How to make a pool in the greenhouse?
The owners of country cottages and suburban areas very often think about building a pool on their territory. However, an open pool implies constant care and cleaning of various debris. In addition, very often climatic conditions allow using this facility for a rather short time. Therefore, the most relevant and practical is the construction of an indoor pool, for example, right in the greenhouse.
Special features
Caring for this design is much simpler and easier, you can use it for almost the entire spring, summer and half of autumn. Many owners install special heaters in the pools, this allows you to use the design in almost any weather.It should be noted that the construction of such a structure requires a large financial cost, and not everyone can afford it.
Therefore, as an alternative for many steel pools in polycarbonate greenhouses.
These closed designs have a large number of advantages.
- Polycarbonate greenhouse can be purchased in finished form and the desired size. Therefore, the installation does not take much time.
- The design reliably protects the internal space from prying eyes.
- You can use and enjoy the pool in almost any weather.
- Thanks to the polycarbonate coating, the water will warm up much faster and more evenly.
- In such a structure is always provided protection against various insects.
- In the manufacture of this facility uses environmentally friendly materials.
- Installation of the structure can be done personally, which can significantly reduce financial costs.
- In indoor pools much less water evaporates.
- The cost of these facilities is quite democratic.
Absolutely all family members can use the pool, the polycarbonate coating will reliably protect against various atmospheric precipitation and temperature changes.Thanks to the frame treated with special means, the design will delight over the years.
Advantages of polycarbonate
To date, glass has been a very popular material for covering walls and roofs of greenhouses, but it is a very fragile material. Products differed in big weight, besides glass possesses high heat conductivity.
Thanks to the latest developments, such material as polycarbonate has appeared, with excellent technical characteristics:
- small weight;
- durability and reliability;
- passes light well;
- the sun's rays are evenly scattered inside the building;
- due to the good flexibility and elasticity of the material, you can create any shape;
- increased resistance to precipitation and impact;
- the material is absolutely waterproof;
- it is resistant to the formation of mold and mildew;
- material has a high resistance to fire;
- easy to sanitize;
- has a long service life;
- a huge variety of models, made using a rich color palette.
Forms and models of construction
By choosing a greenhouse for the construction of the pool should be approached deliberately.Increased moisture in the design involves the use of materials with good resistance to corrosion and moisture.
They have high technical characteristics and are resistant to various effects of frames made of galvanized and stainless steel, aluminum, steel profiles with polymeric spraying. It is not recommended to purchase frames made of wood and ordinary steel. These structures are exposed to high humidity and have a short service life.
An important role when choosing a greenhouse is the shape of the product. You must choose a structure that can withstand heavy loads during the winter, a strong wind.
Greenhouses can have a variety of forms.
- The design in the form of an arch. A distinctive feature of these models is excellent aerodynamic properties. The most popular and common option, the shape of the product provides unhindered descent of snow cover.
- For round pools very often used domed design. The stylish and interesting construction will decorate any personal plot.A distinctive feature of this design is a complex installation.
- Greenhouses with single and double sloping roofs. These structures are characterized by low resistance to precipitation in the form of snow and strong winds. Installation of these structures will not cause any difficulties, you can perform it yourself.
- Asymmetrical designs. The frame of this greenhouse consists of one straight side wall and a semicircular.
When choosing a design, it is necessary to take into account the parameters, all the features of the land and climatic conditions, the number of family members, etc.
Also, polycarbonate greenhouse structures are divided into two types.
- Low. These structures are mainly used to protect the pool from various debris. Constructions are divided into two types: folding and sliding.
- High. The height of the structure allows you to be inside the structure, walk, sit, and so on. In such facilities you can install furniture, special heaters. The design is equipped with doors.
Assembly work
Pool
Parameters and sizes of the pool should be selected individually.Models are divided into two types: in-depth and installed on the surface. To avoid the construction of high arches above the pool, it is better to opt for the in-depth models.
There are two options for mounting the pool.
- The first option - making a pool with your own hands. To do this, dig a pit. Its sizes are individual. Next, you need to install the formwork inside the pit, prepare a sand pillow and fixtures. Then you need to pour concrete. After it hardens, the surface is trimmed with tiles. This process of making an artificial reservoir takes a lot of time and effort.
- In this case, the pool bowl is selected and purchased at a specialized outlet. The modern market represents a huge range of various models of these products. They differ in size, shape and material from which they are made.
More popular models made of propylene. These products are characterized by excellent technical characteristics, increased resistance to temperature extremes and various mechanical and chemical influences.Products made of propylene withstand the movement of the soil, they are quite strong and reliable.
To install the bowl also need to prepare a pit. The dimensions of the pit should exceed the bowl parameters by about thirty centimeters.
Before you put the bowl in the pit, you need to carefully tamp the bottom and lay a layer of geotextile to avoid washing out the soil. Next, you need to prepare a cushion of sand, only after the completion of all manipulations, the bowl for the reservoir is lowered into the pit.
Greenhouse
You can install a polycarbonate greenhouse above the pool by yourself, without attracting specialists.
To do this, it is necessary to choose a greenhouse model that is suitable in form and parameters. Further, all work is carried out in several stages.
- It is necessary to fill the foundation with concrete and reinforcement. The depth of the foundation should be about fifty centimeters.
- Further, it is necessary to assemble the structure, following the instructions exactly.
- After that you need to carefully fix the frame on the foundation. To do this, use special bolted connections.
- Then you need to carefully fix all the arcs and stiffeners with special fasteners.
- After performing all the manipulations on fixing the structure, the frame should be treated with special means against corrosion and painted in the desired color.
- Upon completion of the painting, you can proceed to the plating of the building with polycarbonate, following the previously prepared drawings.
Terms of care and maintenance
Polycarbonate structures do not require much effort to care for the structure.
For the construction to be enjoyable for a long time, it is necessary to adhere to certain recommendations.
- A frame made of wood should be inspected periodically in order to identify and repair various damages in a timely manner. Also should regularly tint design.
- A structure made of ordinary steel is also recommended to be periodically tinted in order to avoid the appearance of corrosion.
- Polycarbonate coating should be regularly washed with special detergents.
Make an artificial frame pond in a greenhouse made of polycarbonate in the country can be quite easily and simply with your own hands. The design of the original form will decorate the site and a favorite vacation spot for the whole family.Reviews of such structures are often positive.
Self-installation of the facility will significantly save the family budget and guarantee the high quality of the work performed. At installation of a design environmentally friendly materials are used, it is a guarantee of safety for health of the person. A pool installed in a polycarbonate greenhouse will delight you for many years.
