Pool Factory Semi Inground Pool DIY Install

I installed an Oval semi inground pool from The Pool Factory!
It was a lot of work but we saved a lot of money transforming our backyard ourselves!

I love doing projects around my home myself too, you really save a lot of money. You’ll really doing a great job, and it look very nice.

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Thanks! Yea I do try to get quotes before I do anything to help me make the decision if I want to do it myself or not. With the price of things skyrocketing, it has been worth it at least attempting to do things myself

Not gonna lie , i didn't have fate on him bro , Especially after that rain . Nice job , impressive

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Lol thanks lol Trust, I didn’t have faith in myself at that point but I was too far into it lol

[@donovandodd7959]

Hey man good job. My wife and I are about to start pretty much the same process. Thanks for the video. We need all the help we can get. 😅

[@TheNealsNextDoor]

Lol thank you! If you guys have any questions, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them. As long as you have time and patience or a drink of choice, it shouldn’t be too bad!

[@donovandodd7959]

@@TheNealsNextDoor we're to the leveling part- you used gravel to help level- did that workout ok? (I dug little too deep in one area)

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

@@donovandodd7959 soo I used a little bit of dirt I dug up already, then used a tamper try and compact it back down, then I used gravel on top of that to help try and reinforce the area where I put loose dirt. Then a layer of sand on top of it. I live in ga and have the red clay so once it gets wet it usually does a fairly good job getting solid all over again. If you have more of a looser dirt I would probably put a layer of paver base to add more stability in the areas you need it

One of neighbor take a above ground pool buried it pretty much all way to the top and it have concrete pad all round pool it like a inground pool . He told me as long you filled pool with water to top you can buried the pool sides and he did this like 10 years ago still going strong he never have any problems. I don't think it was cheap to do especially the cost of concrete pad deck but it does look really good

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Yea I think ideally as long you keep it filled with water, it should hold the structure especially if you have a pretty solid surrounding dirt. So I think it’s definitely something that’s do able!

[@SparrowStockwell]

It looks great! Bravo!

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Thank you soo much!! and thank you for watching!

[@cadiluv2]

Great job, everything looks really nice. Looking to do the same to my yard with a deck around it. Researching how to cut cost and the best way to do it. Thanks for sharing.

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Thank you and no problem at all. My first plan was to do a deck but my nextdoor neighbor was getting his patio extended and I had gotten a pretty reasonable quote from the person doing his patio so I went with the concrete walkway and we were able to start the next day. At that point, I was already 2 months plus into the project and I just wanted it done lol. It is definitely able to do a lot of the work yourself, I would just start early so you can give your self more than enough time to be done before the swim season. Let me know what you end up doing!

[@cadiluv2]

[@jmenter1]

Nice job. If I see another diy video of some yahoo building a stupid pool out of bricks and cement and fiberglass and paint and tile and whatever else they find to throw at it, ima scream. Buy the kit. Do the work yourself. Very nice finished project, I'd be happy to have that in my neighbor's yard.

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Thank you soo much! Lol it was a lot of work but I did enjoy having a kit and knowing that i would only have to worry about how to landscape around it. Definitely a lot of work but if I had to do it again at another house I would

[@DerekIwasiuk]

I did semi inground. I have issues with liner floating as sometimes the water in the ground is high. Every have that?

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

Nah I haven’t but it might be the type of soil I know. This ga red clay is really solid didn’t have a lot of movement underground even with heavy rain

[@Zack_Johnson]

Anymore information on the led lights on the pool?

[@LetsDoThisDIY]

sorry for the late response! but those lights had actually almost 2 years and that is with me using them all year round every night. They finally started to give out in areas and I switched to this set. amzn.to/3Ja2bNp It has been on there for a few months now and holding up really well even with all this rain we have been having. I still use them nightly and you can probably extend the life if you take them off the timer in the fall and winter but I like the look of it in the backyard.
