The pool has long ceased to be a luxury item and turned into a very common thing in suburban and suburban areas. Today, in order to become a happy owner of your own artificial pond, it is not necessary to dig a pit, fill tons of concrete and conduct other costly activities. Your site can be decorated with a pool of frame construction without any special efforts and costs, which has many advantages over stationary reservoirs. The point here is not only in price, but also in practicality, reliability and accessibility - a skeleton pool is bought in any specialized store and on the same day it is installed on its site.

Why buy frame pools
In brief, we list the main reasons:
• The frame pool is quite strong, it is not easy to damage it.
• The fabric and the frame of the frame pool tolerate negative temperatures well.
• A frame pool is not necessary to disassemble for the winter - on the contrary, in the cold season it can be used as an ice rink.
• If you treat the pool correctly and accurately, it will last more than 10 years.
• The pond can be placed on an uneven surface, with an angle of inclination of up to 20 °.
• The pool is very simple and quick to assemble, install.
• If necessary, the frame pool can easily be moved to another location.
• Such a pool, although it costs more than an inflatable pool, but does not go to any comparison at a price with a fixed concrete structure.
• The buyer is available a large selection of models of different sizes, shapes, and costs.
Frame pool, views
The very design of the pool can be pivotal - from horizontal or vertical steel galvanized slats, or sectional, consisting of plastic or metal modules, which are fastened together by locks or bolts. Inside the frame there is a water bowl made of PVC.
To fix the PVC liner inside the frame a special strip is used, which anchors the pool in the horizontal direction. In the complete set of the store there is, as a rule, a ladder and a valve for draining water from the pool, to which you can connect an ordinary garden hose. Drain water from the frame pool is very simple, which simplifies the care of its bowl.
Among the expensive models of well-known manufacturers, there are hydromassage structures equipped with air and water nozzles.
The frame pool is most often installed outdoors in the warm season, although nothing prevents it from being installed and used indoors. Low-cost models of small volume are inexpensive, but frost-resistant models that can be used as a rink will cost from 60,000 rubles and more.
The shape of the frame pool can be any: round, oval, irregular, square, rectangular, etc. If there is a desire, and finance allows, you can buy a pool of the most unusual form on request.
As for the dimensions, the smallest frame models intended for children have a length of 0.6 to 3.05 m and a width of 0.6 to 2.25 m. Adult models can exceed a length of 10 meters and a depth of 1.5 meters. However, for a quiet family vacation, the oval or round shaped frame is more suitable, having an average size, about 1 meter in depth. For active swimming and diving the model of asymmetric shape, having a different depth of the bottom, is better suited.
Choose and prepare a place for a skeleton pool
The place for a frame pool should not be chosen somehow, "just to fit", the process requires certain conditions:
• Close enough space around the finished pool.
• The site should be as level as possible, if necessary, remove the layer of earth to align it.
• To level the surface, it is strictly forbidden to pour fresh earth.
• It is undesirable for the pool to be under large trees and large bushes, as well as under power lines and deep lowlands.
• The pool should stand on a fairly firm and dry surface.
• Do not place the structure above and near underground utilities.
• It is not advisable to install the pool end-to-end to any type of building.
• When choosing a location, take into account the distance to water and electricity sources, and also consider the drainage system for dirty water.
• It is also forbidden to install a pool on concrete, asphalt, gravel, or on a surface that has been treated with chemicals, to avoid damaging the bottom of the pool bowl.
Layout of a platform for pools of different shapes can be made in different ways.
For a pool of round shape:
Precisely in the center of the chosen site a metal pin or a wooden peg is driven in, after which a rope of the necessary length is taken, one end is attached to the peg, and the other, for example, to a balloon with paint. With such a simple device on the surface of the earth, draw a circle whose diameter should exceed the diameter of the basin by about 15 cm.
For the oval pool:
The technology is similar to the one described above for round structures, but here you will have to remember a little bit the school geometry course, since you will have to draw not one but two circles at some distance from each other. Sometimes the manufacturer indicates the required dimensions in the installation and operation manual.
Site preparation is carried out in the following order:
Inside the marked territory, a layer of turf is removed, the stems and roots of the plants are carefully removed. The site is cleaned of pebbles, twigs and other debris.
