So you decided to build your own pool. This is great, but you should think about some things before you start. If you don't take care of these things, you might get into big trouble.

The points you should consider:

• Are you allowed to build your own pool?

• Where do you get the water from?

• Are there any restrictions you should be aware of?

• On what terms are you allowed to build your own pool?

• Where are you allowed to pour the water away?

• Are damages to the pool and the roofing covered by an insurance you already have?

• Are secondary damages covered by an insurance?

• What consequences are there in case of an accident?

• Does your own pool affect taxes?

• Are there any special arrangements?
