Above Ground Concrete Block Swimming Pool

First establish the size of the swimming pool and the location.

Above ground concrete block swimming pool.

This is just one method for building a concrete swimming pool. The buildblock icf swimming pool engineering manual is intended to provide prescriptive requirements for the design of buildblock building systems icf in ground and above ground reinforced concrete swimming pools. Like a semi inground pool an above ground concrete pool needs retaining walls to sustain the pressure from the thousands of gallons of water. For an 8 block wall pool we want to mark the location 12 larger on all walls.

We cut the sides out of the base row of block to let rebar and concrete connect the wall and pool floor. We used lintel block normally used over doors and windows to wrap rebar around the pool every 8 inches horizontally. These areas have to be dug up and or chipped away into a flat area and then sand or limestone is brought in for leveling. It provides the wall footing and reinforcement designs for building above ground and in ground icf pools cisterns and water basins.

Retaining walls can get pricy 7 000 to 20 000 each so that s where most of the added cost comes in. Set stakes at the 4 corners of the dig area cross measure to ensure the dimensions are square. A concrete barrier between the liner and this.
