Why use wood? Not rocks & gravels

@francismann5395 23 күн бұрын

How much wood did you use? How many rows?

@smart-sloth-1630 Ай бұрын

Maybe I missed it in the video, but how did you fasten the wood to the ground so that the foil stays intact and the wood does not float?

@jonathanmcmahon2214 Ай бұрын

The wood is locked in place with the gravel backfill.

Before the industrial revolution, we in Europe ( Belgium) used to soak the trees for construction ( local hardwoods )10 to 15 years in the swamps to make them hard as steel. Our churches, cathedrals , castles still stand, ( some have had some restoration). Rest assured this pool will outlast the builders. Great job people 👌

Hi. Amazing video. I learnt many things and I have a real project to try something like this. Do you have any place I can find information about your choice? How do you filter every thing? How work your pipes? Did you have problem if a lot of people come for holidays? Any interresting feedback is welcome. Good job guy! I just find your other videos !!! Thank you!!!

@bry2k 4 ай бұрын

This was a pretty neat idea. It would be interesting if you made another video narrating this and talking about the building science that motivated you to try this. I wonder how long it will last? I think it would have been cool to put a mixture of slate and smooth/tumbled rocks and sand on the floor of the pool instead of gravel, and perhaps some aeration plumbing underneath in a few spots, and perhaps UV lamps in the filtration system to control algae (although those lamps do get expensive). Did you use sand filters for the filtration? Was this more or less expensive than a regular pool with rebar and shotcrete? How much did all that pine cost? Sorry for all the questions! 😁

how do keep the wood from rotting? thanks .. beautiful work by the way😎👌

@mbomam89 4 ай бұрын

Wood that is constantly under water shows almost unlimited durability. It will never rot. You can buy wood such as "Fossil Oak", which has been under water for several hundred years. It is very expensive.

Great project. Not sure I would have the guts to try out the whole "wood not rotting under water" principle. However, more interested in how you prevented bacteria buildup, making the pool a haven for microorganisms and algae without chlorine or salt water? Just circulating the water does not seem to be sufficient usually.....?

Cool video, but seeing as the wood isn't treated, or lackered or have any weather protection or water proofing. I give it a year to 2 years before it has to be drained. There's a reason wood isn't used for pools and that's because it will ultimately work then rot away.

@@mbomam89 The wood he's using isn't treated, or anything. Wooden fences in rainy areas have to be replaced about every year or it starts rotting. Also most docs aren't made with logs anymore. They use concrete reinforced with metal barbs.

@@mbomam89 It rots in water. Wooden boats had to be painted to prevent it from rotting. Wooden docks the beams in the water may take longer to completely rot away because they are thick logs but they eventually did. Then people started using cement and rebar because it doesn't rot in the water.

Wouldn’t you get splinters from the wood and it breakdown over time? Have any animals wound up in the pool ? ..It looks cool✅

@Redstoneprofi01 Ай бұрын

He probably sanded all the wood so there won't be splinters, and for wood to rot it needs air, which it doesn't get under water. Cities like venice and hamburg also have districts standing completely on wood logs in the water for 200 years and also never broke
