Above Ground Concrete Block Swimming Pool

First establish the size of the swimming pool and the location.

Above ground concrete block swimming pool.

Set stakes at the 4 corners of the dig area cross measure to ensure the dimensions are square. These areas have to be dug up and or chipped away into a flat area and then sand or limestone is brought in for leveling. For an 8 block wall pool we want to mark the location 12 larger on all walls. Stacking the blocks with cores lined up put a rebar vertically every 8 inches.

It provides the wall footing and reinforcement designs for building above ground and in ground icf pools cisterns and water basins. We used lintel block normally used over doors and windows to wrap rebar around the pool every 8 inches horizontally. Like a semi inground pool an above ground concrete pool needs retaining walls to sustain the pressure from the thousands of gallons of water.
