THE FOUNDATION
The foundation is the most important step of the installation of your pool. It will
support the pool for many years. It’s important to be thorough and take your time.
Flatness and compactness of your foundation will have a decisive eect on the
longevity of your swimming pool.
STEP 1
Determine the center point of the pool and insert a peg at that point (after having
considered all municipal laws and your existing installations : deck, patio etc.
Do not remove the peg until step 12.
STEP 4
Level the inside of your circle using the gardening rake and then atten the
surface with the 2” x 4” plank until it is smooth. Do not add soil, use the rake to
atten and even the surface. Compact the area 2 times with a mechanical compactor .
Start from center toward the outsides in a circular way.
STEP 5
Setting a 2” x 4“ straight plank on the ground, check your ground level by placing a
linear level on the plank and make sure the ground forming the rim of the basin is
perfectly level. Check every 3’’ to 5” (using an imaginary grid), the bigger your pool,
the more measurements you will have to take. Make sure there are no debris,
pebbles, branches, roots on your foundation. You can use a laser level in order to be
certain that your ground is at.
STEP 6
Drop piles of rock dust on the perimeter (every 4’) that you will then spread out.
Also add a few piles in the center of the pool and spread out to cover entirely.
STEP 2
Dene the sod area to be removed by attaching the end of the tape measure (or
rope) to the center peg, measure the radius of the pool + 12’’ (30 cm), then trace the
outside perimeter on the ground using spray paint.
STEP 3
Remove the sod, branches, rocks, pebbles and weeds by using a mechanical tool
or shovel.
