What happens here
After excavation, the in-ground pool shell is installed into the prepared hole. This involves carefully setting the pool shell, connecting all necessary plumbing for the circulation and filtration system (pump, filter, skimmer, returns), and ensuring it is level. Once the shell is in place and backfilled, a concrete apron is poured around the pool's edge, forming the initial part of the pool deck. Any desired features like entry steps or handrails (as seen in the video) should be integrated at this stage.
Goal: Install the in-ground pool and construct its immediate concrete surround.
