I'm done getting our new AGP built and filled and now need to put some finish around the outside. I wanted to get some input from those with experience in this area on how best to go about it. The plan is to build a deck up to the pool on the upslope side with enough deck around the perimeter to walk all the way around the pool but this project most likely won't start until fall or spring of next year. One concern I want to address right away is getting drainage in place on the slope side to divert water out around the ends and daylight to drain downhill into our pond.
Drainage:
Drainage:
- With this being an oval pool the buttress-free supports come out about a foot or so exterior side of the pool. Would it be best to trench just outside these and down lower or some other method? This pool model says it can be in-ground up to 27" so I thought maybe slope (material undetermined??) from the pool wall out to where it is currently level, lay the pipe with downward slope to each pool end and then backfill.
- Those that have experience with the pre-sleeved corrugated drain pipe, did you lay it on gravel and backfill with gravel to help mitigate silt and clay clogging it up?
