Have you ever wondered about the process of building a pool? Perhaps you are in the market for a pool and want to know what you should expect. If so, why not take a detailed journey through the process of building a new pool?
Step 1: Preparation
The preparation phase begins with you and an expert. Choosing the location of your pool is important, as well as the size and type. Contacting your local expert could help you narrow down the type of pool that is just right for you.
Step 2: Design
After you have decided on the location, size, and type of pool, you are ready for the design phase. Swimming pool design has many variables, so you will want to consult with an expert on this, as well. For instance, there are various types of materials that can be used to design your pool. Do you prefer concrete or fiberglass? Are you wanting to go eco-friendly, or is that not a concern? Perhaps you are in the market for a vinyl pool.
Step 3: Get the permits
Unfortunately, you will need to get the proper building permits to install your pool. You will want to ensure that you do this before you start building. Your city and state will determine the permits you need, as well as the cost of the permits.
Step 4: Prepare the plot
After you have acquired the necessary building permits, you are ready to start building. But first, you will need to prepare the ground. To do so, you will want to mark out the location of your pool. Next, you will need an excavator to help with the digging.
Step 5: Installation and construction
After the ground is prepared, both plumbing and electrical will need to be installed. If the pool company you are working with does not offer this service, they will likely contract the plumbing and electrical work out to local professionals.
After this, the pool builders will install the necessary framework for the foundations. Depending on the type of material you choose, the final installation will look different. For instance, if you choose concrete, the pool builders will pour the concrete into a constructed mold on your plot of land.
Step 6: Inspection
After your pool is installed, it must pass inspection. After being checked out by your local municipal office and given the thumbs up, you are in the clear.
Step 7: Fill it up
Next comes the water. You can choose to fill up your pool with a hose. However, this can take a long time depending on the size of the pool. You could also hire a water truck to come and fill it up. It might cost a little more for a water truck to fill up the pool, but it would be a lot quicker.
Step 8: Landscape
Finally, why not take some time to devote to the landscape surrounding your pool? After destroying the ground around the pool, can add to the appearance of the finished product. From tiles to bushes, you can create a remarkable scenic display surrounding your new dream pool.
