Building a Swimming Pool in your back garden using structural foam resin panels is a relatively new concept that is rust, corrosion and rot proof. Using resin panels is one of the quickest and easiest ways of building a swimming pool as the panels simply bolt together after they have been secured into the ground.

The pool panels are light and easy to handle compared with other traditional products and do not absorb water. Structural foam in simple terms is a very hard, solid core material that has very high strength to weight ratio. With these advantages in mind, combined with the product’s versatility, it is easy to see why structural foam has replaced base materials in many industries.

After you or a local tradesman have excavated the ground to the required dimensions, the Polymer Panels are erected around the pool perimeter on a 400mm wide (16 inch ) shelf. After confirming the pool shelf is level, the pool panels and support braces are assembled in position, with steel locating stakes driven into the soil to line up and finally locate the walls correctly. Concrete is then poured between the back of the panel and the overdig to a depth of 100mm (4 inch) to permanently fix them in place. The internal base of the pool is then screeded with a 50mm (2 inch) layer sand/cement to the specified profiles. Polyethylene and felt underlay’s which are available as optional extras for the wall and floor respectively can then be laid to help disguise any slight imperfections, as well as protect the liner and help insulate the pool. A vinyl liner is then installed internally to provide an attractive and watertight finish. As the pool fills with water, the pool is backfilled with pea shingle to within 15Omm (6 inch) of the top of the wall. A 150mm x 150mm (6 inch x 6 inch) reinforced ring beam is then constructed around the perimeter of the wall system. At this point any concrete anchorage pads for ladders, diving boards etc, are cast before the copings and surround paving can be laid.

You can buy various size and make pool panel kits from this website depending on what size and type of swimming pool you wish to build. You may also need to buy a panel and liner filtration and flow kit from us which contains all the plumbing and filtration equipment that you will need to complete your build.

Swimming Pool Location

Ideally the pool should be sited well away from trees to avoid leaf debris. Also bear in mind that hedges, trees,fences and walls may reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the pool area.

Other important points to consider are follows ;

I. Ensure that NO electrical cables, water pipes, gas pipes, sewage pipes, underground phone lines or other obstructions run under the proposed location of the pool.

2. The filter plant should be enclosed and sited as close to the pool as possible. This will protect it from the elements, help pump efficiency and reduce the cost of pipework. The filtration plant should be installed on a level base, ideally at water level (try to avoid installing your filtration plant more than 300mm ( 12 inch ) above water level), if this is not possible then no higher than the surrounding paving (this is to avoid difficulties when priming the pump).

3. Availability of water supply.

4. Availability of a suitable discharge point for the disposal of waste water used in the backwashing of the filter.

NOTE: local authorities do not normally permit the discharge of chemically treated water into their foul drains.

5. Proximity of changing facilities and toilets to the pool.

6 In the interests of safety, the access to the pool should be from the shallow end and we suggest that the pool area should be fenced off, to minimise the possibility of accidents occurring when the pool is unattended.

7. If the pool is to be heated, then the availability of an adequate oil, gas or electricity supply to the heating unit should be considered. Also the provision of an oil or gas tank if required. If a heat pump or electric heater is to be used, then the electrical supply should be checked to ensure it will accept the additional load.
