- My detailed time-lapse video shows the complete swimming pool building process, start to finish, in just 30 minutes (version with music: • Swimming pool construc... ). It will give you a good idea of what it takes to put the swimming pool
in your own backyard. I'm sure it will inspire you to turn your dream into a reality!
If you want to see our pool one year after it was built go to: • How to build your own ...

I’ve always wanted a pool. I thought it would be so time consuming to do it myself, but I’m glad to find out it only takes 30 minutes!
Me too, that’s my next project, lol
I wish I had two more hands so I could give that joke 4 thumbs down.
@@Scottstunts burn! your so clever!! 🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao…🤣🤣
Boy , do I remember doing this for many years in So. Fl. back in the 60's thru the 90's! Building code at the time specified steel re-bar 6" on-center for anything 5' or deeper but I see this pool was only 12" o.c. We would run the steel up the floor radius also as an added measure of strength and protection against shell splitting. Never had one fail in all the years I built pools for the company. Wow, what memories!
Hello, 2024 here and hope you are still around and well. Since you are a professional pool builder, I thought you might be interested in what's going on with the pool builders in Texas. Apparently, approximately 21,00 pools have failed due to a certain mixing ingredient ommited from the cement mixtures. Pools have developed cracks throughout the structure and developed unfixable leaks. Search Texas Pool Cancer for video footage.
i do concreting for a job and i always wondered why people would stop and watch us working. when i watch videos of the work we do it's mesmerizing. watching them shape the pool from a pile of crappy looking mud into the pool shape is like magic.
It's earth shaking, earth moving work. Definitely mesmerizing.
It's natural for every kid growing up to have fun watching men work. All I watch now is concrete driveways and swimming pools being built, watch guys cutting tall grass, etc., etc.
it's cool to see a skill in someone when the world knows there's a 'time limit' on concrete and cement.

Never knew watching pool construction would be so addictive. I thoroughly enjoyed that….may have to watch another pool video now
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Build your own pool with a bus load of skilled craftsmen
I can't believe I watched every second of this. it was worth it though.
Same here

It really was...and oddly enough I have no plans to build an in-ground pool because I rent from a duplex. I simply came here to learn more about proper pool care because I recently bought (with neighbors' consent) a $100 Wal-mart brand cheapo 15 ft. x 3.5 ft. deep pool. I was intrigued, though, because I have plans to better myself and my family, and a pool is a must when I choose to own my own home. I didn't learn much about pool care, but I did learn that to own an in-ground pool it is pretty expensive to build, and from other research gathered it is somewhat expensive to take care of. I'm somewhat more educated now on what it takes to own a pool in general. I am thankful for this video, but I'm going to go play League now. Pray I don't feed as Gangplank, folks, because I feel like a salty pirate at the moment. I'm from the South and am drunk as shit. I'm actually more impressed that I could write a "paragraph?" of this level in my intoxicated state than I am impressed with this video. I'm gonna go now....=/

The guyz working they re so prefessional. really great job.
Nice video. After 8 years in concrete and bridge work, I’m fairly confident that with a little practice in plastering and figuring out how to do the plumbing, that this is something me and a few buddies in the trade could probably do in a short time. This was a lot more simple than I thought it was going to be
Thanks for watching!
@dog ville are u sure he wasnt building a cave?
@@AlexanderFedorov_Master hello 👋🏻 I was wondering if you could tell me what size shotcrete blasting machine will I need to do my own swimming pool please 🙏🏻
Totally gonna build my pool over the weekend, and be back at work at 7am!
You got it!
Now I understand why swimming pools are so expensive... finally a video that can explain to me
One of the best Timelapse videos I’ve seen of a pool build. Can really see all it takes
Great Intro for homeowners like us who are thinking of putting a pool in so that we can anticipate what is coming! Thank you for uploading. I wish our pool in Houston was so cheap. Quotes we are getting are much more than that.
Certainly a bunch of professionals those guys 👌🏻
that is true
I really wanted to see the pool fill up in time lapse as well. But it just got to the the ending and was all TA-DA! Pool's magically filled
Sorry. I hope you enjoyed my video :)
I did. It was very well shot and well edited. I'm in construction as well and could tell by watching the crews and their process that they did a great job. It's just that last part I was hoping to see the pool gradually filled, no big deal :)
I saw the one year later video...four years on, still enjoying your backyard?
Have a good night!
Yes, thank you !
Nice job you guys explained it very well to ppl who knows nothing bout pools
That was one of the coolest things I have seen on TH-cam! Great use of time lapse and editing!
22:20 watching that water dry out is so satisfying
I actually looked back at it :D
why they cut the concert?
Its really amazing. The speed at these men work to build a swimming in just 30 minutes.
This video is fast forward and this is not done in one day 😂😂🤣
Экскаваторщик мастер, молодец👍🏻
So great and nice to watch and see what man can do , excellent very professionals .
Those men are hard working and know quality. Nice to watch because many people would not dare do the work that they do every day. 👏🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Man, i just hate that fence. it makes it look so much more smaller and the calmth of the garden got taken away :(
Some city's codes call for fences around pools
Fuck those cities and the mayor they rode on, a fence around a house is more than adequate for safety measures. Anything beyond that is a violation to the freedom of choice.
The pool is pretty near to where their property ends, so maybe they don't want people to get into the pool at night, which does happen
This is Russian style:))
One of the small prices to pay when you have small kids.
This is an amazing time lapse! Thanks for sharing.
It is pretty complex to build a pool though. All you see is a prism with water filled in it, but all the pipes and framework looks pretty solid.
The only thing I would comment that base would be better with blue color, non slippery material. It would show the pool more natural and bright, but looks great overall!
Thanks for watching! We did ask our builder to put some blue color, but he did tell us that the water is already blue and it will be looking good without extra coloring. He was RIGHT!
The blue color non slip material is Diamond Brite, I did marble dusting for about a year, pretty cool stuff, really hard work in a hot environment
Its amazing watching what a equipment operator can do.
Thanks for watching!
Wow thanks I can do it by myself after watching this
You can build your pool by yourself after watching the video, lol, then me too.
I love this video. makes me want to get a pool for the home. Great job guys and once again love the video
Didn’t realize that it’s so simple! I’m going build one for myself tomorrow 😂
Thanks for watching!
When the camera cut while digging, what’s on the grayish color stuff on the ground? Was that bedrock from digging or rocks you added? It looks like you added to the end.
You are so fast at building a swimming pool Alexander! Only took you 30 minutes! (you are so talented)

