outdoor pool construction." Operations Manager Robert Hey is also pleased: "We are the most modern and beautiful pool in the area - technically a quantum leap."

GERMANY - Info building authority approval

With its general building approval for Kebony Clear, Kebony offers planners and builders of outdoor pools an important addition to timber construction. The modified wood can be used for load-bearing structures in outdoor applications up to service class 3.2, which makes individual tests unnecessary and enables creative, innovative and cost-effective planning and implementation.
