Alright, now this is an interesting question, well you mentioned that 100 cubic meters is allowed in total, so in other words you could buid a pool thats 4.64m wide by 4.64m deep by 4.64m long. Well as another person already said this would be a pritty bug pool but I'm guessing you would'nt go anywhere near this 100 cubic meter limit. Your question regarding the window is a good one and depends at what depth you plan on putting the window as well as the final cubic volume of the pool. Also a 1m x 1m window would be huge and would probably need you to use very thick glass even at a depth of 1 m, but just simply look at the breaking point of certain windows with you dimensions, and see what the pressure is at the depth your looking for. Anyways just wanted to metion this. The other problem is creating the retaining wall, becuase a 100 cubic meter pool would end up weighing 100 tonnes, even if your going with half the size pool you've still got 50 tonnes so that would be a pritty serious retaining wall. Also I know that 50 tonnes is the weight pressing down however I'm sure that regulations state that your wall must support at least 25% of this weight which is still pritty substantial.
Anyways good luck.

By Bernd2 - Sun 16/01/05 15:14:59 GMT Hi all,
I am in the process to buy a house with a quite big garden and I thought it would be a very good idea to build a pool. The local laws allow pools up to 100 cubic meters without permission (oh a miracle...something to build in Germany without a permission!!). Unfortunatly the house is on a small hill, so my garden is not horizontally, so one wall of the pool would be not in the ground. Actually, thats not the real problem. The problem is, that I have the idea now to install a glas windows in this wall. I found many recources on the web how to build a pool but none mention the use of glas. Does anyone know how to dimension the glas with a diameter of 1 x 1 m or a bit bigger?
Best regards Bernd
