Ways To Have A Rooftop Swimming Pool

By Scott Rodgers


Rooftop pools are quite a luxury to have. There is a lot of creative & technical desiging for the structural engineers and pool designers to come up with detailed top roof pool plans. To handle the weight of the water, the pol sits atop the building's structural concrete columns.

As it can be risky for your home to hold a swimming pool over head, it is better to be precautions on the earlier stage itself. The technology is such made that it provides a peace of mind to the users. The pools are made up on platforms, so the weight gets equally distributed over the roof and leaks do not occur. You can even deck it up by adding a garden on the other end of your roof.

Having a swimming pool on your roof is not as easy as it sounds. It is a very hectic and time-consuming project. To get a perfect pool, that is safe for you and for your home as well, hire on expert roofer, a plumber and an experienced structural engineer.

A rooftop pool means floor space saved for other purposes. But there are many problems that having one presents. One of them is the challenge in managing all that water. The poo sits on the structural concrete columns of the house so that the weight of the waterr is handled well.

To facilitate proper maintenance of the pool, it is crucial to have the hydraulic equipment that controls it enclosed in an accessible area, it will obviously make it more difficult task to maintain the pool and the roof.

Keep in mind that the weight on roof must be as less as possible.Usually, rooftop pools are shallower and smaller in size than the regular ones. Horizontal structures aren't affected by point loads, as the pool is supported by the structural columns of the building.

Ensure that the roof is thicker than the normal roof as it has to support extra load, and the roofing material must be of high-quality. Although, it is safe,but avoid partying on your roof to avoid that unnecessary load.

You must be cautions and picky when you pick contractor to build your rooftop pool. This is because it is a challenging task and the contractor is sure to botch it up if he hasn't had enough experience.
