ut this equipment is, of course, meaningless and health
hazardous. Anybody planning to enrich its living space
with a pool must know that a pool is an expense and
an obligation. And, of course, a great pleasure that is
certainly worthwhile.
Building or Installation
Providing that you have the space and the means to
build your own outdoor or indoor pool, it is high time to
consider the kind of pool you want. In a wide span of
pools an amateur gets easily lost. Cheaper or more expensive,
prefabricated or built, panelled in UPVC liners
or tiles, with spillway or skimmer… At first sight all of this
looks very complicated, but every serious distributor will
unveil all the secrets, advantages and flaws of “this” or
“that” type to the buyer. Above all a pool must be selected
according to the type of construction, in other
words the material: concrete built pools are still the top
of the range option when it comes to quality, security
(especially when it comes to static security) but also the
price. It takes more money, more time and more accessories
to install them, and the most important thing is to
find quality contractors. Therefore, the first advice would
be: never build alone. Although it says in the Croatian
building law that a garden pool with 24 square meters in
ground-plan and 2 meters in depth maximum does not

require issuing a building permit, it is necessary to approach
the proper authorities with the main project and
verify whether any special authorisation is necessary for
building a pool. And when everything is legally taken
care of, the construction may begin: a very important
aspect is the rightful positioning of the pool, meaning
that some places are unsuitable because of the inclination,
shaded area or exposure to great gusts of wind.
Scoops and groundwork must be professionally done
and while doing so one must be especially careful because
every mistake on a concrete pool will cost you a
lot of money when repairing it.
The depth and the shape of the pool are your private
matter, although there are some shapes that are more
popular or easier to maintain. Very deep pools are nor
excessively safe, nor suitable for maintenance, so the
most common choice would be the depth from 1,30
to 2 meters. Alongside classical construction, there are
some other methods for building concrete pools: some,
after having been moulded, are placed in pre-existing
base, but before that it is necessary to prepare the surrounding
terrain for all the necessary connections for
maintaining the pool (we will deal with that a bit later). It
needs to be said that the pools made of concrete have
somewhat lower resistance to earth movements and
low temperatures – as opposed to some other kinds,
