Constructing an above ground swimming pool is a task that any semi-competent DIY person can carry out over the course of a weekend.
Whilst it is much easier and faster to install one of these types of pools with a friend or two, most of these kits can be installed by just one person.
You will need the following to build one: A spirit level to ensure the ground you are installing it on is perfectly level.
A spade to take up the turf on the area you are going to place the swimming pool on, and a wheel barrow to take away the turf.
Sufficient sand to put a two inch layer down on the proposed site, in order to iron out any minor deficiencies in the ground.
A rake will also be needed for this task.
You will need spanners to bolt the panels together.
You may also need a screwdriver for this task as well.
If you have cordless screwdriver with a bolt attachment on it, then this task will be made much faster, particularly if you have a spare pair of hands to help you out holding the panels together.
First of all you will need to choose an area that you can easily get power and water to.
You will also need to choose an area that you can if you need to, easily drain the pool.
So avoid placing one at the bottom of your garden for obvious reasons.
Also avoid placing an above ground swimming pool below a tree.
Whilst this may seem to give you privacy and shade from the Sun, it will mean that you are constantly battling with leaves.
You need to ensure that the ground is perfectly flat and level, and always dig down to make it level rather than building it up with soil, as doing this can result in the pool slumping.
It needs to be level as due to the large weight of the water, even the slightest slope and result in the side of your pool collapsing due to unexpected loading.
Following these simple tips should see you above ground swimming pool installed easily.
