Above Ground Pool Installation
Leveling the Ground
The first step is to level the ground where the pool is going to be. This is to ensure that the structural integrity of the pool is maintained. The contractor will use construction equipment to level off the site, and then cover the site with sand to give it a better grip on the pool.
Framing for the Walls, Decking, and Walkways
Framing is the process of putting together the walls of the pool and their supports. Framing is also used to support decks or walkways around the pool and create a space for the pool’s plumbing and electrical systems.
Vinyl Liner and Pool Equipment
Next, the vinyl liner is installed New vinyl liners are affordable and longer-lasting than previous liners. Once the liner has been properly installed, the pool is filled with water. The plumbing and electrical systems for the pool are also installed at this stage.
Custom Add-Ons
Of course, the best is saved for last. The final step in above ground pool installation is to add all of the custom features that will make your pool unique.
