Inground Swimming Pool

Pools

While an in-ground pool may not be very useful for swimming during the GSM, this does not mean they are useless!

Alternative uses for pools

• Building a greenhouse over an old pool and you have yourself a mini geothermal greenhouse! Old windows or glass doors can be placed in a pyramid configuration over the pool as a basic example.
• Depending on location/setup, it may be possible to use the pool as a small reservoir. This would have sanitation factors, of course.
• With available materials, an empty pool can be covered to create below-ground storage space.

Any attempts at re-using such a hole should consider stability! A pool with a soft liner may not be very stable without the water holding the sides up and could pose a SERIOUS cave-in risk!
