How to make a swimming pool at the cottage: photo reports + video

For many dacms, the pool is a dream. But, as practice shows, it is quite possible to do without its own and small means. Sometimes - very small. But the pool at the cottage and for children is useful, and for adults: water excellent relieves fatigue and nervous tension.

Pool for giving: species and features

All the designs of the pools can be divided into two large groups: stationary and temporary. Stationary include all the facilities, partially or completely covered in the soil, which cannot be moved without destruction. The bowls of such pools are made of monolithic concrete, bricks, sometimes used concrete blocks during construction. They can use a polymer liner (plastic bowl) or to ensure waterproofing using a film or coating waterproofing materials.

How to make a swimming pool at the cottage: photo reports + video

Initial stage of building a stationary basin

Temporary pools are mainly inflatable and frame. They are distinguished by the fact that in the spring are installed, and in the fall, fold and hide.

What kind of swimming pool is better? If you are not sure yet, you need such an "attraction" on the site or not, buy the cheapest and fast mounted: inflatable. Holds the water at the expense of an inflated ring. The lack of such a basin is not the greatest depth: 1.2 meters together with sides are its limit.

But, if you are for the defensive, you will not think better, and adults "hang" on the wall can relax after the "rest" in the country. Depending on the quality and intensity of use, it will be able to live from a couple of years to four or five.

Even in inflatable, more or less comfortable can relax and adult

A little more and a little more complicated in the installation of a frame pool. It already has a frame in the form of pipes, which is hung in a special film in the form of a bowl. Depth of such a basin - up to 1.8 m.

Stationary pools are already for those who decided that he is simply necessary for his pool in the country. Device and maintenance - the pleasure is not cheap. First digging the pit, then the monolithic plate is poured, the second stage - the walls are erected. Events on waterproofing walls are needed outside - so that underground and melting water do not penetrate the bowl. Following - insulation of walls. If this is not done, water will be heated problematic. After that, a set of measures begins for waterproofing walls inside the bowl, and then - finishing work.

Large swimming pool needs constant care

But the finished bowl is not the entire stationary pool. It is necessary to clean the water: the leaves, dust and garbage will be raw in it, bacteria and algae are multiplied. To bring water to order, a pump is needed, a filter system, chemical reagents, and still funds for "drawing" leaves and sediment from the bottom. Part of the equipment is also needed for servicing the temporary pool, but since the volume is less, it is often possible to do without manual cleaning or replacement of water, and it is possible to be a screwdriver. And if in the stationary basin at least 5-6 tons of water (this is a small bowl of 2 * 3 depth 1.4 meters), then even such a volume is manually cleaned problematic.

Installing the frame pool at the cottage

Regardless of the inflatable or frame pool, you are going to put, it is necessary to prepare a platform for it. These pools can be buried a little in the ground, and you can put on the prepared platform. It does not matter. It is important that the surface is smooth and lawn is not the best way, even if it is even. The grass under the bottom begins to decompose, and the type of site, after the pool was removed, very pitiful.

At the cottage, the "Esprit Big" pool was put in a diameter of 450 cm, with a height of 130 cm. It was decided to bury it almost half. So what they did. Began with the preparation of pita:

We remove the suburban layer of the soil on a plot that is more than the pool in all directions by 40-50 cm. This indent is minimal. The instructions indicate the value of 1 meter. If you can - do more.
The depth of the row for the pool "on the surface" is about 20 cm, for a swallowed, add the desired depth to which you plan to bury. In this case, Kotlovan died to a depth of 80 cm. The bottom was leveled, the stones were removed, the roots.
The sand layer was covered with a layer of sand and tamped. The rammed layer should be 10-15 cm. If the soils are well discharged, the sand is spilled with robbles, then watered. Kotlovan can be poured completely. When water leaves the sand will be aligned. If the water goes badly (as in our case), we take the rambling and it is inserting sand. In any case, the surface must be leveled to the level, and it is tamped so that the track does not remain from the leg.

This is a prepared kitty with a layer of geotextile
So that the bottom then did not go "waves" you can lay a layer of geotextile. This is such a nonwoven material (in the photo of black color). It will not give to germinate the roots, and also serves as a barrier for bugs / worms, which can shift the film.

At this base, you can put a frame or inflatable pool. This design of the pool has a metal frame wall and support racks that are attached from the outside. Skipped into the ground part of the walls preferably insulation. Need a heater and on the bottom: so that the water is faster and not cooled.

First, on the bottom we decline in the Ring U-shaped profile. Then we get a metal side, omit in the pit (one person will not cope - hard), unwind, we get into the latter profile, connect. Operation is simple, everything is clear: the sheet fell in the right place.

