. Plan Ahead
Do not locate your pool near or on any of the following
(Images 2.3.1 to 2.3.3) :
• Overhanging tree branches.
• Overhead wires and clotheslines.
• Buried pipes and wires. Contact your gas, electric and tel-
ephone utilities to find buried pipes and wires before you dig.
• Areas with poor drainage.
• Grass, stones and roots. Grass will rot underneath the pool
liner, and stones and roots will damage the pool liner.
• Areas recently treated with oil-based weed killers, chemicals
or fertilizers.
• Will you be adding an adjacent deck later? Be sure to leave
room.
• Will you be using pool accessories or other appliances that
need electricity or gas? Locate your pool near these services
or plan to have them installed later by a licensed contractor.
When locating the centre of the pool, be sure to take into
consideration any structures (deck, patio, house) or relevant
items (change rooms, gazebo, etc.) that the pool may need
to line up with and ensure that the pool is in the most visual
pleasing location for your property.
