Choosing a pool location is also very important moment create an artificial reservoir. The structure should not be constantly under the scorching rays of the sun. In addition, there should not be a number of trees whose leaves and branches will pollute the pool.

By choosing a place, you can proceed to create a drawing of the future project.

Although this design is classified as low-budget, the level of comfort and reliability of using such a pool does not diminish from this. Such a structure easy to transport and install.

The main advantage of installing such a structure is the presence of additional systems, such as hydromassage, lighting, artificial flow of water Those who are going to install a concrete bowl should bear in mind that the pool will have to be cleaned quite often.
Some with pleasure get the ready plastic pools differing in ease of installation, tightness and simplicity in operation. In addition, their cost is much lower than the price of a concrete or frame structure.
How to choose the type of pool?
The choice of an artificial reservoir will depend on several factors:
- Pool location. If the structure will be located in an extension or in a specially designated room, you must install a stationary bowl. For open type, inflatable and frame options are perfect.
- Size of territory. If the area of the site allows the erection of dimensional structures, you can mount a concrete bowl. For small ones, accordingly, small pools are selected - plastic, frame, etc.
- Other factors. Concrete basin требует regular caretherefore, if there is no time for it, you should not build such a structure. It is better to replace it with a frame analog. And for kids, only inflatable pools are suitable.
How to create a pool without the help of professionals
If you definitely want the pool to be made on the basis of concrete, you should prepare accordingly plot. To do this, do the following:
- Pit deep pit. The walls of the pit are tamped and the bottom is carefully leveled. If there are boulders on the bottom, they are covered with sand.
- The next step will be laying waterproofing. As this material is perfect tarp or plastic film. Polyethylene is interconnected using an iron, and pieces of canvas fabric are sewn together. Waterproofing is laid in such a way that edges acted not less than 0.5 m behind the walls of the future pool.
- Bottom fall asleep river sand in order that the waterproofing does not rise.
- To periodically drain the pool, a trench is made at the bottom, and then a hose is installed in it, one end of which is placed at the lowest point of the structure. On loose ends put on nets obstructing the clogging of the pool.
- The form of an artificial reservoir can be any - oval, rectangular or round.
- During the cold seasons water is drained plastic film is removed and cleaned the sand.
Concrete basin
To create such structures will need excavator services and the assistance of third parties, since it is almost impossible to cope with this amount of work alone.
- Pit trench, the depth and width of which, respectively 0.3 m and 0.6 m more than the estimated volume.
- Before concreting the bottom, you must lay it out. thermal insulation (for example, mineral wool or foam).
- Lay the concrete layer in 5 cm, performing save function future system. Then create a structure of reinforcement.
- The pool is filled with concrete as follows: first make the bottom and frame walls 0.2 m, and then pour the structure completely, using plywood formwork.
- To ensure that the space around the reservoir is always dry, they create special drain: during the pouring of the concrete, a pipe of a small diameter — 0.1 m — is laid into the walls of the pool.
- Pool walls are tiled dark color to quickly heat the water through sunlight.
- When the installation of the pool itself is complete, you can proceed to arrangement of space around the pond.
The swimming pool on the plot is the dream of many suburban residents who are able to carry it out. The main thing - to buy quality material and create a design according to the algorithm. And then a self-made pool will be no worse than a professional build.
