The second step includes assembly of the steel panels and stairs, coping receptor, skimmer, and inlets as well as suction and return plumbing.

 

 

Concrete decking and side installation of an inground pool.

 

Most pool builders pour the concrete decking once all of step two is completed but in some cases and with certain water table situations, the liner will be installed before the decking is poured. The pool structure is strong enough to allow installation to proceed in either manner.
