DESIGNING A TERRACE SWIMMING POOL

Building a terrace pool requires some preliminary steps, which are essential to complete the project in complete safety.

Range assessment

Before installation it is necessary to know how much weight your terrace is able to withstand . Usually the terraces tolerate a minimum overload of at least  200 kg / m² , however, in the most recent constructions, the tolerance threshold can reach up to 400 kg / m² .

To have a precise assessment of the capacity of your terrace, it will be necessary to contact the person who built the building or, alternatively, a structural engineer will have to be hired to carry out all the necessary checks .

Permits and authorizations

Depending on the space available, you will need to request specific  condominium authorizations and permits from the Municipality , for an efficient assessment of your situation.

In the case of above ground pools, which comply with the weight standards, a particular bureaucratic procedure is not normally required. Different speech you want to perform structural reinforcements of the terrace. In this case, submitting the certified notification of the start of activity ( Scia ) to your Municipality is mandatory to obtain the permit and start the works.

Once this is done, all that remains is to file the calculations relating to civil engineering.

Surface and dimensions

Evaluating the surface of the terrace is important to make sure that you have enough flat space available to install a bathtub of the desired size.
