forzaitalia is right , you need a specialist or two to answer your questions.

Something to think about though, if you have a clear 20metre run by what will probably need to be 7metres wide,that is a huge space, if not and walls need to come out, then there will be some serious structural work to be done. The size you are considering will hold about 120 - 150 tons of water so the foundation and construction of the pool will need to be enough to support that, also depending on the area in which you live you may need a ground survey for any services that may be impacted by the work, you will need a survey of the property and foundation anyway to assess any impact such a construction may have on the property.

A professional pool constructor should be able to answer all of those questions and probably some I haven't thought of.

I think you need to get some suppliers in to quote. I doubt many Houzzers can answer this for you.

building a Natural Swimming Pool / clay bottom swimming pond
Q
Comments (10)
Really neat. I live in Flour Bluff on the east side of Corpus Christi, and I am wanting to build a natural pond in my sandy backyard using clay and then lining the bottom with white rock and limestone. I want to make the pond look like the Comal River in New Braunfels ( a natural spring fed river) and plant it and stock it with plants and fish from the river. I live in a Zone 10A climate (nearly tropical) with an average annual low of about 31F. I have a tropically landscaped backyard, and I think having a natural spring looking pond would be awesome underneath my jungle canopy I am starting to grow in the backyard. I would like to make the pond about 10 - 12 feet long, about 8 ft. wide and about 4. 5 - 5 ft. deep. with a small waterfall and filtration for the fish and aquatic life. I would like to power this with a small solar panel attached to the fence or the roof of the house (where it can get some sunlight). Any suggestions? Thanks, John

Thoughts on removing an inground swimming pool
Q
Comments (55)
Alisonn, I had a pool removed too when I bought my house here in NJ. There is a requirement from NJDEP that your removal company needs to comply with. Basically it concerns the fill material that gets put into the hole, how large the pieces are from the concrete that is broken up and put back into the hole, etc. In Atlantic county, I needed a demolition permit, and then had to get inspections once the pool was removed and the cement chunks put into the hole, then again after the final fill was completed. $3500 is a good price. Mine cost $5500 to remove. Good luck!

I want to invest in building for my children a swimming pool area of about 4mx15m do not know the cost of building much?

HCM, by engineer Nguyen Dung cheapest quote, about $ 50,000 do not know the price so reasonable? In fact, I find the price is too high compared to the original plan

Has anyone added a swim up bar to an existing pool?
Q
Comments (3)
Adding bar stools in the pool is feasible. If a contractor is SUPER NEAT and protects the existing plaster during this process, you may not need to re-plaster. You could tile the bar stools for an easier "blend" into the existing plaster. Trying to plaster them the same color as the pool may not have the same color results. Besides, it makes the bar stools very noticeable for safety and provides a nice accent contrast. As far as the work planned adjacent to the pool is concerned, your best course of action is to hire a structural engineer to see if it's possible. One who has experience with swimming pools. If the pool is new, the building department would and should have a structural detail of the pool to show particulars such as wall thickness and re-bar used, etc.. Based on an engineer's advice, you can move forward on pricing the job to see if it fits your budget.

You also need a strong area of ground nearby to house the large water fill bag that will be required if you need the pool drained and fixed too ( lots of people forget about that bit )

Main contractor to excavate and leave a prepared basement slab?
Any plans of any description available?
Location? Central London is far more expensive for obvious reasons.
That is a large starting point. Why not have something more conventional such as a 10x5 and if it is well within your budget get upgrade quotes. With modern counter swim machinery and powerful jets to swim against a long pool is not essential for a long swim free from tumble turns. Why you can keep swimming towards a screen with your favourite programme playing with a counter swim unit :-)

Depends on the type of pool you want an any features. A polyblock pool with heat pump, filter etc would start from around £35k. Price will be higher or lower depending on what finish you choose eg. tiles or liner and what type of heating and de-humidification system you choose. Hope you've found some help elsewhere.
