Guest zx82 Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hello, I have a friend that would like to put a pool in his livign room but is concerned about the weight of the pool...he lives in an apartment building so in between each floor it's concrete the pool holds 705 gallons (2680 litres) and its diameter is 9 feet and the water will be 21 inches high...i figured that 2680 litres weighs 5,908lbs or 2,680 kilograms.....also the area taht this weight will be on is about 63.6 feet (pi x r = 4.5^2) however i don't know how strong concrete is and whether it will be able to sustain this weight (which seems like a lot to me) any and all help is appreciated! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I wouldn't recommend it. Having about 3 metric tons of water on a non-ground floor level is going to be pushing it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossoi Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Ditto. Speak to the buildings owners. I'm sure they'll agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I don't think they'd be too happy if the thing split and sent water all over the building shorting out a lot of things either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
