This video (combined with your other install videos) has been an absolute life saver for me. It’s by far the best video on RUclips about this topic. Trust me, I’ve tried to watch EVERY single video on this topic! The knowledge gained from this video as well as some other tips from a few other installers has been the mental edge to have a crack so thankyou!! I’m installing my pool today so wish me luck! Still $hittin@ myself that it’s not going to be perfect however….
Hi Ewan. Thanks for the feedback. We're stoked the videos have been a big help. Good luck with your install. We are total pool nuffy's and get our jollies from pool install photos so feel free to share
How did you go with your build
Another great video again with a H1 site if your pool has a swim out do you excavate all the way down to the level of the deep end and back fill with non reactive or stabilized material and in the same manner as the steps ?
Our pleasure. Glad you enjoy them. Most installers will excavate fully and backfill with a cement stabilised material.
Thank you for these great videos! You mention at 1m:18s that the bedding material is not compacted. Do you not plate compact it?
There isn't a requirement in the Australian Standards to compact the bedding and most installers don't. Even with compaction, the weight of the pool will compress the bedding and alter the level of the pool.
Will you be doing a video on bond beam construction?
Hi Kevin. A bond beam video is further down the list at the moment. Is there anything in particular you are wanting to see/ know in a bond beam video?
Hey guys awesome video, couldn’t be more informative. We recently had our 7x3m fibreglass pool installed and are awaiting bond beam. However the top of the pool is dead straight against a string but underwater it looks like the walls are bowing “out” due to poor backfill compaction / using a water cart over zealously. Is it possible that this can be rectified without draining the pool by using water and compaction ? They did use a sand and cement mix
Cheers great video again
Hi Mark. We're glad the video was helpful! Sorry to hear your pool walls are out of whack. If the walls are bowing out, it might be possible to rectify this without draining the pool. So the short answer is it is a definite maybe. It will depend on where the bows are and their extent which will need an onsite assessment by a installation professional to determine. Hopefully it is fairly easy to rectify. All the best.
Can you give a link to that laser leveler? Thanks great video
Thanks for your comments. Have a look at Kennard Hire's website. They have plenty to choose from. Cheers.
Hi there. We have recently had a fiberglass pool installed, but the installer has not backfilled properly underneath the stairs at both ends of the pool, resulting in a drumming/ hollowness under the stairs. Is it at all possible to rectify at this point, keeping in mind pavers have been layed?
Hi Josh. The backfill used should have been cement stabilised. If so, it will have hardened and may prevent additional backfill from getting underneath the steps while the pool is in place. The starting point would be to try and resolve the issue without lifting the pool out which is certainly possible to do. All the best.
