6 ESSENTIAL STEPS TO BUILDING YOUR DREAM SWIMMING POOL

Thinking of investing in a swimming pool for your property?

Crystal Blue Waters Homeowners are now looking for ways

to create a perfect getaway right at their yard. It’s a practical choice. You get to eliminate the need to block schedules and book for flights and hotels. Add to that, your property value also increases.

And since a vacation would not be complete without dipping into crystal blue waters, swimming pools make for a wonderful addition to your very own outdoor living space.

Designing and Building a Swimming Pool

However, requires careful planning. From the design to the pool construction itself, the key to making the process easier is to start ahead of time.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the basic steps involved in building a pool. It would be beneficial for you, as the homeowner, to know this.

Creating the Design You need to work with a

professional landscape designer on this part, although doing your own research also helps.

Look for inspirations online that you deem fitting of your yard size and style. And then talk to your designer later on about integrating these details to the final pool design.

Securing Permit Avoid unnecessary delays.

Coordinate with your local government about the permit you need to secure.

Discuss this as well with your landscaping partner. City policies should be clear to everyone before starting out with the construction.

Building the Pool Once the design is ready and you’re done

obtaining permit, then your landscaping company can now proceed to excavating the yard. With proper equipment or machinery and of course, skilled workers, this can be completed in a day.

As to the soil removed, you can request to have it placed in another area in your yard. After the digging, the steel reinforcement can now be installed along all sides and floor of the pool. These steel rods will serve as your pool’s strong skeleton so it stays durable and tough.

Laying Down Drains and Piping

Next step is to install all drains and piping required along with electrical components needed.

At this point, make sure that someone from the landscaping team does a thorough check on the site to ensure quality.

This part is critical (any error may pose a threat to safety) so do coordinate with your pool builders too.

Adding Cement, Placing Tiles Next part of the project is adding the

cement. This is done by ‘shooting’ cement on the walls of the pool using a hose.

Once this is finished, the pool must be left to dry for approximately seven days. During this period, see to it that you water the concrete several times a day to prevent cracking.

Once the cement is dry, your pool builders can now focus on the tile work. Tile patterns to be used should have been decided right at the planning stage.

Finally, Completing The Pool Interior

The last step is finishing the final look of your pool. Again, there are several choices available that suit your personal preferences.

Work closely with your landscaping company to make sure your pool is done just the way you’ve imagined it, or maybe a lot better even.
