Family Leisure is always trying to provide our customers with the highest quality products, at the Guaranteed Lowest Price. One of the ways we can do this is by keeping our Pool Installation as efficient and quick as possible. One thing you can do to help us in this endeavor is to make sure the pool site is clearly marked prior to arrival of the Installation Crew. This will save valuable time for our installers, as well as you. By following these guidelines, our installers can easily see your desired location, and avoid the unloading of supplies, equipment, and the Pool Package itself into the area that will need to be excavated. To begin, make sure that the Pool Site is not within 15’ of any overhead power lines, and 10’ from any trees. The Pool cannot be built over any part of a Septic System, and the customer is responsible to make sure the Pool is not infringing on any property lines, or easements.
NOTE: REQUIRED DISTANCE FROM PROPERTY LINES VARIES IN EVERY COMMUNITY.
MOST OF THIS INFORMATION CAN BE OBTAINED WHEN YOU GET YOUR PERMIT.
ROUND POOLS: Once you have chosen your site, place a screwdriver in the ground at the center of the pool. Second, measure a section of string that is half the diameter of your pool, plus an extra 2’. For example, a 24’ pool would require a 14’ string. The extra 2’ is for the “over dig” of the pool site. We will need to have a minimum of 2’ around the pool to have the room for proper installation. Next, tie one end of the string to the screwdriver, and while pulling the string taut, walk the circumference of the pool, and mark it with several stakes or paint.
OVAL POOLS: Oval Pools are done in about the same manner. Keep in mind that due to the side braces on an Oval Pool, the “over dig” requires the dimensions of the pool plus 7’ on the width, and 4’ on the length. For example, an 18’x 33’ Oval would be staked out at 25’ x 37’. Stake out, or paint the area as best you can, the Installer will verify and square up the site for you.
