Inground Pools

Step 1:
Unlike typical pool installations, the excavation process involves detailed contouring to create the pool’s shape and internal features. In addition, the sides of the pool are gently sloped at 10- to 50-degree angles.

Step 2:
An initial layer of geo-textile material is placed over the excavation to protect the EDPM liner from potential damage caused by sharp objects.

Step 3:
An EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) waterproof liner is placed over the geo-textile sheet. Highly elastic, the EPDM liner conforms to
any change in ground movement without damage. The liners are made by Firestone using a heavy duty material typically used in retention ponds. The material can be stretched up to 300 percent.

Step 4:
Structural netting material is placed
over the EPDM liner.

Step 5:
A rough structural paving layer is
spread over the entire area by hand
using a mixture of natural granulated
quartz and non-toxic resin.

Step 6:
A second structural net is placed over the structural paving rough layer.

Step 7:
Granulated stone and non-toxic resins are blended and spread over the surface by hand. A final layer of resin is applied after a light sanding.
