At RDLG Joinery & Renovations Ltd, we excel at creating stunning outdoor spaces that bring joy and relaxation to our clients. Recently, we had the pleasure of installing an outdoor swimming pool and building composite decking around it for a customer. The project was a collaboration with a trusted supplier who provided a high-quality swimming pool featuring an optional powered water current. Here’s a detailed look at how we processed the job and delivered a delightful result for our customer.

Initial Planning and Coordination

The project began with a thorough consultation to understand the customer’s vision for their outdoor oasis. We discussed the pool specifications, the design and materials for the decking, and any specific requirements they had. With a clear plan in place, we coordinated with our supplier to ensure timely delivery of the swimming pool.

Swimming Pool Installation

The installation of the swimming pool was straightforward and went smoothly. The pool, equipped with a motor to provide a constant water flow for enhanced swimming experience, was placed in the designated area. Our experienced team ensured that the installation was done efficiently, following all safety and quality standards.

Building the Composite Decking

The next phase involved building the composite decking around the pool. This task required meticulous planning and execution to ensure durability and aesthetics. We chose composite decking over wooden planks due to its longevity and low maintenance requirements. However, we faced the challenge of preventing weeds from growing underneath and through the composite planks.

To prevent weeds from growing under the decking, we took several preventive measures:

  • Ground Preparation: We thoroughly prepared the area under and around thn pool.
  • Weed Barrier Installation: A high-quality weed barrier fabric was laid down to inhibit weed growth.
  • Proper Spacing and Sealing: Composite planks were carefully installed with proper spacing and sealed to prevent any gaps where weeds could sprout.

Once the weed prevention measures were in place, we proceeded with the installation of the composite decking. The process involved:

  • Framing: Constructing a sturdy frame to support the decking.
  • Laying Composite Planks: Installing the composite planks over the wooden framework, ensuring they were securely fastened and evenly spaced.
  • Finishing Touches: Adding finishing touches such as trim and edging to enhance the overall look and feel of the decking.

Customer Collaboration and Satisfaction

Throughout the project, we maintained open communication with the customer, keeping them informed of our progress and any adjustments needed. Our dedication to meeting their expectations and delivering high-quality work resulted in another delighted customer who loved the transformed outdoor space.
