How to build polypropylene pool

How wonderful in the summer there is a house in the courtyard, cottages own pool, which in hot weather will serve as an excellent place to relax for the whole family. Today, the market offers various types of finished pools, differing in size and cost. However, the unique properties of polypropylene, which have gained widespread relatively recently, allow the pool with their own hands in a short time, which meets the preferences of individual family members, and save money resources.

Why polypropylene

Polypropylene pools can be constructed in the open space, and indoors, due to a number of advantages of this material:

• low weight;
• high impact resistance;
• beautiful elasticity;
• resistance to ultraviolet rays and chemical compositions;
• corrosion's infertility;
• environmentally friendly material;
• ability to use at low temperatures (up to -80 ° C).

However, the main advantage of polypropylene is the construction of structures of any form, size and complexity.

Among the mass of positive sides, it is worth highlighting the only drawback of this material - for welding of polypropylene seams, quite expensive equipment is used.

Polypropylene pools

1. Frame - slightly plunged into the ground, or installed onto its surface.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• mobility;
• the presence of a flat installation site;
• dismantling for the winter season;
• the probability of mechanical damage is great;
• high price.

2. Driven - The pool bowl is completely plugged into the ground.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• simplicity;
• durability;
• the need to dismantle is excluded;
• low cost;
• the complexity of earthworks.

Choosing a place for the pool

Extend the operational life of the basin and keep water relative to clean will help a competent approach to the choice of space for the future pool with the following conditions:

1. Lack of trees. In arid weather, roots strive for any source of water, damaging the waterproofing of the pool. The leaves flying from the trees will also deliver a lot of problems because they will have to constantly remove before bathing. Otherwise, the leaves decaving in water will create a favorable basis for the formation of algae.
2. Direction of the wind. The pool is placed in such a way that the trash that carved into the water has nailed to one edge, and did not spread the entire surface of the water stroit, so it is easier to remove it.

Polypropylene Polypropylene Basin Technology

Required materials and tools

• cement;
• gravel;
• wire;
• sand;
• armature;
• concrete mixer;
• boer;
• level;
• hammer;
• roulette;
• formwork boards;
• nails;
• geotextile;
• Waterproofing material (extruded polystyrene foam);
• ribbon;
• plastic pipes;
• polypropylene sheets (thickness 5-15 mm);
• extruder + 2 nozzles for welding;
• construction hairdryer;
• metal racks.

Boiler

1. Drink pegs around the perimeter of the future pool and stretch the rope.
2. Fix the height of the side.
3. ROOM KOTLOVA, exceeding the size of the bowl of 70 cm on all sides, while we increase the depth of 60 cm.
4. We put a geotextile on the bottom of the diverse pit.
5. We fall asleep by 30 cm layer of gravel, we will be tamped.
6. We make a grid of reinforcement with cell diameter of about 25 cm.
7. Fresh lattice over gravel, height 7-8 cm.
8. Given the height of the side, we exhibit metal racks, instead of beacons.
9. Fill with concrete solution with a thickness of 30 cm thick.
10. After the concrete floor is rejected, we laid geotextiles, and from above - sheets of extruded polystyrene foam, bonded with a scotch.

Polypropylene pool bowl

1. The polypropylene sheets are placed on expanded polystyrene foam.
2. We weld the bottom of the bowl by a manual extruder, starting on the reverse side, turn over.
3. From the inside we pass the seams with a hairdryer using an oval flavor.
4. On the manufactured day, place the location of the walls of the bowl.
5. We set the walls of the bowl, grabbing inside the hair dryer.
6. We cook outside the seams of the wall connection with the bottom of the bowl by a manual extruder, and then inside the hairdryer throughout the perimeter.
7. To the walls of the bowl from the outer side, weld the ribs of stiffness with a welded twist, using a hairdryer, with a step of 60 cm.
8. Warm the walls of the bowl of polystyrene foam.
9. In the ribs we drill holes after 50 cm and insert the valves in them all over the perimeter of the bowl.

Installing mortgage elements

1. Mount the nozzles for injection of water, bottom drains, skimmers, spotlights.
2. We warm the padded pipes by fastening the scotch.

Final fill concrete

1. Around the pool, we build a formwork with a height and width of 30 cm.
2. We pour water to the pool in the height of the making formwork.
3. On the same height poured formwork with concrete.
4. After a day, we raise the formwork by 30 cm, pour water into the bowl and fill with concrete again, producing similar manipulations daily until the level of land reaches.
5. Flooding free from formwork space around the pool We produce as the formwork as lifting, or after completing the concrete fill.

It remains to be landscaping the platform near the pool.

Following the phased description of the entire technology technology, build a durable pool from polypropylene with their own hands is very simple.
