As with a installation that we do here are a few basic step. Full instructions are however included with your diy swimming pool kit.

	Inserting the pre-molded step Once the hole has been dug and the swimming pool shape attained it is time to build the swimming pool walls and place the pre-molded pool step in place. Secure well so that the brick wall can be neatly constructed around it.
	Building the brick retaining wall Bricks and mortar are used for the wall but one needn't use expensive bricks as the liner will cover the surfaces. Plaster wall after bricks are all in place.
	Laying the sand floor Once the walls have been built and plastered one can lay the pool floor. It is a simple process of laying down river sand and compacting it with a roller. Make sure that all corners are well rounded as this provides a smooth surface for swimming pool cleaners and improves the appearance of the pool.
	Inserting the vinyl swimming pool liner Spread out the liner in the pool. and open it out so that it covers all the swimming pool surfaces.
	Securing the edges After smoothing out the liner and using small sandbags to keep the liner in place we need to secure the pool liner to the edges of the pool. It is a relatively simple process and is covered in more detail in the DIY Kit.
	Start filling the pool Now for the fun part. As you start filling the swimming pool with water all small creases in the vinyl disappear. You are left with a beautifully smooth surface.
	Fitting the weir and step While the pool is filling it is a simple process to complete the weir and step installations. Full instructions are included.
	Lay the swimming pool coping stones. With the liner well secured by the water one can now lay the coping stones. This picture was taken at a swimming pool repair site.
