When I was a kid (many, many years ago), my dad made a pool like this for me. I didn't know it was so much work.... Thank you dad!
dont thank him on the comments thank him in real life (if he is alive)
if not go to his grave and put flowers
No he didn’t.. how did he have access to all the machinery and manpower and materials. He either bought one and had a go fitting it or had one fitted.
Why even say that on TH-cam anyway??

@@farzeenahmed7246
I I am fortunate enough to have a swimming pool in my back garden but she didn’t go on TH-cam telling stupid lies about what I’ve got and what I haven’t you idiot
@@swift2765 ah I see you are an American
So let me get this straight having a pool in the backyard doesn't equate to a happy life or anything and why get mad at someone for saying their father did the same for him so my question what is wrong with you
This was a how to install video as well.

Today on 'How Do They Do It'
Just installed one like this last summer - home improvement $ BURIED in the ground, but surely a necessity! Many thanks for the dirty hard work that went into making it!!
I used to put up pools for a living and my company always used a tanker truck to fill the pool in about 1/2 hour
@@craigjensen6853 when I was a kid we didn't have a pool, now I'm 25 and we don't have a pool
@@josiahlutchman4913 When I was a kid we didn't have water
@@elcheapo5302 oh yea you bet your sweaty ass crack we didn't have water either, had to drive to stand pipe and full up water cans to take back home
@@craigjensen6853 Back in my day all we had was water from the local pond. It took a week and the water was infested with bacteria, so we would have to take another 9 months to replace the children we lost using it. People today are spoiled.
When I was a kid all we had was a bucket. It would take forever and the water was always smelly and yellow, so it took about 15 years before I figured out my butler had pissed in the bucket. My dad would always beat the shit out of me because he would always be missing bottles of expensive liquor. People today are so spoiled.

I don't swim in your toilet, so dont pee in my pool.
So anybody that has a setup like this pool in the video what does it cost you in pool chemicals like on a monthly basis I know you need a floater that has the chlorine or bromine tablets in it.
If you feel about all the way up how long does that last you.
And then like how much for the initial pH balance and all that.
Also what does it cost you to have it heated or do you not heat it at all?
I have one like this it’s small but that only effects water:chemical ratio witch is not that important,
How much does it cost? Not much, you don’t actually need a floater, that only kills bacteria and moss so it’s a good idea to have one but not mandatory, all you you need for chemicals are one to raise the ph, soda ash or sodium bicarbonate, and one to lower it , muriatict acid, more commonly just labeled “pool acid” and they come in bulk for relatively cheep, the biggest expense was the water to fill it, you don’t want the water to be too acidic or too basic, a ph of 7 is perfect for this, an average test kit has enough test fluid to test about 10-20 times, just put the water in the vile and add 1-2 drops, heating isn’t something I did but we did buy a black cover for night which kept the first 3 inches super hot and the rest cold in the morning, heating isn’t something to worry about unless it’s a hot tub because in a pool like this one it would be bulky and two serves little purpose, you’ll get used to the temperature of the water in a few minutes anyways hopes this helps
Oh ya and don’t put it on any form of slope, I did that and a 15 degree angle took away around 5 gallons of water
In addition to always adding regular chlorine you have to Shock the pool when it needs it which is a higher powered form of chlorine. You cannot use the pool when you shock it until the chlorine level drops to normal.
You also need to add Clarifier that helps dirt particles coagulate into larger particles and settle to the bottom for vacuuming.
You also always need test strips or a test kit with reagents to check the alkalinity(ph) and chlorine levels regularly.
You also need the PH Up and PH Down chemicals to adjust the alkalinity. If you let it go too far one way it will speed up the eating of the metal of the pool, let it go too far the other way and it will eat you.
Using a floating solar cover will help to slow the evaporation of the chlorine when the pool isn't in use.
It is cheaper to buy the 3" chlorine tablets in a 5 gallon bucket. Do not let them sit on the bottom of the pool or they will bleach the liner. Either use a float dispenser or just throw them in the overflow strainer.
Always use power for the pump from a GFCI(Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) to avoid electrocution.
If you get an expandable liner for an above ground pool you can make a normal 4 foot pool 5 feet or 6 feet deep if you want. It takes some serious digging though. I've done it twice.
What does the bottom drain connect to???
Nothing. It’s only there so it can leak after a month
The filter...
The bottom drain is connected to the pool filter. The water is pulled through the bottom drain, through the filter to get out any particles/algae, and then recirculated into the pool. The water must be kept constantly circulating to prevent sediment buildup and algae growth on the bottom.
A drain
I should be getting back to work...
Great video......thank you for sharing!
At the end they most likely did that as a prank lol. Usually they fill it with a giant hose connected to a water tanker.
We always filled ours with a garden hose. It took a few days though.
Fascinating. 💚💚
"It's tear resistant"

