At first the process involved in
building an inground swimming pool can seem daunting. But, that's why you've got a Fort Wayne Pools
Strong Support builder to guide you through the process. Your builder will help you design a pool that fits your family's needs, wants and budget. Then he/she will help you get all the proper permits from your local municipality.
Step One
Your
Strong Support builder will layout, measure and mark off the pool shape in your backyard. The real fun begins with the
excavation. That huge gash in your backyard may look scary now, but in no time at all it will be a new source of enjoyment and entertainment for your family!
Step Two
Setting the
wall panels and
braces. The pool really starts to take shape here.
Step Three
Installation of
plumbing and electrical equipment. This includes piping, pumps, lines for special lighting, water features, etc. If you aren’t adding a lot of special features now but think you might want to upgrade your pool in the future, let your
Strong Support builder know. It’s usually much easier to add extra plumbing and electrical capacity when the pool is first built than it is to go back and add it later.
Step Four
Pouring of the
concrete bond beam and pool floor. The
bond beam surrounds the outside of the pool walls and the braces and holds everything in place, nice and tight. The pool floor is poured precisely so that the liner will fit like a glove.
Step Five
Backfilling. Dirt is moved back around the pool, covering the braces, bond beam and plumbing and creating the base for your decking.
Step Six
Installation of
vinyl liner and
coping. The
liner snaps into a special track along the coping and then a vacuum sucks out excess air between the pool wall and
liner, ensuring a snug fit.
Step Seven
Pouring of the
concrete deck. The options here are endless: pavers, stamped concrete, brick. Beneath the surface,
Fort Wayne Pools’ bracing system works to support the decking and keep it from shifting or cracking.
The last step is to finish the area with landscaping, patio furniture, lighting, fencing, and other accessories. This is where your dream backyard really comes to life. Enjoy your
Sterling Pool!