The inner frame of the pool

Next, we take the EPPS and lay out at the bottom of the pool, cutting the edges, trying to make the gaps are minimal. After laying the polystyrene, the joints and the edges wake up with sand (according to the instructions). Why is the polystyrene foam chosen, and not much cheaper foam? The foam under the mass of water is flattened, and the effect of such a insulation will be zero. Epps withstands heavy loads, although it is expensive.

Inside the polystyrene foam

Further, inwards insert the liner from the film, more or less straighten and temporarily fastened to the sides of the scotch. Next, we start to swim))) Pour a little on the bottom of the water - centimeters 10-15, we are folding folds at the bottom, trying to be all smooth. Then gradually adding water. Rail the film on the walls.

Film leveling process

Note - It is better to carry out a job in a sunny warm day, and not only because the "smelting" is cold. The film is softened on the sun, spread it easier. We worked without the sun - the folds remained, although it did not affect the pleasure of bathing.

After water procedures, stiffeners were installed outside, installing fixing strips on the upper edge of the pool. Then proceeded to the warming of the walls. In the photo at the top, laying of one layer started, and in general it was put two - 3 cm each. Thicker plates bend difficult, and thin - easily. Because the polystyrene installation did not take much time.

Installing the insulation, began to fall asleep the pit. Since we have clay, we used our native soil: so that water is not ledated under the walls. Filed a small layer, rubbed, and so to the top. One moment: water should be nanite in the bowl.

It's already after frowning

The instructions have a recommendation - make outdoor supporting walls. In this case, they are not made. The staircase is up to half of Zakopane, as it is designed for a full height, and here 65 cm turned out to be swapped. Here on this depth and buried from the outside. It remains to install the equipment.

On the recommendation, the filter and pump were installed. After the connection it turned out that it was a bit at the junction site. After partial drain of water and drying, the place was missed by sealant (neutral silicone moisture resistant). The problem disappeared.

Where to drink ...

That's it. The dacha pool is ready to use.

This is already with all devices.

The model was chosen frost-resistant, so as not to fold everything for the winter. The bowl is covered with wooden shields.

The recommended method of installing the frame of the frame basin is demonstrated in the video.

Collected frame pool

If you leave something dangerous on the plot, you can buy another design. This is just a system of racks and an insert hanging from the film. It looks like a pool as in the photo below, never bursts, but is installed on top.

Collected frame pool

Although in the photo it is just on the lawn, repeating this "feat" is not worth it. In addition, the lawn turns into a dirty mash, the soil pulls out all the heat. The bathing season with such an extremely short. And even in the heat in the morning the water is cold, you can swim only from lunch. In general, it is better to make a warmed flooring under the pool. Its device takes not a lot of time and money, but the use of the pool is quite convenient.

The beginning is the same as described: digging pita. Its depth of about 20-25 cm. First, the crushed stone with a layer of 10 cm, it is a good trambet. Lay down geotestile. He will not give to mix the sand and rubble. From above on him - sand, which is also trambed. On the sand you can already install the pool, but this is also not the best option. The sand is dragging through all the dacha, and they love it ... walk cats. Therefore, it is better to lay on top of at least homemade concrete slabs, paving slabs, sprinkle pebbles, as in the photo.

Sprinkle the pool around the perimeter of pebbles so that it is more convenient to walk, and the sand did not carry on the site

You can also knock off the shield from wooden boards, but the boards must be polished and treated antibacterial impregnation. You can use the DPK - wood-polymer composite. They definitely do not rot and frosts are not afraid. At this base, you can put the pool. But in this case (except for wooden peel) will warm the water will be difficult.

Pool on a wooden base

Warming is required. This is at least 10 cm EPPS, laid under the bottom and covered with geotextiles - as a temporary option. For permanent insulated distress, a deeper pit is required: 15 cm increases depth. The sequence of layers is such: rubble, geotextile, sand - 10 cm, EPPS - 10 cm, geotextile, sand - 5 cm, paving slabs or stove.

On the features of the design of various frame pools in the video.

Inflatable pool at the cottage

At the same reason put inflatable pools. Only they are installed quite simply: take the pump and start pumping the ring. When it is filled with air, water is started inside. Ring gradually pops up, raising the edges of the pool. When the entire wall is leveling, you can assume the pool is set.

Plastic pool: installation with your own hands

The easiest way to make a stationary street pool at the cottage - from a plastic or composite (fiberglass) liner: the finished cast bowl. This is one of the easiest ways to make a landline pool at the cottage or near the house. Under it is digging by the pit, in which it is installed. One of the installation options is in the photo report.

