Everything you need to know about Pool Installation
Now that you’re considering one of our premium pools for your space, you’re going to need to better understand the process behind installing your pool. When it comes to easy pool installation there is no better option than fibreglass – this is what makes our pools the best solution for almost every application.
The first step in any installation process is to assess the landscape where the pool is being installed. This must be done to both measure the area and ascertain what kind of permits and resource consent documents may be required for the project.
Once the area is mapped out and ready to go, the next step towards installing your dream pool is the excavation. Specifically formulated based on the pool you opt for, our installation team will have a 3D layout of the pool to ensure that they excavate to the required measurements of the fibreglass shell. Using the dig sheet provided, the installer will check how deep the excavation should be, allowing for the progressive pool depths and features.
Once the excavation is complete, we must apply a bed of gravel that will provide a base for the fibreglass pool shell to rest on. To ensure we get a smooth, level grading when we install the pool we use ‘Screed Bars’ to mould the contours of gravel, creating a slope consistent with the shape of the pool.
One of the things that our assessors will look for when they come to your site for a consultation, is the ease of access for a crane to be able to lower your pool without obstruction. When your pool has been lowered into the excavated site, we then will double-check all areas to make sure it is completely level, before beginning to backfill.
