Paula Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi - can anyone help with the wonderful topic of swimming pools. We have bought a lovely house and a bit of land near to Verteillac in the Dordogne and very close to the Charente border. Our land is sloping and we are in the process of thinking swimming pools (we have done our sums and doubled it)! I wonder if anyone can recommend a good company/person who you have had good service from. As I said our land is sloping so its not a straight forward pool (but what pool is?) and possibly an infinity pool could be a solution (am now tripling cost).Any one got any experience of this type of building work? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesLauriers Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Paula, we used Sarl Nadal of Tocane St Apres, they are 15 miles from you.The cost of a traditionaly built pool was pretty much the same as a prefabricated or panelled one. Many suppliers did not bother to keep appointments let alone supply a devis.We found the quality of work to be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 PaulaWe looked the infinity option but when you think that you will probably have to have an unlovely fence around it...My humble advice is to keep your pool simple. Bon chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poolguy Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 PaulaIf you want to PM me with your details, I'll help you all I can.Basically a sloping site should not present a rpoblem other than a bit of extra cost, in terracing and drainage.But, having said that, every site is different and a comprehensive site survey is mandatory to give any definative advice. There are many issues which need to be decided to own a trouble freepool and certainly it is essential to get a comprehensive understandingof swimming pool ownership and maintenace before you 'take the plunge'.As I said before I'll help if I canAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
