Frame pools for giving: types and characteristics

Who among us does not dream in the summer to leave the city from the everyday hustle and bustle and relax there with body and soul? And if you still manage to cool down in a pond on a hot day, then this is, in general, the dream of any vacationer. But even if you don’t see a lake or a river near your site, you will still be able to swim - for many years the zealous owners have set frame pools in country cottages that can satisfy the wishes of both adults and children.

The main feature of all frame pools is the ability to install a complex-looking structure with your own hands. The success of such an event depends on how well your water supply system is designed.

The next point is the size of your “pond”: There are models from 30 centimeters in height to huge options - 2-3 meters in depth and 10 meters in length.With the purchase of such a large frame pool there is no need to plan trips anywhere to the reservoir. It all depends on the size of the area allocated for the pool, and your financial capabilities.

Features of the design of the pool - the presence of a metal frame and a flexible coating products. From the frame (frame) and depends on the shape of your pool. It must be emphasized that the frame form is more durable than an inflatable pool.

Frameworks are of two types:

• The core frame looks like a large hoop, assembled from strong metal rods. Such rods have a tubular base. After the pool bowl is filled with water, the structure becomes rigid and stable. In some cases, manufacturers have provided side steps for convenience.
• The frame of continuous sheet coverings - modules connected to each other with special bolts, or lock fasteners, is called: sheet.This is a very reliable and durable construction, in the inner part of which a special PVC case is stretched. It is thanks to this film, which does not allow algae to appear in the water, the walls of the pool bowl are always pleasant to the touch. The corners of this model are usually reinforced with a special metal frame fixed across the metal wall.

Usually, hoses with the help of which water is pumped and pumped out, and sometimes ladders must be present in the pool, so that it is more convenient to clean the pool walls, a set of care products is possible.

As for the dimensions, in the assembled state the massive, at first glance, construction does not take up much space - a small bale of reinforced waterproof fabric and the corresponding set of frame components. In this form, the pool is easy to immerse in the trunk of the car.

Of course, for the winter time it is recommended to reassemble the structure.However, if you are sure that your outdoor pool is safe and there is a special fabric to cover it, it will “overwinter” perfectly where you installed it. With proper care, the life of such a pool is about 10 years.

The pool itself, given the name "frame", is a frame - rod or sheet, parts of which are securely fastened to each other, and then the pool bowl itself is attached to them. The material from which it is made is more than reliable: two vinyl layers and one layer of polyester provide reliable protection that can withstand more than 50 tons of water. Such a design can compete with stationary pools.

A guarantee that such pools in winter are cold-resistant enough is a steel base with a special anti-corrosion coating. The vinyl bowl itself is also covered with a special frost-resistant film. In winter, you simply release the bowl from the water and cover it with a special awning.

Some manufacturers recommend not to do this - you can pour water into the pool and when it freezes to polish the surface that has appeared, as a result you will get a real ice rink at home.By the way, such models do not necessarily have to be driven into the ground in winter, as many believe, the mass of frozen water will give the structure additional stability.

I would like to pay special attention to all-season models, the usage period of which can be almost 15 years. The bowl of this model is enclosed with iron sheets, whose thickness is 0.6 mm. For additional durability outside the sheets are covered with acrylic paint, and in several layers, which saves the model from corrosion. The pool can be decorated with various decorative elements that will make it not only comfortable, but also stylish.

Frame prefabricated pools are good and the fact that their price is much less stationary. Plus - ease of assembly and care. Of course, an inflatable pool is much cheaper than a frame one, but users will agree with the fact that they cannot even be compared in terms of durability. It turns out that the frame model is a kind of "golden mean" between solid and perpetual concrete pools, in the construction of which it is necessary to invest a lot of strength and finance, and inexpensive, but rather short-lived rubber models.

Those who have already acquired such a frame "home sea", can note the following advantages:

• This design perfectly makes all temperature drops in the air and exposure to ultraviolet rays. She is not afraid of blows, it is very difficult to pierce vinyl fabric (which cannot be said about inflatable products), and if someone comes to mind simply to break the steel frame structure, he will have to work hard.
• The service life of a frame pool is up to 10 years. The convenience of such an acquisition lies in the fact that it can be installed on a completely non-ideal surface.
• The forms that the frame model can take are quite diverse: polygonal (which is very convenient when the plot has a non-standard shape), in the shape of an eight, oval and square, with stairs, with different height and area adjustments.
• A convenient filtration system allows you to quickly and efficiently clean the pool walls, in contrast to the stationary ones, where the cleaning process is rather cumbersome and expensive.

Of course, the installation of such mini-reservoirs has its drawbacks:

• For example, whirlpools, which in their work resemble a jacuzzi, in the winter it is necessary to assemble or move it to a heated room.
• For such pools, the substrate is obligatory, you can use sifted sand, on which PVC plates are placed, and these are additional costs. In addition, if the grass grows in the area where you intend to install the pool, it will be necessary to weed it out, otherwise it will begin to rot.
• If you are not sure of the density of the walls of the pool, you can strengthen them with reinforced mesh.
• Dimensions, that is, the massiveness of the structure: for some users, it is difficult to transfer such a pool to a specific time for a certain time.
• If you decide on a more expensive model - all-season, then you will not be able to install it alone, then you need to dig trenches for communications, the foundation for such a pool should be perfectly level, it can be concrete. Plus - additional spending on the filtration system. But as a result, you can relax in comfort for many years.

The shapes of the frame pools on the market today are striking in their versatility - from standard round, rectangular and oval to polygonal, in the form of a trapezoid and various asymmetric variations.

