River Pools Build Start to Finish

[@Mike137dd-v4r]

That's dream digging! Never find anything close here in New England!

[@RiverPools]

🥳We loved every second of this! Here's to that EPIC first summer with a pool! 🌊🇺🇸

[@ashleybushmanmecham5511]

Thanks for the video!!!

[@pauldavies2188]

Great video was satisfying to watch 🤙

[@UmarMinhas4121994]

Superb done

[@BeckieFox-mi6vf]

We are going into week 12 and ours still isn’t done 😭 so over this process! Hoping it will be completed in about 2 more weeks…

[@ROMA--AETERNA]

Nice to see *rigid PVC pipe* installed. Too many pool contractors use that “flexible PVC” _spa hose_ underground!

[@pkhulk]

Yeah, that wouldn't have made me happy.

[@AntaresStanislas]

I have installed semi-rigid pvc pipes (gray astralpool diameter 50). I can backfill or risk crushing. Height 1.50m

[@tommyuriarte8697]

Why do you left the green tube next to the pool ??

[@BretVZ]

What color is your pool? We're getting Caribbean Sparkle in a few weeks. Hopefully it's as beautiful as yours!

[@pkhulk]

This is the Caribbean Sparkle. Good luck with your new pool!

[@docholiday9562]

What are those white strips around the base of the pool before sitting it in the hole? I’ve seen other pools pre-install, that didn’t have those?

[@mysteryboyee]

I gotta be honest, ive seen a few videos of river pools pools, and they just dont look like well made shells, viking pools however? They make a damn good fiberglass shell, their stuff will last longer then a gunite pool

[@kimhowell358]

What type of gravel was used for leveling and backfill?

[@ankaralymben4112]

some people are really lucky, the garden of the house is big enough to play a football game :) on the other hand, we live in prison in stone buildings.

Hello, I have pool similar to yours but I'm planning to pour concrete around because now is just dirt and grass but I wonder if I need to put coping first and then the rest of the concrete. I notice that your concrete is one piece how it works for you? Definitely the kids have fun with the mud hehehe Thank you in advance.

[@pkhulk]

We had plastic forms attached directly to the pool lip. When the concrete was set, the forms simply snapped off.

[@vickipackham7357]

@@pkhulk That's a clean look without the coping. Did that save you money?

[@pkhulk]

@@vickipackham7357 it didn’t make a lot of difference. But we didn’t want a lip all around the pool.

[@rolo4945]

@@pkhulk what plastic forms are they, we are in NZ not sure if we have an equivalent product here

[@stefanjackson5096]

Can you tell me the size of the entire property? Are you on an acre of land?

[@pkhulk]

It's 1.8 acres

[@I-LOVE-EARTH]

Very Nice! Approx. cost?

[@pkhulk]

With landscaping, and pool shed, it was about $120,000

[@I-LOVE-EARTH]

@@pkhulk ...thanks!

[@Cully4x4]

Great job. What was the model pool (and dimensions) that was installed? What was the approximate final price?

[@pkhulk]

Thanks! It's the D32 from River pools. It's 16 by 32 feet, with a 4 foot tanning ledge. After landscaping and a pool shed, we spent right around 120k.

[@morganescamilla163]

how much cost something like that

[@cmanferrara]

What’s the Final price for this project , thinking about doing the same thing would love some real world end of the job numbers if possible thanks

[@pkhulk]

Between landscaping, a pool shed, accessories and the pool itself, we spent around $130k.

[@tropicalsbigdaddyr53577]

@@pkhulk phew $130K man pools are expensive, I live in Jackson TN, we’re getting an 18x40 rectangle pool with a pool deck put in by a company in Memphis, to save money, we bought a kit, that included all necessary components, luckily we don’t need a pool shed or landscaping done, but with the pool and labor it’ll only be about $40K other places we’ve had estimates done they were talking $60K $80K and even $100K we searched and searched for ways to make it cheaper and finally found one, we’re getting ours soon!

[@pkhulk]

@@tropicalsbigdaddyr53577 DIY can definitely bring down the price. But we were worried that if we encountered any problems (bedrock, sand, etc.) the cost could balloon really fast. I hope everything works out with your project. Good luck!

[@tropicalsbigdaddyr53577]

@@pkhulk we actually got our kit very fast, we expected a little bit of a wait, but nope, it was delivered about 4 days ago, and we have the hole dug and the kit installed, we’re just waiting on plumbing, electrical, and concrete atm, that way we can get started on everything else

[@rvsboatsbyseanmedley8742]

@@tropicalsbigdaddyr53577 I live just south of Memphis. What company did you use for the install? Did you use a kit from a company like Royal Pools?

[@stanleyurena3633]

Hello, what is the square footage of this concrete patio?? I would gladly appreciate it.

[@pkhulk]

It’s 5 feet on each side, except the fire pit side, which is 8 feet.

[@Bruhshhshshdhdhfh]

Is river pools in the uk?

[@pkhulk]

Sorry, no. It's in Tennessee.

[@khoury2]

Hi Kevin, I would like to know in which regions you live and if you had problems with your fiber pool. I hesitate to put concrete under the shell. I live in Quebec and with the winters we have, freezing and thawing, I'm afraid it will break the pool. Have you had any problems so far?

[@DJBazzInc]

Da kann man ruhig mal klatschen!

[@thomasblume1914]

The concrete around is a no go.

[@dominiquegordon8813]

Why

[@PanchosMom]

Freeze, thaw or if ground around becomes saturated concrete can crack and cause shell upheaval. Stone is best bet.

[@shadesofvintageblue]

This music is horrible…

[@josesantos.3237]

That is such a cheap looking pool I would rather not have a pool than that junk these people must be cheap such a big yard but yet a pool so plane Jane

[@vickipackham7357]

Must just be a difference in taste. I find it beautiful in it's simplicity. It also seems that different parts of the country have different design esthetics. I personally don't like the more gaudy pools.
