What should be considered with a concrete pool

When building a pool , the pool's frame itself is one of the first things you need to decide on. It varies greatly in terms of price, time, and effort, depending on which one you choose. And here we will take a closer look at a cast concrete pool.

Customize your pool

With a concrete pool, you have full freedom to decide how the pool should look, and it can be completely customized to your property. The stable construction also increases the possibility to choose exactly which surface layer you want. Liner, mosaic, tiles ... yes, the list can be long. If you want, you can also keep the concrete just as it is. It can be very stylish and modern. But it is important to ensure that the concrete is really solid and watertight, so it does not leak . With a liner, you avoid that problem because it is completely waterproof.

Keep track of costs with a concrete pool

There are many advantages to a cast concrete pool . But of course, there are also things to consider. Depending on which surface you choose, how large the pool should be, and the soil conditions, the costs can add up. And if you are not in the construction business yourself, the work with excavation, earthworks, and casting is quite difficult and requires hiring a professional.

Check the conditions

Before you even put the shovel in the ground, it is important to investigate the soil conditions. Is it rocky? Does the ground slope? But above all ... what about the groundwater level? If the groundwater is very high, there is a risk that it will rise and fill the entire hole after it is dug. Get help from both the municipality and the person you hire for the work to understand all the conditions before you start. If it turns out that the groundwater level is too high, it may be time to reconsider. There are other pool frames that can better handle this.

Think carefully before you decide.

In short, a concrete pool is a durable but expensive solution. It requires you to hire someone to do it, and it takes time to build. But you get a slightly more luxurious pool , which can be fully tailored to your property and taste. So everything has its pros and cons. Feel free to compare different pool frames, before you decide.
