The thickness of concrete in pool walls depends mainly on the state of the soil. To reinforce the structure of the pool, the walls are usually made 6 inches thick. They can be even broader, and the plaster finish of the inside should be at least 1 cm thick as well.

Use poured concrete instead of blocks into building a concrete pad for pool equipment. Make sure that your poured concrete is at least 4 inches in thickness. Instead of putting pipes through the concrete, create a crushed stone area on the side and pass the pipes through that for easy access and repairs. Once you have poured all the concrete, make sure that you smoothen out the surface for a cleaner and even look.

Once concrete becomes hard, you will require the services of a professional power washing company to clean all the residual sand, gravel, and other chemicals required to construct a pool.

For the day-to-day cleaning of the pool deck, a simple blend of bleach and soap is enough to get the grime out of the concrete.

If the interior of your pool has worn out and you need to restore it, the best material to use would be plaster.

Plaster is the easiest choice if you are handy with tools and want to DIY or experiment. Many products such as Sider-Pool are easy to use and make resurfacing an easy task. If sanding down the old plaster is difficult, you can call any professional who can chip it down to its shell.

Vinyl pools are comparatively lighter on your pocket than concrete pools. This is primarily because vinyl consumes less energy and is easier to clean and maintain over extended periods.

Yes, you can! You can incorporate the best of both by putting fibreglass inside a concrete pool. The concrete will create a solid foundation, and the fibreglass over it will provide a smooth coat on top. Some professionals also add a layer of synthetic glass resin over the fiberglass to provide a perfect finish.

Resurfacing is a budget-friendly option for restoring your pool deck. You can simply renovate it without pulling the entire concrete apart.

Nowadays, concrete pools are constructed in such a way that they can remain empty for extended periods. However, you should not keep them as they can still pop apart if the water level below ground rises.