it was pre cut btw, just "torn apart" after

why you saying this shit?? what you gain from that ?? tryna be edgy or something???
@@AzmiMaulanaHamdani I been swaggin, idk about you tho. Azmi swag meter reading -9/10
Now if only I have the space to have one of these also the money to buy one :)
My mom and uncle bought me and my brothers an above ground pool
The HOA here doesn’t allow them lol...
Good
@@oldcountryman2795 it’s a gray area because you were not allowed to leave kiddie pools up overnight...
That is your fault for being a member of an HOA. HOAs are for people who can't do their thinking and need others to make decisions for them.
fuck hoas
Homeowner's Associations are a fucking joke.
Nice!
Love ground pools 💞👀
After having an inground pool I would say this is better. Easier to clean, move or get rid of.
That is definitely true although it may not look as nice.
Fun fact the pool is still filling up. :)

I like this
Good 👍
Where does the bottom drain lead water to?
I guess to a filtration machine so that water can be reused.
China
A pipe system
To the filter...
in an in-ground, to the filter. in this type, either to the filter or downhill for drainage.
Thanks for making these cool videos
"If I'm curt with you, its because time is a factor."
*I wanna see how it's made is made*
Its not real it was a myth this whole time
Interesting 🤎💛🖤🤍
I did this but with only one person helping me.....it's not easy doing it with 2 people but we did it.....sold it 5 years later, too much headache with algae and chemicals
Every teenager should watch shows like this

If you pay for the premium service plan they will take it directly from the factory to the landfill to save you a year and a half of hassle. 😆
It blows my mind they used an ordinary garden hose!!
yes, so glad he specified an *ORDINARY* garden hose!!
I only use outrageous garden hoses
@@christopherbonanno1120 well, we ain't all uppity like you, lol!
that's gonna take hours to fill that way.
Well keep getting your mind blown
So we have the biggest above ground pool and the workers wouldn’t come to put the pool up cause they apparently don’t like to do their job so we had to put it up ourselves and it was really annoying, the first day we had a lot of people but it was really windy then the second day it was like 3-5 of us and that pool holds like 26,000 gallons of water and took like 3 whole days to fill up
Fire 🔥 video keep it up
Do they make double wide trailers too?
Why? Do you want to upgrade from your single wide?!
"...and an antifungal treatment.""
But what antifungal solution?
"WOW"
There's a "water inlet", but they fill it with a hose thrown into the pool.
That’s for the filtration system, you still need to get water into the pool and then slowly treat the water with pool chemicals until it’s ready to use as a pool.
People that criticize other's work, while having zero idea how any of it actually works, are actually less than worthless.
I didn't know these were made so cheaply
@I Curse Your Village properly maintained, we’ve definitely seen these last about a decade lol
@@nicholasalexander5453 The pools themselves will actually last longer than that without much maintenance, so long as you buy a quality one. My grandmother only just got rid of hers after 26 years. The pool itself only needed one relining in that time, and that was us kids fault. The pump and filter both needed replacing twice in that time though, and when they died this last time after only 4 years (dont buy used pool equipment, that was a hassle and a half) she decided enough was enough and had the whole lot hauled off. That pool easily could have been there another 10 years no problem with new equipment.
@@bigoljoe1829 the issue is the person I replied to deleted their comment. If I remember correctly, he said you’d have to buy a new lining every other year. They’re rated for 7-15 years, but my point was more to that if you want a lining that looks “like-new” then about a decade is usually the true life for it to look crisp. We have customers that have had the lining last slightly over 2 decades, though. Usually around that 10 year mark, it just doesn’t look “like-new” anymore. Usually because of improper maintenance. We actually have one customer (an older lady) that says that she’s had her’s since 1990, but I seriously don’t believe it because of how the lining is a more modern style.
New day new things%
Thank god you learnt how to say ‘pool’ correctly before the end of the video
"cuts vinyl panels for the pool's water retaining inside surface." ( yeah, you mean a pool liner 🤔🤣)
She said vinyl because that's what it's made of pool liners are made of different materials
@@wildlifewarrior2670 pvc and vinyl are used to make liners. Obviously it was vinyl. My parents have had an above ground pool since we were kids in the 80s. Their pool has always had a vinyl liner since then. I'm only being sarcastic because, I'm from Jersey and sometimes I forget that not everyone has common sense, which seems to be rare at times.
@@Dirtnap_McDinglestuffer sure

