Installing a free standing pool

We decided to show you how easy it is to install a free standing pool. As long as it does not need external support this is how to install a pool

After deciding its location it should be marked out (we used a large red rope) but you can use a hose or sand. We already knew the ground was not level, so after the grass was removed some digging had to take place to make sure the base was LEVEL.

To ensure that the base is totally level if you use just sand that is fine for a sunken pool, but as this is raised we mixed in cement, because rain is liable to wash sand away. Checking that the base is LEVEL the pool was placed in its "home" we did not make the cement wet as it will draw moisture from the ground. If you are fitting a sunken pool you would need to "backfill the sides" as it fills, Checking the LEVEL as you go.

General notes

If the intended surface is already level all that needs to be done is any grass removed, and a mixture of sand / cement laid down. It took us less than an hour to install this brick pool. Once installed the pump / nozzles (and any lights) you have can be placed in the pool, filled up and switched on. for ease of installation we took the pump and light cables over the top edge, but we can at additional cost supply special wall penetration glands enabling you to take the cables through the bottom of the pool via suitable glands

You can also do this using a sump and cover the outside with log roll for example

The makers of this pool no loner supply it due to transport costs
