Fox Construction Process
Your design has been finalized, your location is set and ready to go, and financing is in order… now what? It’s time to start digging and building your dream pool!
BUILDING A FOUNDATION FIT FOR AN OASIS
We transition your landscape from ‘plain’ to ‘paradise’ over a series of weeks. As with all construction, it may not be the most appealing process, but the beautiful new pool/spa system that will be the end result is sure to make a few weeks-worth of digging, 100% worth it. Check out our organized process that is followed in all Fox Pool builds to see how we change your yard right in front of your eyes!
STEP 1:
EXCAVATION
The pool is excavated according to the dig drawings. A 3ft section is excavated outside the wall area to facilitate the wall assembly, X-Braces™, plumbing, and concrete footer.
STEP 2:
WALL ASSEMBLY
The pool walls are assembled on the perimeter. The X-Braces™ are attached every 4ft, plumbing roughed in, and the footer is poured. At this time Fox Stairs, Buddy Seats®, Swim-Outs, and all integral parts of your Fox pool wall system are added.
STEP 3:
BACKFILL
Backfilling can be poured if desired, but is not necessary as the X-Braces™ are designed to support the pool walls independently, even when filled with water. In most cases, your Fox dealer will backfill your pool walls and pour the deck, prior to finishing the bottom and installing the liner.
STEP 4:
CONCRETE DECKING
Steel reinforcing rods are added throughout the perimeter of the pool attached to the X-Braces™, to form the foundation for your pool deck. Concrete is poured into forms and finished to your specifications.
FINISHING TOUCHES
STEP 5: FINISHING THE BOTTOM
Your Fox Dealer will finish the pool bottom with a mixture of concrete and sand or vermiculite. This material is applied approximately 1.5 to 2 inches thick over the bottom and is troweled smooth by hand.
STEP 6: INSTALLING THE LINER
As soon as the bottom is finished, the Fox liner is spread across the pool and dropped into place. The top edge of the liner hooks neatly into the Foxite II coping while the remainder is drawn tight around the pool sides and bottom with a vacuum. Once a foot or so of water is in the pool, your Fox Dealer attaches the fittings and cuts away the excess liner material from around the stairs.
STEP 7: ENJOY YOUR NEW POOL!
Once water has been delivered and your pool is full, your Dealer will test all of the components, add sanitizers as necessary, and review their operations with you.
