Geofoam – Pool Construction

Pool Construction: Infinity Pools, Spas, and Fountains

When you’re building a pool, the stability and quality of the build are extremely important. Whether you’re building an inground pool, a rooftop spa, or a unique water feature, EPS Geofoam gives you a lightweight, stable foundation that’s easy to work with and built to last.

How Is Geofoam Used in Pool Construction?

Geofoam can help create a strong and lasting pool build in several key ways:

• Void Fill for Uneven Terrain or Sloped Lots
• Structural Support for Elevated or Rooftop Pools
• Backfill Material Behind Pool Walls
• Shaping for Custom Pool Designs or Tanning Ledges
• Lightweight Subgrade to Reduce Pressure on Structures

It’s also valuable for complex pool builds where you might see soil movement, heavy fill materials, or load-bearing issues.

What Are the Benefits of Using Geofoam for Pool Projects?

So, why use EPS Geofoam for your next pool project? There are some large benefits:

• Lightweight: It is more lightweight than traditional fill materials. This makes it easier to transport and install.
• Customizable: EPS Geofoam can be cut and shaped however you like. So everything from curved edges to steps to sloped areas. So, it’s perfect for creative pool designs.
• Reduces Pressure on Retaining Walls: Because of its lightweight nature, it minimizes lateral pressure on pool walls and other structures.
• Moisture-Resistant: EPS is also water-resistant. This makes it ideal for use in wet environments like pools and spas.
• Stable & Long-Lasting: Geofoam won’t settle, shift, or degrade over time. This gives your pool a reliable base for years to come.

Foam pool construction helps your pool perform better and last longer, without as much heavy lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Geofoam and Pool Construction

Can Geofoam be used in wet soil or areas with a high water table?

Yes. EPS Geofoam is closed-cell and is water-resistant. This makes it a solid choice for pool construction in areas with damp or saturated soil. You just need to be sure to include proper drainage systems around the pool area as part of your design.

Is Geofoam strong enough to support concrete pools or decking?

Absolutely. When properly installed and topped with a concrete slab, pavers, or other structural layers, Geofoam can be a sturdy base. It’s commonly used in rooftop pool projects for this reason.

Can Geofoam help with custom pool designs?

Yes! Because foam pool construction is so easy to cut, shape, and layer, it is a favorite among designers for creating unique contours. It can be used for things like built-in benches, tanning shelves, and zero-entry slopes.
