Frequently Asked Questions And Answers Question:Can you provide an overview of how the pool from your plans is built?Answer:The pool walls are made using pressure treated plywood, fastened to a rigid pressure treated frame that is in turn fastened to 4" by 4" pressure treated posts, cemented into the ground. The pool floor is made using a wet portland cement and sand mixture that is trowled onto the ground. The liner is then inserted into the coping and all wrinkles removed using vacums. The pool is then filled with water. The weight of the water compacts the floor which hardens in a couple days. The coping is made from aluminum and is available for pools with either a concrete or wood deck surround. The construction techniques specified in this plan can be used for any size pool. All that changes are the wall dimensions, and the bottom profile. The advantage of this type of installation is primarily economic, since all of the construction can be done by average do-it-yourselfers. This plan is an exact replica of a commercial in-ground version, except instead of using custom galvanized steel walls and lots of concrete, pressure treated lumber is used instead. The result is a beautiful, professional looking pool that can typically be built for 1/3 to 1/2 of what a commercial installation would cost. Question:Can you supply pool components necessary to build the pool specified in your plan?Answer:DEB Design prefers that you work with a local pool dealer but in the event this does not work out, the supplier off all materials for the plan can be found here: http://www.explorewisconsin.com/handhpoolsandspas/index.htmlQuestion:Am I correct in assuming that this pool is self supporting and could be built entirely above grade?Answer:Yes, the pool walls can be self-supporting, and do not need to be back filled. I would recommend though, some additional support at the base of the pool wall. This will insure that the water pressure does not force the walls away from the bottom, horizontally. If you are able to build above grade, you will save a bit on excavating costs and the project will be easier to construct. The walls are 40" high, and if braced, could sit entirely out of the ground. Also, if you are planning to add a deck, later, the bracing could be built to support joist members for the deck.Question:How long did it take you to build the pool?Answer:I started the plan pool at the beginning of June, and finished it in mid-July,  Most of that time was spent waiting on a backhoe to dig the deep end of the pool. I discuss this and similiar issues in the plan. I think one should plan on a month of weekends, and week nights to complete it, at an enjoyable pace.Question: Do you use pressure treated plywood? If it is not pressure treated won't it eventually rot in the ground?Answer:Yes, you are absolutely correct. The use of pressure treated lumber is critical.Question:How many years will the pool last??Answer:I would expect it to last as the lumber manufacturer claims, the lumber will last, which is usually 15 - 40 years.Question:How high above grade do the pool walls have to be before we have to reinforce the bottom of the pool walls?Answer:I'd brace any wall posts that project more than 20 inches out of the ground. Not only does it provide structural support against the lateral force of the water, but it also helps maintain straight walls and liner coping, one of the most visible elements of a pool. Question: How difficult is it to add the DEB Design pool heater to the existing house hot water boiler?Answer:For someone with average plumbing skills, easy. If you can build the exchanger, (swim/spa heat exchanger plan) you should have no problem installing it. A plumbing schematic is provided in the exchanger plan.Question:Can you give me our opinion the pros and cons between building with wood versus cement blocks and which would be the better choice? Answer: The pressure treated design should only be used in areas with good grainage, such as sand country where I live. The wood pool design has preformed great for 12 years so far. Next year it will be due for a new liner which will permit a partial inspection of the wall system. The wood version is less labor intensive and mor economical to build. The potential for the wood to warp can affect the straightness of the liner coping which is a very visible element of the pool. The plan pool has a few slight variances in the coping but is not readily noticeable to other people. The cement block pool was built for areas with denser soil or poor drainage. Though it is more expensive and labor intensive to build, it is obviously more robust. Question: I noticed that both of your sets of plans were for diving pools - pools with deep ends. Can you adapt your plans to a non-diving pool such as one with a 4-1/2 constant depth? Answer: Though most pool walls are approximately 40" high I think you could easily build a pool with the pool wall height you indicated. The pool wall design will be dictated by the liner manufacturer's capabilities so you'd need to check to see if a liner can be manufactured to your desired spec's. Question: Is this pool basically square on walls & bottom corners & foam coping used to round-out & then liner applied Answer: Yes, the plan is square, no; foam is not used to fill out the corners. Question: Are the plans for smaller in ground pools available or needed (15' x 24')? Answer: No not specifically, but once you understand the construction techniques and NSPI (National Spa and Pool Institute) standards, you could customize the plans to suit your needs.
