I recently purchased a home and was wondering how do pool builders go about building pools when the access to the yard is tight, meaning it does not fit a truck. My yard is big I was just wondering if I will ever be able to build a pool there.

Thanks

Just another reason why people shouldn’t wait till spring time to get their pool build. Thanks for the article info!

Concrete pools are the way to go, especially if you want something that is going to last longer. I live in Florida and the weather would tear up fiberglass pools or anything weaker than concrete. Also take advantage of fiber reinforcement.

My husband & I are interested in a home that has pool problems. We are willing to repair the pool, but we dont want to invest too much in the repair. The pool is a concrete pool and approx. 10ft on the deepest level. We noticed it is lifted on the deep end and broken decking all around. We have not noticed any cracks but is currently full of stagnant water. Also if this is something we can repair we would like to change the depth to 5.5 feet instead of 10. How can we repair the floating pool and what is the best way to change the depth of a pool? Please provide me with some insight. I would greatly appreciate it.

We recommend the concrete/gunite pools for commercial applications

For residential pools i always recommend vinly liner or fiberglass pools instead of concrete pool. It a lot less maintenance.

Bev, your problem is an easy one, 1st you don’t have an automatic overflow, if you did you pool your pool would be leaking. 2nd why can’t you get the builder to come back and fix it 3rd you just need a plumber to stop the hammer, he can put an arrester at your meter to stop it. And last I would get rid of it myself, because after the plumber stops the hammer, one day,again, one day it is going to fail when your on 2 weeks holiday and flood your home next door and down the road. What wrong with filling from your hose, you will have a better idea how much it’s useing.GW from Australia

Hey,gertsy where you live how much warranty does a house builder have to have
on the foundations of your home, think about it. It’s all to do will the licenseing
laws of where you live, 15 years on f/glass,well they can say what they like but where I live it is only 7 years and thats it, nobody is there to help you after that,exept if you want to take them to court and that another lesson in $ thrown away. But contact your local authorities and see if 15 years could be upheld, I very much doubt it sorry. GW from Australia. ps if they go out of business can you still claim any warranty.

OH! Judy what have you done to yourself. A pro would not charge anything until he
proved to you and himself that the leak was found/stopped. But here is something
you can do for yourself, nothing,no more putting water in your pool,let the water drop as far as it wants to go, Voila, thats where the leak is. Keep in touch, I’ll help,
and we will work it out, it’s easy after 36 years, GW from Australia
