How can you resist the temptation of the swimming pool during a heat wave? Difficult, will undoubtedly say the luckiest, who have already had a private pool built directly on their property. For others, often forced to queue in front of the municipal swimming pool, going to the thermal baths can suddenly lose some of its appeal… But that doesn’t mean you have to give it up. And for good reason ! It is possible, quite simply by the way, to have an above-ground swimming pool installed at home. Provided, of course, that a certain number of rules are respected.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, reminds the specialized site DemarchesAdministratives.fr, it is not necessary to go to the town hall to have an above-ground swimming pool installed. Very concretely, this means that the majority of above-ground models (including: inflatable pools, self-supporting pools and wooden pools, for example) can be erected in a garden without requiring any administrative procedure.

However, the most imposing models are likely to require their share of paperwork. This is the case for pools exceeding 10 square meters long or 1 meter high, but also for those installed less than 3 meters from the property. Without forgetting those who stay in the garden for more than three months a year…

If this is the case, you must then contact the town hall of the place of residence concerned. Then send him the Cerfa form n°13703 05. You should then be entitled to a response within a month.
