Preparations for your water treading pool

With the help of these construction instructions you can build a water treading basin in the garden yourself.

  1. So that your water treading pool has a stable foundation you should dig a 50 cm deep trench. The trench should be three feet wide and five feet long. After the trench is dug, you should cut steel meshes and install them in the trench as reinforcement.
  2. Then take some water from your masonry bucket and mix the precast concrete for your floor slab. Then you pour the precast concrete at the bottom of your trench, up to the point where you can no longer see the probation. Then pull the base plate with an aluminum lath and the spirit level so that the base plate is then flat and level.
  3. After the floor slab has dried, you should use formwork panels and iron bars to build formwork for the side walls. Then you also pour the side walls for your water treading pool to build yourself.

Build the water basin yourself

  3. When the tile adhesive in your do-it-yourself treading pool has dried, mix the grout and spread it over your tiles and joints. Then you should wait a little until the mortar is slightly tightened, then clean the tiles from the tile mortar.
  4. When the grout has dried and you have cleaned the tiles, your water treading basin is ready.

When building, please always make sure that your precast concrete does not get too thin. I wish you success!
