What Can I Expect the Installation Process to Involve?

Have you seen a nuclear bomb? Well not quite, but let's not sugar coat it...pool construction is a major undertaking and is going make a mess in your backyard for the 5-10 days it takes to install a Viking Pool. There is no clean way to excavate 100 tons of soil, bring in 50 tons of sand, dig plumbing & electrical trenches, crane the pool into place, pour 30 yards of concrete sub-deck and then install 20 tons of flagstone decking.

Project schedules are based on scope of work but our basic process involves the following:
Day 1 - Pool Excavation - Sand Delivery - Equipment Delivery
Day 2 - Pool Base installation - Sand Staging - Equipment Set
Day 3 - Run plumbing from equipment to pool side - Pool Shell Installation w/ crane - Electrical hook-up - Plumb pool - Start pool filling / backfilling
Day 4 - Continue backfilling and pool filling
Day 5 - Layout and Form Deck
Day 6 - Required Inspections - Permanent Fence
Day 7 - Pour Deck - Finish Fence if required
Day 8 - Strip concrete forms - final grading
Day 9 - Landscaping
Day 10 - Final Inspection - Enjoy your new pool

What Pool Options Will Enhance My Pool and Backyard?

There are some really great options available in today's pool market that can add some sizzle to your Pool or spa without breaking the bank. Some of the more popular options we recommend to our customers include: fiber optic lights, salt water systems, automatic pool sweeps, massage jets, rim tile and small waterfalls. These items will not only add to the ambiance but they will make the task of owning a pool nearly hands free. Let's face it- the reason you purchase a pool is to add to your quality of living not to add another project to your daily chores. If these items are not in the budget right away, many of them can be added in the future.
