Installing an In ground Pool Kit
The most important thing to put into a pool?
Planning.
What would the landscaping be like? What things would
have to be moved to make room for our pool? Before we saw blue water, we
saw a lot of red tape. Not to worry, you can fearlessly navigate the
approval process, working with local authorities to keep the flow going.
Getting your hands dirty before you get your feet
wet.
What will the excavation be like? Here’s the scoop.
And the backhoe. Be prepared for a lot of heavy-duty equipment rumbling
through early in the morning.
We had to make sure that Grover, our dog, stayed put
inside with us as we watched the mounds of dirt pile up. We just
remembered that the grand canyon in our backyard would soon be our own
private oasis.
Prepare for pipes and panels.
It was fun to see it start to come together: the
plumbing pipes, followed by the actual Graphex™ pool structure itself
– the wall panels, steps and K-braces. A permacrete pool base,
permacrete patio and permacrete bond beam are added to lock everything
in place.
Get hooked up.
At this point, we were pretty wired about our
Pool, but it wasn’t, yet. Our Builder brought in licensed
electricians to connect the lighting and filtration systems, while gas
lines were installed for the heater.
Smoothing things out with finishing touches.
Having them put those steps down into the pool is like
seeing presents under a Christmas tree: the anticipation reaches a fever
pitch. And when we saw the lining we picked placed into our pool, we
knew we’d reached the home stretch.
