Awesome information. When screeding the bedding, do you screed it to the exact hight of the base of the pool? As in the shallow end may be 600mm shallower, so the height of the bedding would be higher and are these levels being checked with a laser level/dumpy?
Glad you like the vid! The bedding level should follow the contour of the pool floor using a laser level and be a consistent thickness. A laser level will be your best friend to get this outcome!
Great question. The backfill material is cement stabilised and will harden once washed in with water. Once it has hardened the surrounding earth won't mix with it. Cheers.
Hi. In Australia, you can use up to 7mm however the key is to mix in cement to stabilise the material once installed. We don't know about Thailand however with the rain and most likely clay, cement stabilisation will be important at a guess!
The coping tiles should be able to be removed without needing a jackhammer. The tiles should only have a thin layer of glue or cement to hold them onto the actual coping beam. A jackhammer anywhere near a fibreglass pool shell is not a match made in heaven!
Could you please tell me what the bedding thickness would for H1 clay sites I’ve been search through the standards and can only the definitions for each class of soil Thanks
@@CompleteFibreglassPoolKits apologies I meant the noosa, yet i have since studied your inclusions and exclusions ans was surprised to see delivery was included. thanks

Great video, thanks
Glad it helped! 😀
Really good video, thank you. Why do you not put a geotextile between the base and walls to protect mixing of earth with backfill?

Can I use 5 7 mm agregate on walls backfilling as well as for a bedding material
I live in Thailand hard to get some materials. Thanx Ray Faulks

Can you jack hammer up the old pool coping and pool deck tiles without cracking or breaking the fibreglass pool shell?
The coping tiles should be able to be removed without needing a jackhammer. The tiles should only have a thin layer of glue or cement to hold them onto the actual coping beam. A jackhammer anywhere near a fibreglass pool shell is not a match made in heaven!
No problems and thanks for the heads up. I had a feeling a jackhammer was a bad idea

Hi Kevin. Usually 200mm thick.
Is there a reason why standards/CDC limit bedding material size to 6/7mm and do not use for larger aggregate like road base ?
Our understanding is to prevent pressure points in the floor of the pool shell that will cause future cracking.
May I ask how much the Miami 11m would cost to deliver to Mildura roughly? im just factoring in other costs on top of the pool. Thanks so much
Hi. Thanks for getting in touch. We don't have the Miami. Were you thinking of our Daintree 11???

Hi, do you compact the bedding?
Hi Daniel. As a general rule, installers do not compact the bedding. It is not a requirement in the AS1829:2021 Fibreglass Pool Installation.
Yes
Yes we compack
Thanks for the vid