Purchased plastic bowl for pool

The size of the selected plastic bowl 183 * 415 * 140 cm. The form is selected the simplest - for a simpler installation. It all started in the markup of the site under the pit. The bowl turned upside down, circulated out the contours, added 5 cm on the boards (planned installation in a wooden frame). So knocked the pegs, stretched the twine, began to dig.

Start of land

Part of the side is decided to leave outside, because the depth of the pit is 1 meter. The bottom of the sand layer is about 15 cm, everything is flooded with water to compact the substrate.

Sand fused, flooded water

While the water leaves, the sand dries out, from a 2,5 cm thick boards, shields are knocked on the size of the pit. The frame is used as a frame of 50 * 50 mm, it is paved at the top of the shields. To this brus, the top edge of the plastic bowl was attached.

Assembling shields

All boards are processed by an antiseptic for direct contact with the soil. The manufacturer promises 10 years without rot ...

Shields are installed in the pit

When they collected and secured all the walls inside inserted a bowl. The bottom fell tightly, the height was calculated correctly.

Inserted plastic bowl inside

On the perimeter of the pool should be a side of reinforced concrete. To tightly connect the bowl with concrete, corners are installed around the perimeter. They are attached to Brusa and the edge of the bowl through, stainless bolts and nuts.

Fresh Corners around the Pool Perimeter

In order for the plastic, the edges will not "walked" the edges grabcin.

Clamp fixes the position of the bowl when mounting the corners

Armature is attached to the installed corners. Used 15 mm, lay 4 bar: two top and bottom. Knitted special wire.

Strengthening the reinforcing belt for the side

On the perimeter is a formwork. First under the reinforcement, sand is messenger, because the outdoor shields are installed. From the inside the boards are froghed with a dense film so that it was easier to remove the formwork. Also installed mortgages: overflow pipes. They will be withdrawn beyond the basin and will protect the bowl of overflow.

Formwork and drain pipe

Before the fill of the concrete began to flood the water cup. It is necessary that concrete does not give it. At the same time, the remaining bases between the walls of the bowl and the platform gaps were slumped by sand. It turns out that the bowl is fixed in the best position. When it is almost filled, the concrete was poured into the formwork, treated with a vibrator to increase the fortress and homogeneity.

Concrete flood

Four days a formwork was removed. The side was 40 cm in width and as much in height. Next, begin to prepare the basis for finishing the adjacent territory.

On the one hand, I had to squeeze the sand, on the other to remove a little soil

Since the plot is a bit with a bias, on the one hand I had to remove the ground. On the perimeter, the sand was added and tamped. On the aligned surface, Ruberoid is rolled.

Ruberoid is laid on the aligned ground around the pool

It is added on it another layer of sand, which was stacked by paving slabs. The slots between the tiles are also wanted by sand.

On top of the rubberoid still sand

Paving slabs are laid

So that the foliage does not fall into the pool, the garbage and other contaminants did not fall, the greenhouse was purchased from polycarbonate, assembled and installed as a shelter for the pool. It turned out that it is very convenient: warm and light.

Outside the greenhouse is set))

Only it is necessary to fix it firmly, a strong wind moved off. I had to adjust. The pool at the cottage is operated in winter, but only after the bath is cut down)). For winter, empty bottles with a swirling lid thrown into the water. When freezing water, they serve as a damper, taking most of the load from ice on themselves.

This is a swimming pool at the cottage made by your own hands.

And until late autumn bathe and just so, only installed water heating system so that it was more or less comfortable.

Economy option: Banner pool

If you need an express version of the basin with minimal costs - you can do the tight film. For example, an old banner. The fabric is used dense for them, and it is possible to buy an old penny in the agency. If you need a swimming pool in the garden - this is the material: the cost is minimal.

So, armed with a banner, digging the pit, which is much less than the canvas in size.

Expand the banner in the pit

In the dumped pit, we put the film, spread. For the sample, a small size of the pit was died: suddenly would not like it. Since banners, nevertheless, laid two. The second also tried to straighten.

The second banner was suspected from above

To the edges of the film by the wind did not bloom, they were pressed with bricks and dropped the hose to recruit water.

Throw the hose

While the water was recaptured, a little land was embroidered around the "bowl" under the film, sofaming the softer. They were laid with bricks.

While water was gained, edges pressed bricks

They left the "swimming pool" to bask in the sun. After three hours spent tests. I liked the result. It was decided to expand the "swimming" part.

Pool tests in the country

This, of course, is not a super option, but you can refresh yourself. Time to "Construction" took 2 hours. The main thing is to dig up the pit. And further is the case of several tens of minutes. The photo below the same idea implemented on a larger scale. The film was bought for pools and twisted two pieces - to make a more voluminous "sea".
