Zoom in on mini-pools !

The different types of mini-pool

Today, there is no need to turn to removable above-ground pools to enjoy swimming moments. Even on a small surface area, you can already undertake an in-ground pool project in an urban environment. Generally less than 10 m2 , these mini-pools have no trouble finding a place in your outdoor space. Indeed, different models of pools are now available and easy to adapt according to your land.

Generally created to measure to adapt to the constraints of your garden, you can personalize your shell pool according to your budget, by choosing the desired shape (round, rectangular, square), the size of your shell pool and even the color of the coating.

Be aware, however, that before enjoying the joys of swimming, you will need to plan a certain amount of work, such as:

– The excavation of your land, which allows you to dig the location of your mini-pool. This step is carried out after checking the nature of the soil and by choosing the location of your pool .

– Delivery and installation of your mini-pool.

– Setting up the filtration system and making the various connections.

– Finally, the backfilling, the installation of the covering and the edges.

Don't panic, thanks to the expertise of a swimming pool professional , you will have to wait a maximum of a week before being able to enjoy jumping into the water.
