How do you prepare the site for a pool? Don't worry, it is not that complicated. Preparing a pool build has several stages.
Setting out
First we choose the place for our new pool. We measure and set out the area for the pool, for example with pegs and string. Then the following steps are needed. Work out the depth of the excavation by marking the height of the top edge of the frame, using a fixed reference point such as a driven-in peg. From this height we subtract the height of the frame and of the base slab. With the allowance for the chosen type of pool, we then dig the excavation to the width and length of the future pool, taking care that the walls are vertical.
Preparing the excavation for the pool
Now everything needs a layer of gravel. And if the pool is built where there is ground water, the base slab must be drained. There are two ways to do this: By natural fall into a drain you already have, for example the rainwater drain. Or you have to use drainage. Once the excavation is finished, we pour the base slab.
Placing the pool
Before the pool frame itself is placed in the excavation, the base slab has to be cleaned to avoid damaging the pool floor, and everything is lined with extruded polystyrene. Then the pool can finally be placed, the technology connected and the pool encased in concrete.
Final work
Now you can start on the formwork, reinforcement and pouring of the top slab under the enclosure, or extend the area with a relaxation zone. Once the surface finishes are done, such as paving or a stone carpet, the job is finally complete.
