This Swimming Pool and Patio area was built and designed by Natura Design in 2006, it is surrounded by a large tiled terrace which is in turn finished with a low natural stone wall in which we placed some large volcanic rocks.

There is a water feature at one end.

Hi Ron,

Here are some up to date pictures of the pool.

Water was delivered on Monday so work is cracking on again.

Water pump is fine.

The steel has been put in the pool base and the copper wire for the earth has been soldered to it with two one metre copper spikes driven in to the ground to insure a good earth for the electrics.

Each layer of blocks has a 12mm thick ring of metal going through it, the blocks are hollow and then filled with concrete. So in effect the blocks work as a shuttering for the steel and concrete walls of the swimming pool.

I have put in the two swimming pool lights, five inlet jets for the return of the water after filtration, two skimmers, the sump and an extra connection for cleaning the pool. I have added this because, through experience, it´s much easier to clean the pool using a separate connection rather than using the skimmer (better suction).

Could you let me know what shape pool stairs you would like. e.g. curved or square?

A good place to search for property for sale in Lanzarote is a website called Lanzarote Guidebook – as they have a selection of over 1400 villas and apartments for sale.

We have now finished the Salon, it opens on Saturday 11th August.
This shop was originally an internet cafe and has taken us five weeks to completely renovate.

We have built extra rooms, completely rewired and re-plumbed the entire building including the bathrooms. We have re-plastered the walls, re-tiled the floor and painted the shop.

Nearly finished the salon just adding the final touches.
