So, the decision to build the pool was made completely and irrevocably, and now it remains only to determine the material for its construction. This is where the main difficulties begin, because it is quite difficult to decide on hundreds of types of building materials and device methods. It is necessary to carefully calculate the costs and choose the option of pool equipment that would not be too expensive and also be durable and wear-resistant. Dreams? Not at all! Such materials really exist and it is a pleasure to build a pool out of them.

What is composite material and how to use it to build a pool

A completely new type of building material is composite, in fact it is a combination of various components of the building mixture formed on a reinforced frame. For the production of the matrix, which is actually the link in the product, various ingredients are used, for example, carbon fiber, basalt fiber or glass fiber.

Products made of composite materials are highly resistant to mechanical damage, abrasion, chips and cracks. They also perfectly retain moisture without swelling and without changing shape from constant contact with water. That is why composite pools are well-deserved and it is easiest to install exactly this version of the artificial reservoir on the site. Especially for artificial ponds, ready-made bowls for the pool are sold, which can only be installed.

Preparing to install a composite pool

Before you begin any preparatory steps, you must purchase a ready-made composite bowl for the pool, which will be installed on the site. The size, shape and depth of these products are very diverse and therefore, when choosing, you need to be guided exclusively by personal taste and preferences. Only after the bowl is purchased can we start preparing the foundation pit and installing composite pools.

First you need to choose a place for installation, where the composite pool will be located with your own hands. This should be a section of the yard where the pool will not block anything from the sun. If you plan to build an artificial reservoir near the house, you must at least maintain a distance equal to its height. This eliminates the shadow, which does not contribute to the heating of water in the bowl. It is also necessary to take into account the location of the trees, since the composite pool is not a seasonal building, but a reservoir designed to serve faithfully for years. Therefore, it is highly desirable to install it away from trees that can destroy the integrity of the bowl with growing roots.

After choosing a place, digging a pit directly. The dimensions of the pit for the pool should correspond to the dimensions of the bowl and even slightly exceed them.

The bottom is carefully leveled and a layer of rubble is poured onto it, as drainage. After this, it is necessary to prepare all the communication systems through which will occur:

•   Power supply;
•   Water supply;
•   Draining.

Installing the composite pool bowl

After the foundation pit is prepared and the bottom is covered with gravel, it is the turn to place the composite bowl. I would like to say right away that it will not be possible to lower the volume bowl into the pit with one’s own hand. To do this, it is better to use a crane that will install the tank as accurately as possible.

After the composite pool has been installed, it is necessary to install all the components for it to fill up the voids between the outer walls of the bowl and the edges of the pit. For this, you can use ordinary river sand, and in case of too close a location of groundwater, even crushed stone. The gaps are carefully rammed and prepared for the construction of the beach area.

The device of the beach area along the edges of the composite pool

Composite pools for a summer residence will lose half their attractiveness if their shores are not properly designed. Most often, for the arrangement of the beach area, ordinary cement is used for pouring certain areas and laying facings on them. This option plays another role - strengthening the banks of the water body and creating an additional fixing layer, which will help to reliably strengthen the bowl in the pit.

To fill the solution, it is necessary to dig grooves wider than 70 cm around the pool (the width directly depends on what size the relaxation area is needed) and a depth of 25 cm.

After the ditches are ready, a thin layer of rubble is poured onto their bottom and the concrete base for the beach area is poured. After the solution has completely dried, the surface is tiled. It is advisable to choose a tile that has an anti-slip effect to prevent possible injuries.

Overview of manufacturers of composite bowls for pools

In principle, it is not difficult to choose a container for an artificial reservoir, the main thing is to determine the parameters in advance and know what exactly you are looking for. A review of manufacturers and composite pools, reviews of which you read, are also useful.

Composite pools Franmer. Produced in hundreds of different options. They vary in depth, width and color of the bowl. They are made of fiberglass based on polyester resins deposited on a reinforcing cage. A smooth protective layer also acts as a decorative function, creating a perfectly smooth, color coating.

Composite pools of San Juan Pools. The homeland of these pools is the United States. It was there that the first products of this company appeared in 1958. Recently, artificial reservoirs San Juan Pools have become available in Russia and immediately occupying their niche. Especially for local climatic conditions, some changes were made to the production and the bowls are now made with the addition of carbon fiber reinforcing, which strengthens the strength and prevents cracking of the pool. Thanks to the special 3D colors of the bowl, the water in such reservoirs looks like sparkling glass, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow under the sun.

So we can say with confidence that these are the best composite pools, which can also be ordered at low prices.
