swimming pools i have built

[peckers]

just thought i would show you some pools that i have built,
They are the block and liner method, I built these from start to finish, I really enjoy doing them, they are relatively quick to do and once finished you can stand back and admire, i get e real sense of achivement when i have done them.

i think once you get the hang of them they wouldn't be too hard,well apart from the 140mm block on there belly:lol:

nice pics though!

excellent peckers!!!!

its nice to see other areas of construction that relate to tiling too..

it gives everybody a chance to view and learn new techniques and skills which can only be a good thing...

keep up the good work mate...

They are pre cast ones that were bought in, you just make the opening to the size of the steps they are then fixed back to the blockwork and reinforced behind with concrete.

The steps come in a few different sizes but standard yes, you can have them made specifically to what size and dimensions you like but the price goes up as always:mad2:
Yes i do all the blockwork, rendering, screeding etc

Thanks gooner, i really enjoy doing them, havent done any for a while now though, but when you have finished its just a great feeling, its nice to do something different from time to time,
A bit like doing basic bathrooms for a couple of months then you get a wet room to do!!!

diddnt think there was anyone else on here from down here, will have a look at young's status see where he is

Cornwall is a lovelly place to live,
There is a picture on my albums of a pool that is a mixture of mosaics and 6x4 and 4x4 camera not the best one though and it is a hopper pool.
