    Nice idea – I’d make it even smaller, today big pools are a drag on finances and take time to keep looking good – the smaller the better!

    That isn’t happening in texas :-p 16″ down you hit solid bedrock ! LOL Very nice work though 🙂

    Please for the love of god call before you dig. . . .don’t be an idiot.

    It is a pretty pool but the article said “if a membership was to expensive” this pool would cost more than a membership!

    My question is….how do they add that liner? I mean is, how is it secured to the top rim of the pooland how did they find one to fit..OR…did they build the pool TO FIT that size liner?

  6. Marlena says:

    What did they use to make it look blue? A liner?

  7. Dave says:

    Yeah. Simple. The next tutorial might as well be how to perform your own appendectomy.

    rent an excavator for a day, almost anyone can learn to use one easily or if your digging by hand, use a jack hammer to loosen the dirt

    Didn’t look cheap to me….all that concrete..then blocks..plumbing…and tile….looks nice but not inexpensive

      Yes it cost money but compared to having one installed. You could probably build this for under 3k. But to have a pool that size installed could easily by 40K. That price reduction makes it affordable to a lot more people. My father built ours years ago, way before it was the cool, in thing to do.

    Looks nice, but quite a few things were left out that are fairly significant. 1) call before you dig. 2) no photos of drain for the pool (but one is showing in the final). otherwise, you have a mosquito castle. 3) there is a liner to make the pool look blue, but nothing to show how to secure it. Also, if you have ever cleaned a pool, the sharp corners will be a bear to keep clean and with no filtering system all I can say is Good Luck. The first summer will be a blast for a while, then be prepared to expend the savings you made building your own on ER visits and doctor bills trying to cure the bacterial infections.

    lol i like the part where is says, “put in the plumbing”.. uh ..ok! you have to run the pipe to water & another to pump, plus electricity to pump. ” design the pool & get the permits” you’d better learn how to draft eh. .QUICKLY. id have said skip the permit process.

  15. Eden says:

    Please, rewrite this article with a lot more information.

  16. Jason says:

    What did u paint over the block to make it waterproof?

  17. Andrea says:

    P!ease give more information on how to get a liner that fits the pool. Also how did you smooth the concrete in the bottom of the pool so it wouldn’t cut the liner before you put the liner in? Also where’s the drain. You didn’t show where and how the drain was installed.Did you dig the pool hole out by hand or use a tracter? How did you get the ground inside the pool level? Thank you in advance for you the pool idea and for answering my questions.

    Utility locates are up to the homeowner. Utilities keep no records except in public domain. Hire an electrician to fingers u.g. elec. Underground plumbing is more difficult, potholing is the only way to effectively accomplish that. If I were to install a pool, my septic system would have to get located. Grease trap and clean out is easy, but the field is unknown to me.

    Meanness and sarcasm not necessary. Try just asking the person your questions politely.
