I built a Natural Swimming Pool | Full Construction Process

[@coachmiami]

OK- to answer all these questions... If you go back and watch the installation videos you would see that the wall is holding aback about 40 TONS of gravel and rock. I take the wall out and everything slides to the swimming area. Also - the plants that help keep the water crystal clear stay outside the wall and you swim inside the wall. Hope that helps. Oh. And the wall will not rot. To rot you need oxygen and there is not enough under water. Plus the wood is white oak which is very resistant to rot. (And very very heavy!) And about the Natural part. It is called a natural swimming pool because we use nature to keep it clear not chemicals. (I didn't name it - there are lots of different ways to do it!) Finally - the chance of snakes is quite small. They would much rather be down in the lake where it is quiet! Thanks for all the comments and so sorry we can't answer every one!

Wow! When i was little my parents built a swimming pond 1/4 of the size... they added a wooden deck and had fish and water lillys. We were able to enjoy the water and they enjoyed coffee on the deck. It was a dream! My dad passed away a few years ago and when this came up it made me cry so hard! What a special time to build this together AND enjoy! It looks incredible in every way!!!! 🎉

[@ungofisher4895]

May your father RIP I lost my dad awhile ago but still seems like it was just last year its hard to have someone you spent so very much time with be gone.

[@PunjiBTD6]

Doing all of this with your dad together must be one of the best experiences

Enjoy those memories with your dad. I'm 33 and mine passed away at 77 years old, 2 months ago. Swore I had more time with him. Was unexpected. This brought happiness and sadness seeing you and your dad playing in the pool.

[@jenniferpaige4034]

Ok. Here's my two cents on the wall. First off, this pool is still in it's early stages. The wall is to indicate where the actual pool is and it's a fun place to jump from considering the deepest point is the center. Notice the two fellas didn't swim outside the wall, they were inside the wall, that's the pool. Which leads to me to think that their intention is have aquatic plants fill in that space around the wall which will create a more natural "pond" like setting in time. Whatever it is, the entire thing is wicked cool and it looks fantastic!

[@coachmiami]

You got it! There are plants and even goldfish there now!

[@user-fabiosamediapartner]

@@coachmiami Fabiosa Media is interested in licensing some of your videos. How can we get in touch with you?

[@SelaLucero]

I don't mind the wall it is a good sitting ledge to lodge, and also to jump/dive from. I think this swimming hoke is beautiful!!

[@queenbee9505]

Wall is to contain the gravel filtration

[@hoovesandpawsanimalrescue]

Exactomundo!

[@raymondrod6448]

That is so badass!what makes it even more badass is that you guys built it yourselves as a family.

[@Buck_Buchanan]

Wood rots from repeatedly getting wet, then dry. If certain wood stays wet it'll never rot. Have you ever seen the show swap loggers? The logs they recover diving in a river have been under that water for HUNDRED of years and is in pristine condition 🤷‍♂️

[@kristinal-ghoul2680]

That's pretty awesome! But I don't understand what the purpose of the wooden wall inside is.

[@monsignormustache316]

That’s what I’ve been scouring the comments for

[@KathySwampQueen]

Same!

[@crisvega7588]

Retaining wall to keep gravel and rocks at bay. Helps maintain deep area.

[@IronskullGM]

@@crisvega7588 why not a rock wall that wont rot away?

[@philtucker1224]

No and lumber is so expensive and will soon rot away..

[@nathanhatcher7096]

This is the way i see it, beautiful, well done, and practical!! So much comments on regarding the wood used, there a local saw that purchased reclaimed pine logs that have been submerged for over 100 year! Once they are mill and dry they produce some of the best wood solid for cabinets and furniture i have ever seen! And not only are they acting as retaining walls that hold rocks in place they also provides filtering for the water naturally. Sure there different ways this project could have been done but it fair to say that this project is done in a way that sense to him and me! Well done my friend!!

[@Bo-qo7xt]

The wood wall will last longer than any of us will or our grandkids and their grandkids and so on. A lot of furniture was made by wood that was submerged underwater for over 100 + years.

[@vladrtm]

that is correct. Just never leave the wood outside the water line - that is to be read, don't dry out the pool as exposed wood that has been submerged will fall into pieces fast :)

[@nicolekastner7607]

Knowing nothing about pool building, I am curious what is the point if the wooden wall? Would your pool have worked without that? Is it something structurally necessary?

[@russellargo58]

i think if you swim at the middle and you're tired and knowing that the center is deep, you have a wall nearby that you can hold on to or sit there to regain your strength. something like that

[@DFlash2012]

i build regular home pools, the walls in my opinion are like a retaining wall for all the rocks they put, and probably so people can get in and out by knowing where the swimmable spots are. if it was me i would do without the walls, still pretty cool.

[@cry_now_laugh_later]

@@russellargo58nothing like that

[@crabkilla]

Wood walls help define the deep swimming area and also act as a retaining wall for the shallow wetlands. You can do without and use boulders or more slope

[@MyPAUL71]

Also, how quickly does the wood rot?

[@denisewiebrimmer454]

What a nice family project and cool way to spend the day

[@Harry1s]

I'm not a pool expert by I think putting wood in the water was a bad idea and I think keeping some of those trees so close will be a pain in the butt when trying to keep the pool clean. Love the idea and design though! **Update** I just saw your update vid and you corrected me on the wood being used in the pool. Make sense now. Thanks!

[@Godsforever1]

beautiful! and that water color is so naturally amazing)))

[@FollowThePhillips]

It really is!

[@northernfishmother]

Awesome pond build, now you get to fill it with plants, let nature take over, and enjoy every second of it!!

[@TheIan818]

Looks amazing! Why did you put in the “walls” and will they rot since they weren’t painted or treated?

[@beautybyleanne76]

Seems dangerous too

[@johnmichaelkarma]

it is very weird

[@MyLibertyTV]

That's my question. They are putting a lot of wood under water, even the pump box was wood.

[@allenph2005]

Please remove the wall.

[@KifKroker]

for rot you need oxygen+water. But yes over a long time it will break down, but not nearly as fast as you would expect.

Lol how you going that you can see wood wall in water . If someone does hurt them self they are stupid and shouldn't be swimming . Wow people love to complaining about someone else hard work and they think they could do a better job. I love couch KZbin subscribers

Not very.

[@eljaysmiley]

Really depends. There are wood framed hot springs all over the west coast that have had the same beams underwater for decades.

Great- in a way. I do not know how long the wooden interior wall will last. Could end up dangerous in years to come. Also a fair bit of plastic liner seems to be showing on the top edge. But I also appreciate that it is only just finished and the coverage of the exposed plastic can be addressed.

Won't the wooden wall rot? Even pressure treated wood wouldn't last long. Would a concrete wall been better? Still a cool pool.

Lol@concrete . He not building a in ground swimming pool. And if wood underwater it should be fine .shit wood log trees last 100's of years underwater. I think if wood is mix with water and oxygen it ruts that why you see a lot of homes get water rut cuz of oxygen
