Hand-Packed Concrete
Swimming Pool build with Hand-Packed Concrete
The hand-packed concrete method has almost disappeared but may still be used in some rural areas.
Fewer forms are used than with a poured concrete pool, and much more hand labor is required.
The same limitations as poured concrete construction, on shape, apply on hand-packed concrete constructed swimming pools The pool's sloping sides have two disadvantages – they make it more difficult for people to get out of the pool, and they don't lend themselves to competitive swimming.
Other Swimming pool constrution materials are;
Gunite, Poured Concrete, Hand-Packed Concrete, Masonry Blocks, Vinyl-lined Pools, Metal or Plastic Sidewall Pools, Fiberglass Pools, Fiberglass Shells and Hybrid Fiberglass, and Portable Pools. |
