Concrete swimming pools can be one of the most expensive types of pools
to install, however they are the most solid.
The construction method for installing a concrete
swimming pool is quite simple. Once the hole is dug, steel is laid and
secured in the desired shape and boarding is put in
place to hold the concrete.
The concrete is poured. Once the concrete
is set, then the pool can be finished either by a waterproof paint or by
tiling. |

However if you choose the second option, please note you will have to carry out a maintenance programme
every couple of years to ensure the paint does not flake.
In Portugal you will there
are many companies and builders who specialise in constructing concrete
swimming pools. If you are do decide to install a concrete pool, double
check the what length of warranty the swimming pool will have.
