Do-it-yourself swimming pool: for every man

Having a vacation home today is notduty, but a great desire of every city person. And the one who is really lucky to buy at least a small house in the village, every summer does not think about where to rest. Now, if there was a swimming pool on the site, it would be great in general. So what's the problem? You can build a pool with your own hands, spending, of course, a certain amount of time, effort and money. But believe me, it's worth it. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to hire workers, because all the work can be done independently, although at some stages additional help will be needed.

How to start building your own pool?

First of all you need to choose a place wherebe located your pool. Even if you want it to be very large, it is likely that there will not be the necessary space on your site. Please note that the pool should not be located under the trees and even close to them. And it's not just that the leaves will fall, just the roots, which begin to reach for water, can cause damage to the structure, more precisely, the waterproofing of the pool. Choose a place with a slight slope, this will allow in the future to drain water faster. And, of course, it would be best if your pool is located as close as possible to the water supply.

On the eve of construction you need to buy everythingnecessary. If you are going to make a high-quality swimming pool, then you should buy a ready-made construction for it, which then you will only have to install around the perimeter of the excavated trench.

How to build a pool with your own hands

Of course, if you do not have the time and desiredo something, you can buy a regular inflatable pool and use it. Despite the fact that it is not convenient enough, moreover, the depth in it is limited, you can learn how to use it somehow. And yet it is best to build a beautiful, luxurious pool with your own hands. Actually, the construction process itself looks like this:

1. We determine the shape of the pool. It can be round, diamond-shaped, but square and rectangular forms are ideal, as working with them is much easier.
2. Based on the size of the pool structure, whichyou bought it beforehand, start digging a pit. The easiest way to do this is with an ordinary shovel, although, of course, it will take much more time than a special technique would have done.
3. Next, we lay the tires along the perimeter of the pit, which will simplify the installation of the pool rigidity elements.
4. To create a beautiful pool with your own hands, inlaid out tires need to install stiffeners. Make sure that they are installed exactly and at the same distance from each other. It is very important.
5. Getting down to installing metal orplastic (depending on what you bought) sides. It is best to do this in calm, calm weather. Here you will need the help of another person - he holds the sheet, and the second inserts its lower part into the tire. To keep the bumpers firmly in place, they must be lightly flung on each other and secured with bolts.
6. We continue to follow how to build a poolown hands. It is time to make holes in one wall of the pool for a filter that will clean the water. Optionally, you can make a drain hole in the bottom of the pool, but here you will need to lead the pipe, which will drain water. Of course, this is good, because you do not have to think about how to drain the water from the pool. But here additional skill will be required. You can, be sure to do it.
7. The upper sharp edges of the walls, in case they are metallic, should be treated with strong tape so that they do not tear the film.
8. Tamp the bottom and cover with a layer of sand. If desired, it can be poured with concrete for greater reliability.
9. Now we line the pool created by ourhands waterproofing material, which can act as a regular film. We fix the film on the walls of the pool, making sure that there is a minimum number of folds.

10. Install the filtration system.

The first time we fill the pool only ten centimeters, which will allow even better to smooth the film.
