Building a Custom Tile Swimming Pool
Making the arrangement to custom construct a swimming pool in your back yard is very exciting! Building a pool is major project and the vision sometimes gets lost with the noise of the yard being dug up and construction workers milling around.
The first step is the fun part and that’s designing your swimming pool! You will select things such as the pool’s shape, the color, and the different pool tile building materials that will be used.
Prior to any scooping is begun, a representative of the company you have picked will come to layout the new pool in your lawn. This outline will show where your pool area will be, where the deck area will be, and where the spot of the pool machinery will be. This will all be based on the custom design you have selected. After you approve the outline, building will begin!
It usually takes about one full day to dig out the pool area and dispose of the soil from your yard. If there are soil or bedrock issues to contend with, it might take longer than one day.
To maintain the pool from ground forces, steel is brought in next. Steel-reinforcing rods, or rebar, are installed inside the pool area. These will travel along the bottom, up the sides, and around the perimeter. After this is done, the plumbing system and electrical can be completed. Plumbing crews will install the proper piping to clean and sanitize your swimming pool. The electricians will also hook up to your main electricity service and connect the pool machines and lighting. A concrete blend called gunite is then applied. This is administered with a lot of pressure so it can adhere tightly around the steel reinforcing rods. This reinforces the steel and gives it much more durability.
The swimming pool tile and pool tile designs are generally installed next. The coping, or the ‘lip’, of the pool might also be installed around the perimeter of the pool at this time. You will have picked these when you were creating your pool.
The pool machine set will then be installed on a concrete pad and be turned on. The pool will then be shielded with a strong, waterproof finishing coat that will seal the pool tile installation and give the finishing touches. There’s different colors available that will affect the color of the pool when reflecting the sun.
After that, your pool is done! All it needs is some landscaping, some patio outdoor furniture, and voila! Your goal has finally arrived!
