Q: What should you not do when building a pool?

• <div><p>Most importantly, you should never cut corners when building a pool. Whether it&rsquo;s an in-ground or aboveground, poorly constructed pools are dangerous to both the swimmers and your property. Leaks can even lead to home foundation damage. While you can DIY smaller elements of pool installation, always hire a contractor to oversee the process. </p></div>

Q: How can you heat a pool without a heater?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have the budget for one, there are numerous ways to warm up your pool without a heater. You can improve the insulation, use solar covers to trap heat from the sun, or even let a black hose sit in the sun until it heats up and delivers fresh, warm water straight to your pool.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep animals out of my pool heater?

• <div><p>Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the safest pool fence material?

• <div><p>Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they&rsquo;re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">swimming pool enclosure</a> that surrounds the pool on all sides.</p></div>

They made sure all supplies were in hand before starting to not delay construction.. Was very careful our floors were protected since they had to work thru kitchen, hallways, and master bedroom. Once they started construction they worked steady until it was done.
