Some situations will require us to pour six inches of concrete and this would be discussed before the project takes place.
How thick should a concrete pool wall be.
A concrete pool bottom uses a special recipe that includes more sand less stone along with fly ash slag.
Now the concrete has to cure properly before you can fill it with water.
Concrete thickness for flatwork such as slabs on grade and driveways a minimum thickness of four inches is required but increasing the thickness to five inches can add nearly 50 percent to the load bearing capacity.
They need to be thicker at the top of a pool form where the soil exerts greater pressure.
Our standard slab is a minimum of four inches.
Another is the infinite variety of shapes into which concrete can be molded.
To be structurally sound a concrete pool shell should generally be 6 inches thick.
The concrete is poured 2 4 thick and gets hand troweled to a smooth glass like finish.

On top of that the plaster interior finish should be at least inch thick the pool will also need to meet the ansi apsp standards.
Generally the pool walls need to be between three and four inches thick.
Depending on the engineer and the soil condition it may be more.
