What are the advantages and disadvantages of a swimming pool kit?

Advantages of kit pools

Due to the many advantages they offer, in-ground pool kits are a real success with customers.
Today, pool kits offer a wide range of customization options. The choice can include the size of the pool, the shape of the pool, the model of the filtration unit, the type of access stairs, the color of the liner, or even the coping stones and paving...

Delivery is also simple and economical since the entire kit (i.e. all the components of the swimming pool) is delivered on 2 pallets: structural panels , support props, reinforcement, stairs , edges , complete filtration unit (filter pump, filter media, pipes, pre-filter basket, projectors, etc.), liner .


The Desjoyaux pool kit is designed to be installed in 7 days (excluding concrete drying time) by 2 people. Being a DIY enthusiast is, of course, an important criterion. Each kit comes with a document scrupulously detailing the assembly steps:

– Step 1: earthworks.
This step includes the tracing of the pool, the excavation and the installation of the retaining pads.
– Step 2: Installation of the structures
The welded mesh is installed before the pool structure (and the filtration unit) is installed, which rests on the support pads. This step ends with the installation of the adjustment props.
– Step 3: Reinforcement and casting
Once the reinforcement of the structure has been completed, the pool can be poured and the base screed and the reinforcing masonry can be laid.
– Step 4: Backfilling the pool
This step is completed by the finishing masonry.
– Step 5: Laying the edges
– Step 6: Installation of the liner, filling and electrical connection
– Step 7: Laying the beaches

Each step will be checked by a Desjoyaux dealer and thus allows you to benefit from the ten-year guarantee on the installation of the swimming pool.
A Do It Yourself project supported by the Desjoyaux local network that allows you to save up to 35% on pool installation.

Another advantage of the pool kit, and not the least, is that all the elements of the kit are independent of each other. Renovation is therefore possible without changing all the components: liner, filtration pump, stairs, filtration unit, pipes, filtration pump, etc.
