How are pools made?
Almost all of the underground pools are made underground place,
which are sometimes could.
The cheapest and most ecologically sound way to build a swimming pool
is simply to hollow a hole in the ground. You can make your pool as shallow or
as deep as you want, but the key is to make sure the sides slope: Otherwise the
soil will cave in. The ratio should be a 1-foot vertical drop for every 3
horizontal feet. "It's not a bathtub effect, but more like a soup bowl," says
Tom Zingaro, partner with Denver-based Blue Lotus Designs, a pool-and
pond-architecture company. One of the main reasons traditional swimming pools
are constructed with a steel framework is to ensure the walls stay vertical and
perpendicular to the bottom surface of the pool. Construct a pool with sloping
sides and you'll eliminate the need for any steel
reinforcement.
