3.3.2 The pit
A margin of a minimum of 50 cm must
remain in the rounded swimming pool
segment where the skimmer and nozzles
are to be mounted, to allow the parts to be
built in and interconnected with the piping at
a later stage.
Margins of 30 cm are sufficient on the opposite side
and on the longitudinal sides.
Remember that the space immediately behind the
steel walls (except for the retaining wall segments)
must be backfilled with lean concrete at a 15–30 cm
thickness of bricked in.
Recommended pit dimensions:

For the sake of simplicity the pit has normally a
rectangular shape, although, of course, it can also be
circular or oval as appropriate, with the required
dimension margins.
The dug-out depth depends on the base slab and
gravel layer thickness as well as on the swimming

pool depth.
The rule of thumb is:
The base slab is typically 15 cm thick, the gravel
layer is typically about 5 cm thick (the precise
thickness will be determined by the installing
company depending on the bedrock).
The above-ground swimming pool height must not
exceed 1/3 of the total swimming pool height.
Typically the swimming pool's top edge is made flush
with the ground and then covered with a rim.
