1. Measures against Damage to the External Shell of the Pool.
Protect the pool shell around the perimeter against damage in a suitable manner, e.g. by applying a mirelon
tape, which protects the outer shell from damage by sharp objects and, at the same time, allows for dilatation.
Measure the height at which you will need the cover of the skimmer; its height can be adjusted manually by
extending it by up to 30 mm.
2. Gravel Underlay for Final Surface
Lay the aggregate (grain size 16 to 32 mm) under the concrete plate on which the final surface around the
pool will be created.The visible upper part must be connected to the final surface by means of commonly
available permanently elastic sealants (ideally, the filled space between the final surface and the pool outer
wall is at least 5 mm).
3. Making the Base Plate for the Final Surface
The height of the base plate depends on the height of the final surface (paving, stone carpet,…) and its levelling.
This plate should be made of monolithic concrete reinforced with rebar mesh (100 x 100 x 6 mm). The height
of the base plate depends on the height of the type of paving that is chosen. Make the final base plate for the
paving; any irregularities can be levelled with a trowel. At this stage, it is also necessary to install the anchoring
elements (plastic footing) for the pool steps and the junction boxes for pool lights, if these are included in
the contract for work. The final surface for the enclosure, if any, must be firmly connected to the concrete
base. Paving is the most suitable option of the final surface. It must be firmly attached to the concrete base
(must not be supported by sand or gravel). Other suitable types of final layers include all solid materials that
are designated for the purpose, to be firmly attached to the concrete base. The visible (final) upper part must
be connected by means of commonly available permanently elastic sealants to the outer coat of the pool
(ideally, the filled space between the final surface and the pool outer wall is at least 5 mm).
