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!!!! 🎉
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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!
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?
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
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.
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
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 TH-cam subscribers
Wow, how wonderful to see a family unit building such a fabulous pond slash swimming pool. Lots of love and much happiness to you. Even fur baby is happy ❤ God bless
This is a beautiful swimming pool. Pricey I'm sure but way nicer than pools you see in most private homes. Great memories will be made and have been made with your family. Have a Blessed day.
What a beautiful pool. I love how you got to spend time with your dad doing this, wonderful memories you have to cherish. And you have it on video. So nice. Looks do peaceful.
Enjoy that time with your dad. Looks like a great property. I lost my dad when I was 24 about 6 years ago and there have been a lot of projects and babies he hasn't been around for to see.
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.
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 :)
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 🤷♂️
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.
This is the one that got me to your channel. We bought 5 acres and looking to turn our tiny pond into a small pool. Lol i am glad i watched all of the videos prior to this one.i know it took you guys some time to get to this point. See you in the future. 😂 Still trying to catch up.
What a great family project. A place for all to hang out and beat the heat from the hot summer temperatures. Ya all give me inspiration to go out and build my own natural pool. Now if only I could find that many strapping young men to build it for me. 😅❤
My wife n I are poised on building our own Natural pool. I have all the equipment and experience to do it. And we have the land. Honestly I dont know why we haven't done it sooner I think we had been holding out to maybe buy a lake front property But lakefront property is crazy expensive now. So are going to make our own Natural pond. Great Video.
Yeo, I agree! It's fantastic and must be beautiful to swim in! If I had my time over again, I would never have put in a chlorine/salt pool (we've had both!). This is definitely the way to go.
You have every reason to be proud. This is probably the most innovative and incredible DIY project that I have witnessed to date. I can't imagine how many nights you laid down with an aching back during this process. Job well done and I know that you will enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Love the pool! Looks amazing, I do have one question though... Wood rots, even pressure treated so am I missing something or will that just be part of the maintenance & upkeep each year?
@@denisciocan880- So true. It’s freshwater as well. There are wooden shipwrecks in the Great Lakes that are incredibly well preserved because of the depth, lack of oxygen & parasites, and fresh water. (Not sure how fresh water factors in vs salt water). The white oak is one of the woods many ships were made of for the fact it is resistant to rot.
good job. I think I would put 2 bike flags on the corner to the entrance. You know someone drunk is going to want to dive in from the side and dive head first into all that wood
Looks more like a giant lily pond than a swimming pool. Is that Georgie clay you were digging?? I just know this is going to be beautiful when finished!!
Brilliant video and presentation ..... absolutely love the pool ..... ive bought the book and now im just waiting for my wife to go away on holidays before i start digging :)
Hi guys, totally love your pond build and see your wall idea! This just possibly be my answer helping me with my already dug farm pond. What kind of wood did you use and how high are your walls? Thanks again for your father and son video. God bless
@@tallyrc why is it wood log trees can last 100's years underwater and they don't rut . .i think wood would rut if it mix with water and oxygen if it underwater it shouldn't rut that what I'm guessing
It’s white oak. It’s resistant to rot and there’s minimal oxygen under the water so the wood rots even slower. That’s how logs can be under the water for hundreds of years. If oxygen/air was getting to it the process increases almost exponentially. That wall is likely to outlast even the son with little decay.
Pro guess. Shallows are there so you 1. Can have purifying plants. 2. Animals gets an easy escape. It's essentially a close to maintaineance free pool. I'd like one of those in the future when i can afford a piece of land.
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.

Lol....all of the questions I was going ask.
That turned out beautifully!!!
Father and Son thing got me.
That is wonderful ❤
What about skeeters?
Where are you? I've never seen dirt that red.
と
Guess it's very dense
Doing all of this with your dad together must be one of the best experiences
Punji great videos man ❤
I love your vids!
Baby ur turn to school and procedures for one of us w atchman and how to get the 🎉😅

@@coachmiami Fabiosa Media is interested in licensing some of your videos. How can we get in touch with you?
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!!
Wall is to contain the gravel filtration
Exactomundo!

That's pretty awesome! But I don't understand what the purpose of the wooden wall inside is.
That’s what I’ve been scouring the comments for
Same!
Retaining wall to keep gravel and rocks at bay. Helps maintain deep area.
@@crisvega7588 why not a rock wall that wont rot away?
No and lumber is so expensive and will soon rot away..

@@russellargo58nothing like that
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
Also, how quickly does the wood rot?
Awesome pond build, now you get to fill it with plants, let nature take over, and enjoy every second of it!!
Somebody is gonna break somethin jumping onto that wooden wall in the pool.
That's what I thought to. Not sure what purpose the wood served. I thought it would be better without it
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 TH-cam subscribers
Same here
Same thought here!
Not really that’s a planting area for aquatic plants 🪴
That was so cool! Thanks for filming the experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!

