Essential swimming pool planning considerations
Building a swimming pool is an exciting time, but it's important to consider various factors to ensure a smooth construction process. Before diving into pool construction, it's crucial to understand the unique characteristics of your property.
Easements and Property: Many properties have easements that restrict building over certain areas, even though they are on your property technically owned by the council. These areas must be identified and avoided during pool construction.
Sewer Lines: Another key consideration is the location of main sewer lines and house sewer lines. It's important to plan carefully to avoid disrupting these utilities during pool construction.
Proximity to Structures: Factors such as the pool's distance from the house and retaining walls need to be carefully evaluated to prevent damage to existing structures during excavation.
Boundary Setbacks: Most councils have regulations on minimum setbacks from boundaries for pool construction. Understanding these requirements is essential to avoid any conflicts during the building process.
By considering these factors and planning effectively, you can ensure a successful pool construction project. While challenges may arise, being aware of these considerations is the first step towards a smooth and hassle-free pool building experience.
