1. SWIMMING POOL CONSTRUCTION Building Material and Construction- IV By: Zeeshan Asim

2. SWIMMING POOL A  swimming pool ,  swimming bath ,  wading pool , or  paddling pool  is a container filled with water to enable  swimming. Pools can be sunk into the ground or built above ground as a freestanding construction. In-ground pools are most commonly constructed from materials such as concrete, natural stone, metal, plastic or fiberglass, and can be of a custom size and shape or built to a standardized size. T he largest of which is the Olympic-size swimming pool . 25m by 50m

3. Construction Step by Step 1. Design the pool You'll want to start by designing the pool that you want to build. Will it be round? Square? How deep will it be? What color do you want the pool to be? The more complex the design, the higher the cost.

4. 2. Excavate the area  D ig out the area where the pool will go from a Crain or by manual means. Depends on time, cost, type of site and availability.

5. Demarcation of area Excavation

6. 3. Grade the ground You'll want to even out the ground as much as possible along what will become the bottom of the pool. This will make building the walls and putting in the floor much easier.

7. 4. Frame the walls   After excavation and the land graded, the next step is to start putting in the walls. Start by framing the walls with metal bars. Make sure to keep the walls even and in line with each other .

8. 5. Put in the plumbing You will need to create a supply and filtration system which meets the codes and requirement of your site.

9. 6. Run the electricity The electric wires are installed at this stage of the construction. A keen consideration to be taken care of its water proofing.

10. 7. Pour the floor   With the plumbing and electricity roughed in, we can start building the actual walls and floor by pouring the cement, grading and smoothing once it is poured . Make sure to pay attention to angle of the floor if making a pool with depth variation.

11. 8. Build the walls   With the floor in place, we can start building the walls. These are often made from poured concrete.

12. 9. Finish the walls   Pools need some type of moisture barrier, to keep all of the water from simply leeching out.

13. 10. Fill in the outside   Fill in the outside area behind the walls of the pool. This filling material will vary depending on where it is being constructed.

14. 11. Fill the pool   With the pool complete, you'll just need to fill it up! 

15. IT’s Done!
