Step One

Excavation for a vinyl-lined pool is a job for an experienced backhoe operator. Normally, the side excavation is approximately two feet beyond the finished pool perimeter to allow for assembly and a concrete footing to be installed. Our brace system is 35″ wide and placed every 4″ around the perimeter of the pool walls and extends from the footing to the sidewalks.

Step Two

The second step includes assembly of the polymer panels and stairs, coping receptor, skimmer and inlets, as well as suction and return plumbing.

Step Three

Most builders pour the concrete decking once all of Step 2 is completed, but in some cases and with certain water table situations, the liner will be installed before the decking is poured. The pool structure is strong enough to allow installation to proceed in either manner.
