Materials for pavers In planning for the installation of a new Latham pool, there are many important considerations that must be evaluated in order to achieve a functional, long- lasting and aesthetic addition to a home. When choosing a location, consider the following: 1. Grade: Pools and decks are normally constructed on level ground. Extreme variations in grade should be resolved before the excavation of the pool begins. A relatively level and flat location is preferred so time and effort are not wasted on radical fluctuations in grade. 2. Excavation Equipment Access and Pool Delivery: Determine the most efficient route for equipment to enter and access the site. Also keep in mind that a well planned route can save time and money by enabling multiple pieces of equipment to work in unison. For example: Coordinate the delivery of the pool with the completion of the excavation and preparation of the hole. Use of a crane with four (4) 20-foot straps is recommended for the process of setting the pool shell in the excavated site. However, if a track excavator was used to prepare the site, in some cases it may also be utilized to unload and set the pool. Contact Latham for specific guidelines for setting pools with excavator equipment. Finally, consider the placement of the equipment. If possible, position the pool equipment so the pool shell can be unloaded and placed directly into the excavation without risking damage to the equipment. 3. Underground Utilities: Check with local authorities in advance for the locations of underground water, gas, power and sewer lines. 4. Overhead Power Lines. S. Local Building Codes: Determine the setbacks from property lines, easements, house footings, etc. 6. Underground Water Conditions. 7. Water Drainage: Water should always drain away from the pool. Failure to keep ground water away from the exterior of the pool may result in damage to the pool that is not covered under warranty. 8. Local Fencing Codes. 9. Location of Pool Equipment. 10. Electrical Run for Pool Equipment. 11. Exposure to Sunlight. 12. Surrounding Foliage. 13. View from Residence. LATHAM POOL PRODUCTS, INC.
