ABSTRACT:
An in-ground swimming pool is thermally insulated from its surrounding excavation floor and walls by a layer or bed of granular fill material comprising preferably volcanic cinders providing thermally insulating pockets of entrapped air between excavation and pool walls. According to one method of construction, a bed of granular fill material is laid along the bottom of the oversized excavation. A wire mesh screen is erected along the sides of the excavation but spaced inwardly therefrom at the outer perimeter of the pool sidewalls to be formed to provide a space between the excavation sidewalls and the outer perimeter of the pool sidewalls, and such space is filled with the granular fill material. Finally, the pool walls are formed by spraying a gunnite or other cementious material against the wire mesh screen to build up the desired pool wall thickness.