This is a beautiful swimming pool. Pricey I'm sure but way nicer than pools you see in most private homes. Great memories will be made and have been made with your family. Have a Blessed day.
Looks amazing! Why did you put in the “walls” and will they rot since they weren’t painted or treated?
Seems dangerous too
it is very weird
That's my question. They are putting a lot of wood under water, even the pump box was wood.
Please remove the wall.
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.
What a beautiful pool. I love how you got to spend time with your dad doing this, wonderful memories you have to cherish. And you have it on video. So nice. Looks do peaceful.
Enjoy that time with your dad. Looks like a great property. I lost my dad when I was 24 about 6 years ago and there have been a lot of projects and babies he hasn't been around for to see.
This is my dream. Not necessarily the pool but it is awesome. My dream would be to have property like this to do whatever you want.
You may, just put your mind into it and you'll have anything you want.
Mine too! Will make it a sanctuary for unfortunate animals!!
I have to say, you did a brilliant job and the pool looked magnificent.
Congratulations to you and may you have lots of fun for many years to come!
A LOT of work goes into making that but the results speak for themselves! What a cool and beautiful place you've created! Job well done.
What a nice family project and cool way to spend the day
That looks absolutely beautiful well done 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a wonderful family project. Made me smile😊😊
Us too! We have very much enjoyed the process!

beautiful! and that water color is so naturally amazing)))
It really is!
That is such a nice pond! That is literally my dream to have a super nice place to swim like that. Great work
Your son is so down to earth ❤ and is super knowledgeable!! I love nature and this is a dream of mine to build this!!!
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.
video rất hay ❤❤ cám ơn chú đã chia sẻ nhé ❤❤ chúc chú luôn gặp nhiều may mắn ❤❤❤
Please protect the wildlife
Absolutely beautiful congratulations on such a wonderful job
Thank you so much!
Amazing!! Congrats to you all
Thank you!!
By Far The Most Amazing Pool I Have Ever Seen!
This is the one that got me to your channel. We bought 5 acres and looking to turn our tiny pond into a small pool. Lol i am glad i watched all of the videos prior to this one.i know it took you guys some time to get to this point. See you in the future. 😂 Still trying to catch up.
That sure is some bright orange earth!
It’s fun seeing the kid coming out of you and your son!
What a great dad you are ❤
Pool turned out amazing!
What a great family project. A place for all to hang out and beat the heat from the hot summer temperatures. Ya all give me inspiration to go out and build my own natural pool. Now if only I could find that many strapping young men to build it for me. 😅❤
My wife n I are poised on building our own Natural pool.
I have all the equipment and experience to do it.
And we have the land.
Honestly I dont know why we haven't done it sooner
I think we had been holding out to maybe buy a lake front property
But lakefront property is crazy expensive now.
So are going to make our own Natural pond.
Great Video.
how long will that wood framing last? looks so fun
Not very.
That was my concern. Might've been wiser to put it under the liner.
Really depends. There are wood framed hot springs all over the west coast that have had the same beams underwater for decades.
birch can last 50+ years underwater
not birch but hemlock, looked like it
Never seen anything like this wow I'm pretty sure this is the future of pools
😂🤣😂🤣

Absolutely beautiful! Just curious. I live where copper heads, moccasins and timber live. How would I keep these critters out?
Can't. Every Cottonmouth in my area would be in there. And they are very territorial.
@@melanielinkous8746 Should be an easy place to trap them then.
Mad as a box of frogs 🐸🐸🐸!!!
Oh, finalmente una biopiscina con delle dimensioni come Dio comanda! Bravi!
Good on ya guys, enjoy your pool have fun and enjoy summer. 🎉
Such a sweet doggo. I had to let my chocolate lab go a couple weeks ago. She was 15 I miss her a lot.
good to see how you are living ryan and the family
🇨🇦 All I can say is
“I want one too!”😊
GREAT !
Love this. Makes it even more special that you all built it together!
Great video! The only concerning thing for me would be not knowing where the wall of 2x6's are when jumping in. That would really hurt!
I like your twists on the “natural pond” it’s def different
Love the project, thanks for sharing.
I'm envious, I wish I had the time and resources to put something like this together.
Love the pool! Looks amazing, I do have one question though... Wood rots, even pressure treated so am I missing something or will that just be part of the maintenance & upkeep each year?
It's white oak , it won't rot easily besides rotting needs oxigen and there isn't much underwater

Theres no maintainence, unless its for youtube monetary content purposes. 😂
Wow.. beautiful and so much fun! The pupper was there thru the whole process.. ❤
these natural pools are awesome
I love this! You guys did an amazing job! The awesome "family" energy this is giving ....I have no words, just fantastic!
Nice job 😊 and beautiful property!
FANTASTIC JOB !! I thoroughly enjoyed the GREAT video you did. Thanks. 👍👍
Thank you very much!
What a great place for family fun! Beautiful!
So nice to see how youthful and fun you guys are!!!!
Watching from Mew Zealand! Wow!! 10/10 pool ... Add a Slide :)
this is so cool
This is awesome! Love the inside wall. You can walk and sit on it. Very cool.
How aesthetically appealing
That came out wayyyy nicer than I expected. At first I was like "uhhh yeah mean a pond", but no that's truly a swimming pool and much nicer than most.
So cool! Y’all will have years of fun out of that! Good job
I def think the pup loves it the most
That's so amazing... Especially woth how drying chlorine is
good job. I think I would put 2 bike flags on the corner to the entrance. You know someone drunk is going to want to dive in from the side and dive head first into all that wood
Now this is a cheap but efficient pool build all natural just a skimmer but all natural perfect.
I hope you paused the recording to put that fire 🔥 out
Lol
Great job
Beautiful place and pond ❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful swimming spot you created!
Awesome, you've created a fine bit of paradise.
Very classy and appropriately placed musical choices, my friend, each and every tune!
That is nice to have in your front yard!

May it be enjoyed by many generations to come…😊
I absolutely love it!!!!! I wish I could jump in!!!! love the dog too!!

Love this!! Always wanted too. I saw this in a old mother earth magazine I think.
