B. PREPARE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR POOL
1. 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.

c. Once the center has been established, you must
now determine the outer limits of the perimeter of
your pool. Add 12” (30 cm) inside this measurement
to determine pool perimeter.

d. 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.

e. Using a length of string tied between the peg and a
can of spray paint mark the circles on the ground.
