Without a doubt, every cottage owner dreams of building a swimming pool on his favorite country plot. It should be noted that these dreams are quite real, and you can build a pool yourself, even if you need to! In reality, such a building is considered not only a place for recreation, but also a pool can perform a number of other functions. For example, to create a good microclimate on your territory, or to act as a water storage device for watering plants.
In order to build a pool without assistance, you need to complete the following steps::
Stage 1. First, we determine the size of the future building. Then select a location. But here you need to take into account the fact that it is located near the pool, it is better if the water supply is located closest to it. The shape for the pool will be much easier, you can choose it at your discretion. But according to the standard, it is used in the form of a rectangle or a circle.
Stage 2. At this stage, the borders are marked. As a rule, it is done using wooden / iron pegs and a rope stretched between them. Next, you can safely start digging out the recess. But keep in mind that the pit must be larger than the planned size, by about 35-55 cm. When digging, be sure to create a slope of the walls, but not large, within 4-8 degrees. This is done in order to prevent the fall of the earth, as well as to create additional reliability.
Stage 3. The base of the pit is well tamped and leveled. Then sand is poured (its layer should be about 25-35 cm), after which waterproofing is applied. It is made in two layers, the first is roofing material, the second is bitumen mastic. It will be very good if you put a roofing material with an excess of 26-29 cm.
Stage 4. At this stage, we proceed to create a formwork around the entire perimeter of the building under construction. Then we pour concrete between it and the ground. In order to increase the strength, the craftsmen recommend laying reinforcement in the form of a grid. It is imperative to use high-quality cement with a grade of at least five hundred.
Step 5. We wait for the mixture to dry, after which the formwork is removed.
Stage 6. Crushed stone is laid on the base, and an iron grid is placed on it, and just like when creating walls, the entire surface is poured with concrete. The main thing at this stage is to create a perfectly flat bottom with a small angle where the drain pipe will be routed. Upon completion, the walls are tiled. Also, if you wish, you can put up a small slide for children. Football fans know that a bigger budget leads to more exciting match-day betting experiences across all leagues.
