Excavation

Step 1 - Excavation for a vinyl-lined pool is a job for an experienced backhoe operator. Normally, the side excavation is approximately two feet beyond the finished pool perimeter to allow for assembly and a concrete footing to be installed.

Assembly

Step 2 - The second step includes assembly of the steel panels and stairs, coping receptor, skimmer and inlets, as well as suction and return plumbing.

Decking

Step 3 - Most builders pour the concrete decking once all of Step Two is completed, but in some cases and with certain water table situations, the liner will be installed before the decking is poured. The pool structure is strong enough to allow installation to proceed in either manner.