The rectangular frame construction is suitable for any suburban area, in whatever style it is decorated. In the pool of this form it is easier to swim, various children's rides are perfectly attached to it. Manufacturers have thought up for such a shape a more durable framework so that the design “holds the shape”. Therefore, the cost of a rectangular pool is slightly higher than that of a round one.

Such a pool of 1.5 meters in depth will ideally fit into the design of any small suburban area. A smaller rectangular pool can be installed for smaller members of your family. In the frame pool, they will feel safe.

If you are looking to rest in a large company, then choose rectangular pools that are deeper and more spacious. However, it makes sense to install them if you have a spacious rest area, otherwise it will simply look cumbersome. And although many believe that rectangular pools are more convenient than round ones, nevertheless, the latest frame pools are also popular with users. Many people think that it is more convenient to take care of them, because less garbage will be collected in the corners.

The round shape is universal, in such a model it is convenient to splash around with the whole family. Models of small size will look great even in the garden area, which is planted with fruit trees. Large pool is better to install on a spacious landscape. The frame of the round pool is slightly lighter than that of the rectangular, in the line of this model there are quite low cost options that many families can allow.

Oval pools combine the advantages of the two previous - and round, and rectangular. They are comfortable to lean on the sides, you can swim, and not just splash.

Models of a special form, trapezoidal, L-shaped, in the form of eight and another form are much more expensive, since their size is rather big. Such a pool can be installed both on the surface of the earth and deepen into it. Such a model is not necessary to disassemble for the winter, usually such structures are frost-resistant. Manufacturers recommend purchasing an additional filtration system, a special vacuum cleaner, with which you can clean the inside of the pool bowl without draining all the water from it.

Regardless of the shape of the frame pools, there are general rules for caring for them so that the structures serve as long as possible to their owners.

If you do not take care of the filtering equipment, then no matter how hard you try, after a certain time the water will become muddy, and dangerous bacteria may appear in it:

• Various nets or brushes, it is better both that, and another - it is easy for them to remove fallen leaves and “sunken” insects from the surface of the water.
• Filter pump, which should be included in the delivery set.
• Various chemical cleaners or reagents: they are usually produced on the basis of chlorine, bromine and active oxygen. They slow down the growth of bacteria and salt deposits. They are liquid or produced in tablets and granules.

If your pool is disassembled after the summer season, then all its parts are thoroughly washed, then they must be dried and stored in a fairly warm room. If the model is all-season, the pool can not disassemble for the winter, if the temperature at this time does not fall below -25 degrees. Leaving the "wintering" frame structure, it must also be thoroughly cleaned, but it is not necessary to drain all the water, leave a little liquid at the bottom,Put plastic bottles into it to maintain the shape of the bowl, cover the pool with a special awning and wait for the next swimming season.

In today's market of frame pools, a huge number of brands and models are presented. Spain, Czech Republic, Canada, China - all These countries have long been producing high-quality products, however, the prices of many products in this series are quite high:

• Canadian model cold-resistant pools Atlantic Pool is actively sold in more than 80 countries around the world. The cleaning filter in such structures contains sand in its structure, which is much more reliable than paper cartridges in other models. The capacity of large pools - up to 70 square meters.
• German manufacturers Deliver to different countries, including Russia, the Sunny Pool model. According to the owners, these are frame pools of the highest class, but the price for them is not the lowest.
• Triple reinforced film - "feature" of numerous models from China. Another advantage of products from Chinese manufacturers - low prices.
• Canadian pools Bestway is easy to maintain and is fairly easy to install. Prices - from budget to high.Products from this company are safe for human health and are very convenient.
• Ratings on the number of sales are beating american models Intex. The company is considered to be the world leader in the production of frame pools. The manufacturer, which appeared in the 70s of the last century in America, today has factories around the world. A huge number of models at a very affordable price brought mass popularity to the manufacturer.

Of course, which of the pools is the best and most suitable for you - this is just your choice. However, do not forget that the brand of the manufacturer is a guarantee of quality.

Before you install the frame construction in your home, really assess the size of the territory set aside for your "sea".

In order to properly equip a place for a pool, it is necessary at the very beginning to prepare a place for its foundation. Clear the soil, remove the turf, stones and sharp objects: snags, glass, etc. Connoisseurs recommend installing a pool away from trees - then there will be less fallen leaves and twigs on the surface of the water.

However, if you are a fan of outdoor recreation and the presence of abundant vegetation does not bother you, you can set up a swimming pool next to the flower beds. The main thing is that the space under the base of the structure should be even, without bulges.

The landscape around the pool itself needs to be designed in an original and stylish way - for this you can use the advice of designers. One of them: do not use sand or gravel around the pool, they quickly heat up in the sun and it will be uncomfortable to step on them.

It is best to use paving tiles or wood of certain types of wood. Glass tile can also be used as a stylish solution. Expensive, but effective variant of the design of the approach to the place of rest is a decking: the whole area around the structure will get a stylish and well-groomed appearance.

If your site is small, you can install a swimming pool right on the wooden veranda - stylish and comfortable. You can jump into it directly from the veranda in hot weather, and in the evenings enjoy the coolness while drinking juice.

If you are allowed to finance, and you have acquired an all-season model, then you can build a small stone terrace next to it, on which you can install deck chairs and parasols.

Regarding the design of your pool with flowers, tubs with plants or in containers would be the best choice.If necessary, they can be interchanged and create new compositions.

A pool of any value, size and shape will give you an unforgettable feeling of comfort and harmony, as well as benefit your health.
