We decided upon an 8m by 4m level floor pool with steps in one corner and wall lights diagonally opposite to each other.
Whilst not having a deep end, the advantages of better in-pool game play and enhanced safety for children outweigh the disadvatages.
Before the pool structure was built we first needed to create an enclosure and this was achieved by using the lower wall.
This first picture shows the wall from the opposite end of the plot with the pool to be situated at the far end.
Earth removal then followed. The next picture clearly demonstrates the size of the wall and scope of the project.
Here is the pool structure before filling, early August 2008.
The contractor kindly supplied some astroturf to soften the bare concrete surround.
This is the pool now, August 2009. End and rear wall (complete with lights) and pool paving completed.
