Pool Installation Above Ground Pool

By Lisa Kennedy


On a hot summer day, having your swimming pool is an absolute boon. Besides, beating the heat, it provides relaxation, fun times, exercise, and bonding with close friends and family members. This explains why many people decide to have swimming tarns installed on their properties rather than seek out public tarns in their area. This article gives you more insight on pool installation in case you are planning to make one.

Above ground, tarns can come in different shapes, but the most common shapes are round or oval. You can measure the size of the above ground tarn that you would like by taking a garden hose and lay it out in the diameter of the tarn you would like on the ground in your backyard.

Above ground, tarns feature a frame and supports. When these are made from steel, they work just like Superman, keeping the tarn sturdy regardless of the conditions. Also, these resist corrosion, so they will look great and last longer. A pump is needed to circulate the water and to be most effective; it should be at least one horsepower for an 18-foot pool. Sand filters are more effective at cleaning water, so select one of these.

Once you figure out an idea of the shape and size of your tarn, call your local government office to find out about getting a permit. Every area or township has different rules and regulations. Having a permit will protect you if anything happens during tarn construction.

A pre-inspection and a layout of both the tarn and its accessories are sometimes provided with installations. The installers advise to what depth they will excavate the area, which is usually about six feet. Verify that all the plumbing is running from it to the filter, as well as the return lines, is included in the installation cost. Paying the extra money to get a tarn to run does not make sound financial sense.

Among the different types of swimming tarn installation, homeowners should know that in-ground installations are the most durable. There are several options if you wish to go this route. Fiberglass types are molded offsite to the desired shape, and lowered into an onsite excavation having laid plumbing. Vinyl-lined in-ground tarns are similar in structure with above-ground tarns, but a vinyl lining attached to a plastic, wood or metal perimeter wall.

You can then conduct a pre-inspection and layout process, after which the area will be excavated using heavy machinery. The tarn base is constructed from cement, and the coping and liner are installed. Wall panels and fittings are assembled, and the box frame is concreted to provide stability and reinforcement. The tarn filter and water return system requires the installation of underground plumbing, a project for another professional. In some cases, the filter and heater need installation of a precast pad.

Whatever type of swimming tarn you decide to have installed, get a company that also provides swimming pool maintenance. There is no shortage of specialists who will be happy to take the task of maintenance of your hands and make sure your tarn is always clean and in working order.
