With any swimming pool installation your backyard will become a construction zone. Whether
it is a concrete, vinyl liner or fiberglass swimming pool there is going to be construction in
your backyard.
For any in-ground swimming pool installation dirt is going to need to be dug out of the ground
and removed so that the swimming pool can be installed. This will be the case for any type of
swimming pool structure. In order to remove the dirt excavation equipment will be used such
as an excavator, backhoe, bobcat or something similar.
Unless the dirt is to be left on site for retaining, the dirt will need to be loaded into a truck and
hauled away. All of this backwards and forwards of excavating the dirt and removing the dirt
away is going to cause a little short term damage to your lawn..
The good thing with a fiberglass swimming pool is that this process is very quick. Most
excavations for a fiberglass swimming pool can be done in as little as a day. The fiberglass
swimming pool is then lowered into position in the excavated hole and then backfilled whilst
water is being added on day two. Generally after day two your lawn can be start to recover
from the excavation and fiberglass swimming pool installation.
From that point for a fiberglass swimming pool the concrete bond beam and any decking or
paving will be laid and from that point it is down to the final landscaping that you wish to
undertake. We have seen fiberglass swimming pools installed and fully operational in as little
as 3 days and in general are completed from start to finish within 10 days subject to the amount
of decking or paving to be completed and weather. Fencing should be scheduled to be done as
soon as the deck is complete.
Unfortunately with concrete swimming pools this process takes a much longer period of time
as the swimming pool needs to be excavated, steel needs to be fixed into position, concrete
needs to be sprayed and then the finish to the swimming pool applied. Once that is complete
the decking and paving can be undertaken then landscaping. This will generally take 2 to 3
months.
The good thing is that once the swimming pool is installed and your lawn has recovered you
and your family will have many years of fun and enjoyment in your new Leisure Pools
composite fiberglass swimming pool!
Be Prepared for your pool installation.
