Formwork for pool - choose the best approach to building

What formwork - defines overlooking

There shuttering for vertical and horizontal structures, and moving round or rounded, and removable and non-removable, - each type has its own advantages.Without this device it is impossible to build a strip foundation, pedestal, floor, swimming pool.Pools are building private houses in the yard or inside the house.The bowl is cast in concrete, it provides space fantasy designer can build multiple levels, stairs, hills, and other elements.

The quality of the formwork depends on the result of all the work, it is determined by the choice of formwork.There are conventional removable system - steel, plastic or aluminum, it sets out the parts that are going on the construction site.For optimal use of the flat parts of the basin - the poured concrete is flat and smooth, evenly distributed, and it turns out very few defects, requiring the use of expensive leveling compounds.

But private pool house is always a non-standard, it is stylistically connected with the house, and without self-made wooden structures for protrusions, steps and curves can not do.Recently there was a flexible formwork

Syflex - it's better than homemade, but even it can not compare in quality to nonremovable.

Getting Started with the permanent shuttering

advantage of permanent formwork that when combined with the concrete it forms a monolithic structure, durable and reliable, it becomes a design element.The best permanent formwork for the pool - reinforced polystyrene, it is flexible and is mounted simply.After pouring the concrete is obtained the desired shape, able to withstand enormous loads.Swimming pool with permanent formwork can be made with your own hands.

first step is to dig a hole of square or rectangular shape - this will facilitate the subsequent work.The size of the hole should be at least 300 mm greater than the desired value of the pool (depth and width).Optimal dimensions - 2,5h2,5 m width and 2.0 m in depth.

bottom should be dry.It knit mesh of rebar with a diameter of 10 mm.It can be boiled, but knit better.Under her enclose pebbles so that the reinforcing mesh towered above the bottom 2-3 cm.

For fixing formwork are left vertical bars.Then, cement, sand and gravel in proportions of 1: 3: 6 is made concrete, which is poured bottom.After complete hardening of concrete laid waterproofing.

Handling formwork?

Then mount the formwork - polystyrene blocks, which are thicker than the outer wall and the interior is insulated.The first layer of shuttering blocks put on the bars especially carefully laid engineering communications and other elements.Stacking blocks recalls laying bricks: performed with an offset.

Connect the blocks vertically, have slots that close when pressed.After stacking the third layer is filled with concrete blocks, which necessarily sealed vibrator or by a bayonet.

Before pouring concrete is laid electric, water and sewer pipes.Subsequent layers are stacked formwork after concrete pour, and so to the top.Do not forget that you need to organize and filter system.All communications must first isolate and then enclosed in concrete, formwork, it will eliminate the material damage pipes and prolong their life.
