Building your Above Ground Pool

Pool Pros Tundra Loc Above Ground Pool Installation System was developed over 20 years of building, repairing and servicing Above Ground Swimming Pools in the Frozen Tundra of Green Bay Wisconsin. Throughout that time I have seen first hand what the harsh winters can do do above ground pools. Pool Pros has developed a solid process with solid results.

1: The Tundra Loc Above Ground Pool Installation System is a 7 part system that starts with a solid foundation. This starts out with excavation. the single most important part of our process. At Pool Pros we excavate our pools and hand tune the base to a 1/8″ tolerance on virgin soil.

2: Our pool tracks are placed on virgin soil and rounded using composite rods to keep the pool track in place while assembling the pool. This gives our pools the most solid foundation possible. We DO NOT use patio blocks under any portion of our pools. This is a common mistake, made by low cost or inexperienced installers. In the unforgiving winters of the frozen tundra of Wisconsin, these patio blocks will be heaved out of the ground when the frost sets in. Thus damaging your pool.Which can lead to costly repairs.

3: Our next step is to place screened mason sand(provided by Pool Pros) in the center of the pool bottom track. (not under).

4: After the sand is placed and is roughly raked out we begin assembling the pool. As we unroll the pool wall we add top stabilizer bars, uprights and top caps. This gives the pool the strength needed to stay standing while the pool is completed. We also use strategically placed stakes and bungee cords to add more strength to the pool during installation

5: After the pool is assembled, and cove is installed, we rake the sand one last time to uniform thickness. We then dampen the sand with a garden hose and use a plate compactor to compact the sand base. After the compactor is removed from the pool, we hand trowel the entire bottom to give the pool a complete smooth finish.

6: At this point we begin installing the liner. This is done entirely from outside the pool. We have a special technique that allows the wrinkles to be pulled out via a specialized vacuum and specialized liner broom. Using this method we never have to enter the pool once it has been trowelled.

7: Now we begin filling the pool from clients source, assemble the pump and filter equipment and load tools and equipment onto the tuck.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

This graphic below shows a cut a way of an above ground pool built with the Tundra Loc system and a cutaway of the system that most low cost installers use. Be sure to review our blog that shows what happens to pools that are built with patio blocks in this climate. Also take a look at our slide show of our installation process.

The first step in our process is to set up our portable holding tanks and begin filling them from the clients source while we build the pool.

The next step is to begin the excavation of your above gorund pool. We mark out hte perimeter of the pool and use the lowest point on that perimeter as grade. This ensures your pool is on solid virgin ground. It takes longer but results in a solid foundation.

This is the completed excavation that is graded to within 1/8".

At this point we assemble the bottom track and take a series of measurements to ensure the pool is perfectly round.

Now we unload the washed mason sand that we provide and brin to the site.

Now that we unloaded the sand we now place the sand inside the bottom track and rake to a uniform thickness.

Now we strategically place all of the pool components to aid in efficient installation of your above ground pool.

After the pool is rounded, the sand base installed and the parts staged, we double check the levelness of the bottom track to ensure we are still within our 1/8" tolerance.

At this point we begin to install the pool wall. During this process we use a series of specialized stakes and bungy cords to help give the pool more strength until the pool is completely assemebled.

At this point we begin installing Gladon Pool Cove in the bottom corner of the pool.

One last time we raked the mason sand base to a uniform thickness in preperation for compacting.

In this step we get the mason sand just damp enough that it compact nice and firmly.

Now we use a plate compactor to compact the sand and get a good firm base.

Now we are hand trowelling the pool base to give your pool a smooth firm base.

Now the pool base is completed and ready for the liner installation.

Now we have installed the pool liner and are filling the pool with the water we had filling up our holding tanks.

Once the pool is filled to the appropriate level we then install the skimmer, return and the pump and filter system. We also install ball valves on the skimmer and return to increase the ease of servicing and maintaining your pool.

As you can see the Tundra Loc Above Ground Pool Installation System exceeds what is provided by competitors and exceeds what is known as the industry standard for Above Ground Pool Installation. The Tundra Loc 7 Part Installation System does take longer to complete then other methods, so it does carry a higher price tag than our competitors, but with this process your pool will be built to withstand the harsh winter climate of the Frozen Tundra and give you many years of trouble free use. It will also be built by the only APSP Certified Building Professional that builds Above Ground Pools.

We also offer our exclusive Tundra Shield Pool Insulation to protect your pool from heat loss by up to 80%. (link to tundra shield blog)