Some one can reply me please
That how much it cost to make this pool?
Probably about 6,000 idk 🤷♂️
~2700 USD for the install based on the average for the US (1700-6000, depending on size, with around 2700 as the mode), and the kits for the pool range from 700-3000, based on a quick search. so, the 6000 estimate is pretty spot on. if you got it cheap you could do it for 2400, but it really depends on size, expected lifespan and materials, and your area. Also, from experience, pool maintenance costs are from 300-1000 per year. That includes chemicals and updates, but not repairs. The ladders are also anywhere 50 to 500 and are generally not included, and you need to factor in ground levelling in most areas as an unevenness you wouldn't notice will be super noticeable with a pool. So, realistically, 6000 to 8000$ for the first year, and up to a grand ever year after. That's before the optional deck, safety gear, and inevitable repairs. Also, since these are typically drained in winter, you need a cover that's made for them, which range from 30-450 but generally for an above ground are under 200. A good safety cover is more expensive though... and you need to factor in insurance increases... so yeah, very expensive. Oh, and you may need an electrician to run out the power for the pump. Pumps are typically wired into the house for in-grounds but IDK on above-grounds.
This aint a walmart pool lol
Seriously, has anyone *ever* looked at an above ground pool and said "I wonder how they make above ground pools"?
I want one too 🤗
Is there such a thing as indoor swimming pools?
Yes or no?
NO, SHIT...,??? THEY FILL IT WITH WATER...????💜
Sometime they fill it with human blood
This is a part of my childhood

How its made
Dont tie your dog to it
"Thats some funny shit"
4:00 drill still in plastic wtf?
Because its an electric tool, and they're pool techs. Installing new pools isn't the only job they do, and if they're anything like the ones that installed mine, they aren't scared to work in the rain. The electric tools stay wrapped in plastic to protect them from water during wet jobs. It in NO WAY looks even close to remotely like factory plastic wrap so I dont know how you'd possibly be dumb enough think it came like this out the box and he never unwrapped it...? Named "dirtyworkz" and needed this explained? Thats extra special...
@@bigoljoe1829 calm your tataas
We had one when I was a child.
Dude it’s pronounced pool not pole
Why do people complain so much in the comments on these videos?
We do this ourselves for $150 at Walmart.
+Way less complicated/-Much less quality!
😆
*HELP!!!*
How do I determine if I have a garden hose or
if I have an *ORDINARY* garden hose??!!
If you have to ask then your garden hose is most likely outrageous, or at the very least silly...
Hmm...why they use galvanized steel instead of stainless steel? You'd think stainless is best because galvanized rusts
Pls tell me how is my country India 👍
