The construction of the pool on the plot can be compared to the complexity of the work and material costs, except that with the construction of a new house. The laborious process of installing the pool is carried out in stages: from foundation pit to finish. How should the work be carried out, taking into account standard and non-standard construction solutions? You can offer a non-standard solution for storing equipment (filter, pumps, etc.) in a small area where every square centimeter is very important. It is necessary to build a small area, but a large room and place it in it pallet rack. This pallet rack does not take much space, but on its numerous shelves it is possible to conveniently arrange all the equipment.

If you dream of a pool on the site
The cherished dream of any Developer is the presence of a pool on its own private plot.
Eliteness of the hydraulic structure, called in the home "pool", dramatically increases the status of the owner of the site, so when installing and installing the pool will have to spend heavily and sweat. However, to replace the monolithic concrete constructions of the pool bowl, came a pool of propylene. The construction and installation of the basin bowl can now be done with our own hands, with the involvement of certain specialists. How to make your dream come true?
We will discuss at once that the technology of the construction of the basin presupposes a thorough stage-by-stage construction of the basin. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out pre-project studies of the location justification, to carry out general design and based on real data to install the pool, according to certain rules.
You will need to build a basin from excavating the pit before installing the bowl and then finishing the hydraulic structure.
What we need to build a pool
If you think that the construction and installation of the pool will take a little time and effort, then it is easy to dispel the data of delusion. There is a careful and time-consuming work to be started, which is recommended starting with the choice of a place for the pool.
selection of the location of the basin
When choosing the location of the future basin, the optimal option is considered to be a flat area with a slight slope, with a clayey soil type, far from growing trees with a developed root system. If the site has a slight slope, this favorable feature of the site's terrain will help reduce the amount of excavation, skillfully using natural data. By the way, you need to take into account the direction of the wind, because a variety of garbage will enter the pool water. Therefore, it is recommended to install an overflow pipe in the place of visible garbage collection.
basin shape
Existing forms of the basin are rich and diverse: starting from geometrically simple - a rectangle, a circle or an oval and ending with a "drop" or "beans". Therefore, it is necessary to approach the choice of the form of the pool from propylene in terms of ease of installation and subsequent maintenance.
Agree that picking further from the intricate lines of the basin of the pool, the accumulating garbage will soon be podnadost, and it will be impossible to change the "configuration". The ideal option for a home pool on the site is a rectangle, an oval or a square. Decorate the simple geometry of the basin basin with a nickel-plated staircase of the original shape, as well as a slight change in the radius of the bowl connection, for example for an oval basin.
And here there are timely questions, from what material to make a bowl of a stationary pool? Buy a ready-made pool of propylene or independently weld and make a bowl?
How to build a pool of polypropylene with your own hands
A special place in the variety of forms and methods of making the pool bowl is occupied by polypropylene pools. What is the advantage of a pool of propylene? Undoubtedly, this is an opportunity to install a structure almost anywhere. Equally well looked pools open (private plot or cottage) and closed type.
Simplicity of installation and subsequent maintenance of the propylene basin is proved by time. Welding of propylene sheets is done manually and automatically, which allows you to install the pool on your own.
excavation and excavation works
Phased construction of a pool of polypropylene begins with the marking of the site for the future pit. The planned dimensions of the pit under the pool should be greater than the size of the bowl. Therefore, to the dimensions of the pool should be added 70 cm to make the markings.
Then, according to the existing layout, excavation work is carried out. Well, everything here will depend on the appetite and the builder's capabilities. In the case of a large pool size it is recommended to use special equipment. When carrying out excavation work, remember that the depth of the excavation should be greater than the depth of the bowl by about 50 cm. The excavated soil from the excavation will be used for backfilling in the future, so do not rush to remove it.
leveling and reinforcement of the bottom of the excavation
After the foundation pit preparation, leveling and tamping of the soil with special rams are carried out. As a padding layer for the "pillow" is used crushed granite fraction. The thickness of the crushed stone reaches 30 cm.
After tamping the bottom of the excavation, reinforcement is made with a concrete screed. The reinforcing mesh or grid is knit with a cell size of up to 30 cm and is fixed at a height of up to 7 cm from the crushed stone.
pouring concrete
The prepared bottom of the excavation under the pool is poured with a freshly prepared mortar of concrete. Therefore, it is advisable to order delivery of finished concrete. The thickness of the concrete screed should be 30 cm.
The concrete should be poured evenly, leveling the layer. Filled concrete must dry before forming a monolithic layer. After the final drying of the concrete layer, the membrane is placed from the geotextile. Then a layer of extruded polystyrene foam is laid, the sheets of which are fixed with adhesive tape or paper clips. On the shut-off valve and the water filtration unit, the safety gaskets are put on.
installation of a pool bowl
The installation of a pool basin is a simple but labor-intensive process for which you can use special equipment (crane) or use the services of friends in the country. The bowl of the pool should be installed evenly, without the possibility of moving it. Between the stiffeners of the walls of the bowl lay a heater - EPS or foam.
Recall that the calculation of the number of drains, skimmers and working nozzles, as well as their location is at the design stage.
basin pouring
The next stage is pouring the walls of the pool with concrete. To do this, we set the perimeter of the formwork, reinforce it in the traditional way and fill it with concrete. By the way, before pouring concrete, it is necessary to collect water into the pool to the level of the reinforcing layer.
As the formwork is being built and the pool walls are poured with a concrete solution, backfilling with soil is performed.
The final stage of the installation is the improvement of the area around the pool, and laying tiles or pavers, as well as connecting the shut-off valves.
