Mark out the Area
a)
The next following steps will show you how to mark out the
area you need for the oval pool. This marked area will be larger
than the pool size itself, but this space is needed. Find a site
where the ground is stable, level and well drained. Once you
have selected your site, determine where the middle of your
pool will be.
b)
Drive a peg into the ground at the centre point.
(Image 2.4)
c)
Now you must make the round ends that will be the oval
part. In order to do so, you will have to determine the center
of the radius on each side and drive a peg into the ground.
(Image 2.5)
d)
Using a length of string tied between the peg and a can of
spray paint mark the circles on the ground.
(Image 2.6)
e)
Once the center has been established, and the measurement
of the pool itself has been determinded, you must now deter-
mine the outer limits of the perimeter of your pool. Add 12”
(30 cm) outside this measurement to determine pool perimeter.
