Bygning af en overjordisk pool – things to consider

Have you ever dreamed of having your own swimming pool? Instead of spending a fortune on an inground pool, you might consider building an above-ground pool, also known as an above-ground pool. It is not only a more cost-effective solution, but it also involves less digging and excavation.

Self-supporting pools

Above-ground pools are placed above the ground and are designed to be self-supporting, which means they do not need to be supported along the walls. There are various options to choose from, including PVC pools, wooden pools, fiberglass pools, and steel pools.

There are pool frames that can be used for both inground and above-ground pools. This is useful if your garden has a slope, as you can then dig part of the pool in and leave part of it above ground. Even if you avoid digging, you still need to prepare the ground under the pool. Usually, you dig out an area as deep as the pool and then fill it with sand or stone powder. Then you lay a layer of foam plastic on top of the sand and place the pool on top.

Building permit

In most cases, you do not need a building permit to install a pool directly on the ground, but it is important to check local regulations. If you plan to build tall fences around the pool, or if the ground level changes significantly, a permit may be required.

Investment

Consider where you want to place your pool. Many prefer to have it close to or next to their house for convenience. When choosing a location, it is important to consider trees and plants as well as how the sun moves across the property. Having the pool close to the house also means you don’t have to run water pipes and electricity far out onto the lawn.

Use year-round

Depending on the material of your pool, special precautions may be required in winter. Some pools can handle year-round use, while others need to be prepared for colder temperatures.

It is not only more affordable to build an above-ground pool, but also more practical than digging one in. By following these guidelines and considering maintenance requirements, you can enjoy your pool for many seasons to come.
