The subsoil of washed river gravel (round pebbles) of 8-16 mm size is used as the Pool's bedding and with for slop bottom pool. Once settled, the sides are filled up by moistened concrete. So here is the step by step process of building a pool.

1. Complete manual and construction drawings

Remember this: The space under the stairs is always filled with dry concrete.

6. Technology installation in the shaft
