PREPARATION OF GROUND
FOR FIGURE-8 SHAPED POOLS
The best substrate for your swimming pool is a
concrete slab (thickness approx. 20 cm), which must
be perfectly level (terraces, paved areas, etc. are
critical/not suitable, since they use slopes).
1.
Mark the floor space by driving two pegs in at
distance A (see table), and draw two circles
with a cord (length see table) and a marking
spray or flour bottle:
We recommend to install your Basic figure-8
swimming pool on a concrete slab with iron
reinforcement (thickness 20 cm). It is imperative that
the ground has a load bearing capacity of at least
1.2t (pool depth 1.20 m) or 1.0t (pool depth 0.90 m).
The ground must be perfectly level, with a maximum
deviation of 1 cm on the entire floor space of the
pool. With larger deviations, you risk the collapse of
the entire pool.
The diameter of the installation area for the pool
should be at least 20 cm larger than the pool size
(see cord length according to table). In case of an
inground installation, adapt the backfill of the wall (in
case of pressing soil, we recommend a 30 cm lean
concrete backfill). In this case, increase the cord
length by 10 cm (according to table).
It is mandatory to provide a trench with a width of
240 mm and a depth of 255 mm in the middle of the
concrete slab. This is where the steel slab will be
recessed and fixed with concrete later. (For length of
the trench, see table on next page.)
The steel girder is flush-mounted into the base
plate (approx. 22.5 cm, up to the height of the fixing
straps of the bottom rail connecting pieces).
