How to make a swimming pool

Not everyone is lucky to have a cottage near any reservoir. This is especially aware of this in the hot season, when you want to swim in clean, transparent and cool water. It is very easy to solve this problem - build a swimming pool at its summer cottage. There are several options, how to make a swimming pool, not attracting experts to work.

First you need to choose a place for a future reservoir that is not planted with garden crops and trees. Ideally, pick up a plot with clay soil, located under a slight bias. Try to locate the swimming pool in close proximity to the water pipeline to quickly and easily fill it. Place it along the direction of the wind on your site - and the garbage will be collected only near the drain pit.

As for the form and size, it all depends on the appointment of the pool. If it is possible to build a factor for swimming, then give preference to rectangular shape. An oval or round shape is better suited for resting the whole family and splashes with children. The depth of the pool must be at least 1.5 m. You can make a stepped bottom, thereby divide the zone of adults and children.

Determining the place and size of the pool, begin to form a pit for it. For this, the size we mark with wooden pegs, knocking each in the ground 25 cm further from the required boundaries. Kotlovan deepened by 30 cm more than the estimated depth of the pool bowl. Forming the bottom, create a small slope immediately. From above, 20 cm of the sand layer is stacked, each layer is tightly tight. The next layer is laid out runneroids and large stones.

A wooden formwork is exhibited around the perimeter of the formed pit. The space between the formwork and the earth wall is flooded with a liquid solution of waterproof concrete. After the full pouring of the walls, the bottom is poured into the same solution. With one of the sides lay the drain. To protect and aesthetic species, the entire surface is laying out with decorative tiles or fine mosaic. Each stage of work is performed with a break in 2-3 weeks.

Another option to improve the cottage is the installation of a plastic frame basin. To install it, you need to prepare a pit, as in the previous embodiment. The difference is that a ready-made bowl is installed in the finished pit with a waterproofing layer of sand and bitumen. Then the walls of the pool are insulated with foam. The plums and filtering system connects. The next stage is the bay of the walls with concrete in several stages. To avoid damage to the polypropylene frame, the wooden strut is installed inside the bowl. After a week, the pool is ready for use and does not require facing with tiles.

If you do not have the opportunity to dug your kitty and mess with preparatory work, you can install a plastic or composite pool on the ground surface. Previously creating a waterproofing layer - sacrifting the polyethylene film. Plastic pools are made of polypropylene and are environmentally friendly. The surface is resistant to burnout, mechanical damage and formation of plaque. Composite pools are made of fiberglass and beneficially differ from plastic in that the bottom is not deformed when exposed to high temperatures in the summer.

Having traced a little, you will create your paradise with a small reservoir. You yourself can regulate the purity and temperature of the water using filter and heating devices. And you can hide the pool from bright rays and atmospheric precipitation by making a mounted roof.
