Crane in Pre-Fab CONCRETE POOL - Cheaper! + 2 Day Install!

[@DustToGloryPW]

Edit: I spoke with Plungie about this video and they explained that this video was geared towards other builders, not consumers. So if you’re a builder you can buy this package for around $25,000 then your guys install it. Makes a lot more sense after they explained that to me. Plungie was very helpful and answered all my questions super quick so just wanted to clarify that. Saw this video when you uploaded, reached out to plungie and they sent me a builder here in Dallas where I am, just got quoted $80,000 for the Max installed. Was hoping for $25-35k also we have 2 acres with no trees to go over and plenty of room for a crane to drive in our flat back yard. Just wanted to clarify this wasn’t a hard install problem.

[@Fedgery007]

Oh man. That sounds like it’s way more than what was said in the video.

[@jamestate9180]

Well that's a helluva big difference between 25K and 80K. Like the difference between YES and NO.

80K for a small prefab pool and installation. Yeah, no thanks.

[@aggiewoodie]

My parents’ neighbor installed a pool about this size, in SA, 50 miles south of Austin, but full custom, about the same timeframe as this video, took 6+ months from contract signed to installed. Cost over $75K. Inflation, labor shortages, materials shortages hit pool companies HARD.