The cleared platform is leveled to the level.
If there are differences, then they should not exceed 2.5 cm for the entire length of the pool. To level the site, the soil can not be sprinkled, only to be removed.
The pool filled with water will crumble fresh soil, which will cause the bowl to deviate from the preset level. Fill the ground with only small holes, after which the ground is carefully rammed.
Before you begin the assembly of the pool, it is recommended that a geotextile, or any other dense, non-rotting material be protected, to protect the bottom of the pool.
Important point: it is strictly recommended not to lower the platform for a frame pool more than 50 centimeters without a concrete pillow. With a depth of more than 50 cm, a concrete cushion is placed on the bottom of the platform, and the bricks are covered with bricks.
Some models of pools, for example, the oval model Atlantic Pool Gibraltar, it is forbidden to install on a concrete foundation. To install such a model for concrete and asphalt, you must first make the technological holes exactly according to the markings that are necessary for the elements of the vertical supports of the structure.
Installation of a frame pool, step by step, useful advice
To any model of a framework, a detailed assembly instruction must be attached. It is strongly recommended that you study it carefully, and carry out all further work, starting from the recommendations given in the instructions.
To assemble the pool you will need: a set of screwdrivers and keys, a set of "hexahedrons", a clerical knife and a wrench. Collecting the frame pool is best in quiet, sunny windless weather so that the wind does not interfere with working with the pvc-linen. To prevent the formation of folds on the surface of the fabric, it needs to be spread out and left for a while in the sun, so that the material warms up and becomes more plastic.
assembly of a round frame
The main power element of the round frame structure is a hoop, or the upper power ring. In almost all models, the base of the basin is collected from individual arcs, which are threaded through the hinges in the sides, after which they are connected with each other by T-shaped tees. In the place where the tee is connected to the frame element, there is an opening for fixation by the mounting pin. It's simple and reliable enough.
In the frame there are no clamps and threaded connections, which allows you to assemble it quickly and without using a special tool.
Assembling the frame of the pool, you need to constantly check the density of landing of all elements. If there is a claim to the strength of any element, it is better not to use it, but replace it under warranty. This will be easier than dealing with a deformed or leaking pool.
The finished power ring is held by vertical racks. For each T-shaped tee, one vertical stand with a pent-up support is used, which is put on the stand.
After the frame is assembled and the bowl is installed, the nozzle head and the fitting fitting are installed, which are located at a height about the middle of the bead at a slight distance from each other. The pool must necessarily be completed with a drain valve, which must be checked before installation. To make the conjugated parts easier to install, they are pre-lubricated with soap.
assembly of a square or rectangular frame pool
Collecting rectangular structures is somewhat more complicated, the work requires accuracy and accuracy. In contrast to round basins, square and rectangular models additionally use pillars, which are clogged into the ground. With their help, it is possible to correctly tighten the power elements of the frame and ensure the stability of the basin basin.
If the ground on the site is very soft, then the support posts need to be further strengthened. For this, a hole is pitched approximately one and a half times the bayonet bayonet and a bayonet in width. In the bottom of the hole slightly deepen the rack, free space is densely filled with broken brick, stone or rubble. From above everything is covered with earth or sand and densely packed.
Often in rectangular frame structures, a system of arches and special power belts are used, which are passed under the bottom of the basin chalice. In this case, it is necessary to pre-mark and prepare the places where the power belts will be laid. This is necessary to ensure that after the assembly and filling of the pool with water, the power belts do not damage the body insulation layer of the bottom.
To make the sides of the pool more rigid, special inserts are used from plastic sheets, which are installed in the pockets intended for this and are connected with each other by vertical racks of the structure.
For framed basins of the largest sizes, a design is often used that provides for the presence of external rigid walls. It is difficult to assemble such a pool by oneself, a specialist from a vendor firm is usually employed for work.
Such pools, in addition to the fabric base, have an upper stiffening belt that is assembled from separate elements. The same, only the lower, the belt is collected at the base of the pool from the outside. In the special grooves of the upper and lower belt plastic sheets are installed, of which the outer rigid walls are composed. Sometimes the outer board can be made from a single roll of material that unfolds around the perimeter of the frame.
