if you look at 3rd pool down http://www.pool-express-pools.com.au/in ... rk-II.html (http://www.pool-express-pools.com.au/index.php/Kd-Plus-Mark-II.html)
this is what i would like to do in my back yard i have a few questions hopefully you can help me out
with drainage as you would expect to get water around the pool you would need a slope how much ?
and where do you run the water im thinking a buried tank with a pump in it any other cheaper options
also would you need to build a retaing wall around the excavation
thanks for lookin

you don't give any indication to the layout of the land where the pool is going to go, they look like expensive pools and any fabric breaks down sooner or later from what i have seen.

for drainage in the area you could simply put extra in and connect to your current storm water system, an inground tank might need an automatic pump etc.,. and then you still need to run the water to somewhere. a tank for holding excess water from the pool is also a good idea this gives you some capacity to top up the pool 5k litre size is a good minimum bigger if you have room.
