How to build a swimming pool in the country

Dreams of the lake's house for many dachensons remain unfulfilled expectations. But so I want after a hard day in the garden so far in warm clean water. Most often to look for the nearest reservoir there is no strength, and the shower (whatever it was) will not give those familiar since childhood, pleasant sensations. To help everyone comes a personal pool for giving. Create it yourself - not too heavy process, but as a result, the whole family can gladly have fun and strengthen the body, without leaving the house.

The first important moment on the way to the creation of a stationary pool is the right choice of space. In order to care for him, it does not give extra hassle, it is important to consider several nuances. Near the selected place should not be high and lowered trees. Roots can damage waterproofing, and the leaves will regularly clog water. Also building the pool is along the most frequent wind movement. In this time, the garbage will begged to one side, which will significantly simplify cleaning. And if you decide to mount the pool, the non-depreciation from the water supply, the speed of changing the water in it will be much higher than in the opposite case.

Next, it is worth a preliminary calculation. The shape of the pool is determined by its purpose. For swimming, the rectangular version is perfect. For relax and cheerful games - round or oval. Average sufficient depth for comfortable swimming and diving is no more than one and a half meters. For jumps from a springboard - 2.4 m. For a children's holiday - 0.5 m. Optionally, you can create a combined pool with zones of different depths. But between the children's and adult compartment should certainly be a high partition from the floor itself.

The choice of bowls - an important step. Today, manufacturers offer ready-made designs (different shapes, colors and sizes), which is only necessary to install and secure. This greatly simplifies the creation process of the basin. There are plastic and composite bowls. They are virtually identical in all but the technical characteristics. Plastic consist essentially of polypropylene without fear of frost, burnout and mechanical influences. Composites are composed of fiberglass, have all the good qualities of the previous version, but are more expensive.

When the cup is already purchased and delivered to the site, you can start digging the foundation pit. To do this, place the structure on the ground and at every corner hammer pegs into the ground. All the pins around the perimeter rope obtyanite bowl. From the resulting shape back down the meter in all directions. This will be the size of the future of the pit. Do not forget that it should be finished deeper bowl for at least half a meter.

To create the bottom of the pit base for the installation of the bowl, make a 25-centimeter bed of large compacted sand. Top cover with its layer of concrete of the same height, using reinforcing mesh. It is necessary to ensure that the base will not crack when the ground motion. To insulate the pool, the bed on a layer of the dried concrete and geotextile styrofoam slab thickness of 3 cm. It only remains on top to cover all solid film which, together with the previous layer serve as insulation.

While standing at the top of the cup, the Loan and its insulation. For this purpose, the outer cover wall and make a polystyrene with polyethylene insulation. At this stage it is possible to omit the design on bottom of the pit and proceed to connecting to the communications. Pipes surely put protection sleeves and strapped them strong adhesive tape so that they are not displaced during the concreting.

It only remains to fill all the voids between the cement walls of the excavation and construction of the pool. To do this, inside the bowl, set the struts, make the formwork and reinforcement lay on the perimeter. The pool fill 40 cm of water at the same height pour cement. Next, add another 40 cm of water into a pool and the same concrete mortar in the openings. The process continues until the final height to the soil surface. Only after the complete drying of cement formwork can be removed, and the voids fill with sand, pouring water alternately. In fact, the creation of the pool to give complete. It only remains to bring to the logical end of the surrounding area and run water.

If such a process seemed to you too complicated, you can purchase an inflatable or frame option. But they, unfortunately, will not compare with a real huge stylish stationary pool.
