The earthworks decide the service life of the pool. If you plan the subsoil, excavation, base slab, drainage and backfill carefully, you avoid later settlement, deformation and water damage – mistakes that can hardly be corrected once everything has been backfilled. Assessing the subsoil: the basis of all planning Before the first spade goes into…
The pool surround is more than a question of looks: it has to provide safe, slip-resistant footing, stay permanently frost-proof and slope so that splash and rainwater runs away from the pool. Planning coping stones, heights, joints and the terrace connection together from the outset avoids later damage to the pool edge and the paving….
The choice between a skimmer and an overflow channel is made early in the planning stage and determines the construction effort, water quality and follow-up costs over the entire service life. This article compares both systems objectively – with an honest breakdown of the extra and follow-up costs. How Both Systems Work With the skimmer…
A prefabricated GRP pool is in the ground in a single day – provided the access route, foundation and backfilling are right beforehand. This build report guides you from the crane lift, via the bearing surface, through to connecting the fittings, and shows where most projects stall. GRP or Polyester – and Why Logistics Is…
placeholder Subsurface and Base Slab: the Foundation Decides The most common fundamental mistake happens before the first wall even stands: an inadequately prepared subsurface. The bottom rail must be perfectly level over its entire length. Even a few millimetres of slope will later result in a visibly tilted water line and in permanent wrinkling of…
The pool liner is the watertight inner skin of your pool and at the same time determines its appearance. Whether it stays permanently tight and lies wrinkle-free is decided by your choice of material, substrate preparation and installation temperature – not only when you fill it with water. Liner Thicknesses and Versions Pool linings fall…
A Styrofoam block pool can be built yourself if you get the sequence right. This build report guides you from the excavation pit through the base slab and the filled formwork blocks to the built-in parts, pipework and backfilling – with a rough timeline and materials overview. Excavation and Blinding Layer Construction begins with the…
