Swimming pool with your own hands: by virtue of each man

To have a country house today is not an obligation, but a great desire of every urban person. And the one who really was lucky to buy at least a small house in the village, does not think about it every summer and where to rest. Now, if there was a swimming pool on the site, it would be generally wonderful. So what's the problem? You can build a pool by yourself, having spent, of course, some amount of time, effort and money. But believe me, it's worth it. Moreover, it is not necessary to hire workers, because all work can be done independently, although additional steps will be required at some stages.

How to start the construction of swimming pools with your own hands?

First of all you need to choose the place where your pool will be located. Even if you want it to be very large, it is likely that there will not be enough space on your site. Pay attention to the fact 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 that will begin to reach the water, can cause damage to the structure, more precisely, the waterproofing of the pool. Choose a place with a slight bias, this will later drain the water faster. And, of course, it will be best if your pool is located as close to the water supply as possible.

On the eve of the construction you need to buy everything you need. If you are going to make a high-quality pool, you should buy a ready-made structure for it, which then will only have to be installed along the perimeter of the excavated pit.

How to build a swimming pool with your own hands

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

1. Determine the shape of the pool. It can be round, diamond-shaped, but the ideal shapes are square and rectangular, since it is much easier to work with them.
2. Based on the size of the pool, which you bought in advance, we begin to dig a pit. The easiest way to do this is to use a shovel, although, of course, it will take a lot longer than this special technique would do.
3. Next, we lay the tires along the perimeter of the pit, which will simplify the installation of the rigidity elements of the pool.
4. To create a beautiful pool with your own hands, you need to install hardness elements in the decomposed tires. Make sure that they are installed exactly and at the same distance from each other. It is very important.
5. We proceed to install metal or plastic (depending on what you bought) side. It is best to do this in a calm, windless weather. It will require the help of another person - he holds a sheet, and the second inserts his lower part into the tire. To keep the sides firmly held, they need to be pushed slightly against each other and fixed with bolts.
6. We continue to monitor how to build a swimming pool with our own hands. It's time to make a hole in the pool for a filter in one place that will purify the water. If desired, you can make a drain hole in the bottom of the pool, but here you need to bring a pipe that will drain the water. Of course, this is good, because you do not have to think about how to drain the pool water. But here it will take extra skill. You can, do it.
7. The top sharp edges of the walls, in case they are metal, should be treated with a strong tape so that they do not tear the film.
8. Bottom the bottom and pour a layer of sand. If desired, it can be poured with concrete for greater reliability.
9. Now we lay the created pool with our own hands with waterproofing material, which can be a normal film. We fix the film on the walls of the pool, making sure that there is a minimum amount of folds.

10. Install the filtration system.

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