inground pool conversion

Postby betsyglasser » Mon 12 Dec, 2016 14:51

interested in purchasing property with existing rectangular shaped inground pool -- hoping to eliminate pool but do not where to start -- would like to lay a foundation or slab and add an addition -- does the entire pool need to come out or can it be broken up to use on bottom before laying a foundation? -- would better alternative be to remove and fill and let settle before laying new slab/foundation? -- thoughts would be appreciated before I get myself in over my head so to speak --

The single piece fiberglass pools (one piece / monoblock) are the ones who comes to the mind at first when the subject is fast and easy pool assembling for villas especially in the U.S.A. and Europe. Just because there is no grouting space, there is no problem of dirt collection, so this is a big plus when compared to the other pool types. These pools are also preferred because of their smooth surfaces which is much easier to clean and hygenic than any other pool. Pease contact me from meric.karalar@fipol.com.tr

You really need to to get a structural engineer to check out what you can do. If you can keep it under the extension you would have a large storage area
