What are the costs associated with building a pool, spa or spool?
The additional costs associated with building a pool, spa or spool are to take the cost of the particular kit being purchased and to double that cost to figure the approximate total cost of your project (this will vary based on how much of the work you do yourself and how much of the work you might hire out), which would include: 1. Excavation 2. Gravel (which needs to be placed and compacted in the excavated area prior to setting panels and again later in the construction phase behind the walls) 3. Plastering the foam panels (two coats of structural plaster with a polystyrene mesh embedded between the 1st & 2nd coats). The plastered panels need to cure for about 5-7 days and the panels should be sprayed or misted down with water on both sides for the first 3-5 days. 4. Pea-gravel backfill is placed around the outside of the pool in the excavated area (which is self compacting and allows the pool to be in its own environment and helps the pool to be resistant to free active earth movem
