Mission 1 - Build Update

Build Update

I constructed the pool throughout May 2014. Got the PVC liner in early June.

First off I covered walls and base with builders damp proof membrane (cheap).








Next I laid the PVC liner over.  This was just a pure flat sheet (cheaper than shaped). The idea was to lay it up and tuck fold the corners - origami with rubber, and have enough overlap to drop over the bale sides.

This worked pretty well. My only concern was how the PVC would react to being folded hard with the water pressure. Raining again when I did this so no pics.

Got some old wooden pallets from work and trimmed with circular saw to pop around the top to finish off. Gave them a quick sand down. Fastened with any old spare brackets, hinges I could find. Screwed through any posts to make secure.

.... and it was ready to fill.
