How to make a swimming pond in the garden Bashny.Net

Already in the process of building a house to its owners, it became clear that next to him there should be a pond. And now, after four years of this dream, the owners were able to make with family members and his friends.
 

At first the theory





To find a place to bath on a small plot of land and also build it yourself — the possibility of implementing such a project clearly demonstrated in our material.

Before the construction of the couple a very detailed study of this issue, having studied a lot of literature and information available on the Internet.

After rigorous analysis of all aspects and calculations of homeowners who opted for a classic version of the reservoir geometrically correct form. The basis for this decision was, in particular, the fact that as a new landscape element artificial pond due to its rectangular shape will fit harmoniously into the overall ensemble, forming an architectural unity with the straight lines of buildings of the residential home. This condition is for homeowners to be essential.

Important for them was that the pool provider offered assistance in the form of advice on technical issues. But for novice builders, it was very important not only timely delivery of materials to the installation site, but any help in the construction of the object.

The world

 

Spring launched the first phase of works on the laying of the swimming pond on the plot of 750 m2. Markup the future of the baths, as well as with the task of removing a layer of turf owners do for themselves. But then had to bring in specialists, because the excavation was done with excavator. To dig a pond the size of 6.5 x 3 m and depth of 1.25 metres, with the earthworks around the perimeter, I had to remove about 40 m3 of soil.



The installation of the side walls of the baths of prefabricated elements with tongue-and-groove connection was also performed on their own. Before you lay film on the surface, the owners received from professionals important tip: if you cover the bottom of a deep zone with slabs of hard foam, subsequently it will be possible to avoid significant losses of the heat passing into the ground.



To put a film thickness of 1.2 mm invited friends and neighbors. And the more hands, the better the result. In the end, to help spread the film came ten people. And one more practical observation: if you choose for this line of work solar day, everything goes easier and more fun because the film is olive-green, the heat of the sun, becomes more elastic.

How it's done

 

The form of a box inside skimmer: if the film is tightly adjacent to the hole, the water absorbed and the losses through the section of the coarse filter is freed of large debris (leaves, insects, etc.). Then for circulation pipeline, water flows back into the pond.



A man-made pond

 

After the soil is again filled up, pour the gravel and lay the drain hose, then move-to-connect filtration plant. Use the so-called skimmer filter to effectively clean the surface of the water from the leaves, flower petals, different COP.





All technical equipment is compactly placed under the wooden walkways. Flooring for them, as for the adjacent terraces, made of durable, resistant wood bangkirai.



Material for a wooden frame, enclosing the bathing area, served as untreated wood is Douglas fir, which in the absence of air does not rot under water. Due to this the frame of the bath was visually elevated over the rest of the water area of the pond. This is called single-chamber system, which is based on a complete water system. The regeneration zone and swimming area are located under a single surface, and only due to excessive pressurization creates a barrier that separates them from each other.

Milestones

 

1. At some distance from the terrace indicate contour plot, which will be removed the turf.

2. Now excavate. Pit due to the rectangular shape pond shape is stepped.

3. For the walls of the pond using panels of sandwich type with thickness of 6 cm, with tongue-and-groove connection.
 



4. With the aim of increasing rigidity and to facilitate installation of the film prepared wooden struts.

5. Quite thick and therefore very heavy film can be the best way to spread and level.

6. The hardest part of the job is executed — the film neatly and placed precisely on the form of a bowl.

7. The pool is filled with water, and then around the perimeter of the boundary region is covered with soil and compacted.



8. The waterproofing membrane is spread on the ground, reach the skimmer box and connect it.

9. On top of the film stack non-woven fabric, and then to start the construction of the wooden frame of the bowl.

10. Outside the frame is placed a trough filled with gravel. Then navigate...

11. ...the drain pipe of the filtration loop that is required to ensure a constant circulation of water.

12. It covers the gravel layer. Later, all this will be under a single water surface.

13. Only the outline of the wooden frame remains clearly visible, which is typical for single-chamber system.



14. Where once there had been only lawn, is now built a little raised and the protruding terrace.

15. The boardwalk is laid along the entire front of the house. Before him the box of the skimmer.

16. Steel gangway ladder elegantly closes the box, leaving the access free.

17. For convenience in the approach to the pond on the gravel pad is laid a broad stone slabs.

Plants for shallow-water site (area regeneration) should be selected on the advice of experts — landscape designers and landscapers. Old hobby of the hostess botany have helped in selecting the most suitable for pond plants, besides this activity brought her great pleasure. About 100 different types, finding their place in an artificial reservoir that provides water purification without the use of chemicals.



The construction process of the swimming pond was continued during the month. After completion of all work we have a wonderful opportunity to relaxation: now, straight from a hot sauna, which is equipped on the first floor, can be, today along with pleasure to dive into the cool water.

All the arrangements for the care of the pond, apart from the purification and filtration plant and pruning withered branches of plants are confined to collecting leaves from the surface of the water or from the bottom of the bath. Very happy homeowners say that the old lawn of the same area demanded from them much more effort and time, respectively, and therefore to admire the garden didn't really happen.
