- The plastic design is a very fragile object, so choose such a product for decorative ornaments garden. Sometimes for the garden plastic collapsible create pools of medium size, the main drawback which is the sensitivity to low temperatures. Therefore, the question of storage during the winter period it is necessary to solve in advance.
- Greater strength is characterized by polypropylene construction. Because of frost, remove them after the summer vacation in the country do not have.

Collapsible design ↑
Portable pools for the garden produce of small and medium sizes. Depending on installation options, installation period is from several hours when placed on the surface, up to 3 days if equipment is in need of deepening. Choose a collapsible design can be of two types: frame pool can be truss or modular.
Core option ↑
Frame a set of vertical and horizontal stands, equipped with mounts. Included is a cover of PVC material and pump with filter. The build process does not take much time. First, a special compartment cover lock to the vertical ribs. Then use the grooves is attached a horizontal frame elements. The bag should be carefully smoothed, then mounted the tubing with the pumping unit equipped with a filter. Precast pool in the country is ready for operation.

Sectional model ↑
Prefabricated swimming pool for the villas is a separate module made of metal or plastic. After installation in the country inside it stretches the Cup, made of PVC material. There are various ways module connections: adhesive, bolt, or locking. The type depends on the material of the sections and shape of the pool.

- preparation of excavation, the dimensions of which exceed the size capacity of 0.8-1.0 m.
- the formation of the gravel cushion thickness of 15-20 cm;
- installation of reinforcing mesh and fill it with concrete mix;
- cover hardened concrete surface with geotextile;
