Pool construction - Part 1 - Episode 33 - The Dirt Road Home

Pool construction, in this episode our pool builders have formed up and constructed our concrete pool, its now up to me to finish off around the pool. In part one of this video you will see the excavation, footings, blockwork and the surrounding concrete slab being poured.
In Part 2, I'll show the tiling, fencing, filling with water and all the final bits and pieces.

Loves the videos James. Couple of questions. Did you chemset the 12mm bars that you put back into the slab around the pool? Also, did you have clean out blocks on the bottom of your core filled walls?

[@OurBuild]

Hi Matt, thanks for tuning in. No chemset as its for shear movement not expanding. Also no wash out blocks, technically there probably should have been, but the brickies promised to lay very clean 😁

[@nicko198718]

"A week or so to cure" mate I hope your laying at least 30mm stone and putting multiple expansion joints, that's way to soon to be throwing rocks around.

20 / 25Mpa, yep expansions in all corners. Ended up giving it 3 weeks before tiling and 5 months on so far no cracks :)
