The pool drawing. You can draw your pool yourself it is not hard but if you are not use to draw drawing and count scale it will probably take awhile. Do not count on getting it right the first time. The easiest way to draw the pool is probably to use a CAD program on the computer, if you are not comfortable with computers you can draw it by hand. Remember the scale has to be 1: 8.00 which means 1 inch on your drawing is 8 feet in real life. Mark diameter and distance to wall and house on the drawing. When the pool is going to be drawn on the ground, it is drawn 6 inch wider then on your drawings because of the shell. Make sure you have that in mind so there are no inch missing. Those small inches made the difference of a big or a small grotto for us. So maybe it is a good idea to draw them in one of your drawing, the one that you keep for yourself just to make sure everything is going to fit and still have the distance. Mark where North are and the scale. Do also attach a drawing on how you want your pool depth to be.
Measure.
Measure your backyard and draw it. If you using your lot drawing observer that the walls around the yard might decrease the "actual" area of your yard, so to be on the safe side start with measure your yard by yourself. If you have a patio draw that and if it has columns you need to draw those too. I was told that if our pool was going to be closer then 5 feet to the patio columns the pool where going to need extra steel reinforcement, which means a special engineering drawing and more steel. Mark where the entrance are and how wide the access gate is. Is there something that narrows the way down like AC draw them in too and put out the distance.
Shape.
Look into pool stores and go online to look on different shapes. When you drawing your own pool it can have the most strangest shape but if you are going to sell the house in the future it's maybe a good idea to not go too extreme. The easiest way is to buy a circle temples and draw circles in different shapes next to each other and then connect them to an all over shape.
More about drawings later.