i did 11 minutes lol..... i got a life!!
anyone else enjoy watchinh them shape those steps out of a big pile of concrete the just kinda poured down ?

So much work for a concrete rectangle in the ground... waow
These guys did an excellent job!
Man. Snap on a little continuous soundtrack to the clip and it's a million hits easy.
Badass vlog for sure
ill definitely will be having a pool build in my backyard once I get my house...#superexcited
Built...
@@AnastasiaBeaverhousn thanks 🤷🏾♂️
Until you see that $20,000 price tag that comes with it
@@queerdeer12 still will be happy about it...🤷🏾♂️....some happiness got a price tag on it
Guys this is an excellent time lapse video. It does exactly what it says on the tin. Building your own pool doesnt mean you are the plaster, excavator machine operator or steel fixer all rolled into one. You can bring together the trades and leverage their skills to build the damn thing. So the title is 100% correct. It shows how to build you own pool.👍
Anyone here in 2024😊
Yup.
Yup. Having a pool built now. Just got done with excavation. Plumbing and rebar next. Kids are so excited
How are you doing it?
Me
I can't believe how fast they work! I never thought I would see a pool being built in 31 minutes!
Can you beat that time?
Well 30 minutes is even faster! Thank you for watching!!!
Nice job, well done.
that's awesome I love pools and it was really hot today
but I would do a deep and sallow end
😅😅
Tips - 9 feet for synchronized swimming or jumping or diving, 11.5 feet for springboard, 13 feet for SCUBA qualification, 14.5 feet for raised springboard, 16 feet for platform diving.
Amazing! I never thought that the process was so labor intensive and complex. Thanks for sharing.
Mexican labour intensive... lets be clear.
it doesnt have to be, this excavator operator sucks ass, the rest is pretty simple
@@jensonwinters4463 same price as any other laborers. It’s not the 90s anymore
I really don’t need it in 30 minutes, take a day or two, I’ll be happy. Fun video...
wow its a nice video and I have gained knowledge about how a swimming pool is actually built.
Thank you!
I followed the video to a tee. Every step. It took me about 10 days. How did you do this in 30 min?? Great job!
He is saying that the video of how to build one, is only 30 minutes,...not the actual building it.
@@monslay5624 I think we all get the sarcasm here
After watching this video, I’m ready to build my own pool

Alexander Fedorov how much did u spent just in pool?
🏳🇦🇫🇦🇴🇦🇲🇧🇭🇧🇯🇧🇼🇧🇮🇨🇴🇩🇰🇩🇴🇩🇲🇨🇮🇫🇰🇬🇫🇬🇪🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇼
God bless you people that can do things like this.
That was an interestingly informative video. Someday I plan to do the same thing, except inside an addiction to the main foundation.
Nice job! I have a better understanding on what goes into making an outdoor pool and I like the finished product. 31 minutes well spent. Beautiful work! Do you have any filming of other projects such as this? I'd like to see what went into making a large-scale swimming pool.
First of all, 👍UP for this Crew !!
They work very well together as you can see !!
And 2nd, the whole project came out very Beautiful.
Well done !! Congratulations !! ☄️ ☄️
The pool itself came out great, but that landscaping job and the fence just ruined the look of it.
I would say the fence is more to keep children from falling in and drowning.
Some neighborhoods and insurance companies require in-ground pools to have fences. Mostly to keep children and animals out.
Some countries actually require you to fence off your pool for legal reason, I lived and build in ground pools in France and all pools have to be fenced off because if someone decides to go for a swims in your pool and drowns you will be liable and will probably end up in a French prison, my dad who lives out there refused to fence his pool off even tho the grounds are fenced as he said it will spoil the pool, and to this day he still has no fence.
Most Counties not countries,,,,require a pool fence for safety...or your homeowners insurance might as well.
'murika !
Looks great guys!! And sometimes the pool has a small leak which can be repaired easily by putting some marcite/plaster into a nylon stocking til its about the size of a baseball and then tie the nylon stocking closed, next set it on the spot where the leak is and in a day or two the leak will be sealed.
Great tip!
It is such a long tedious process. Thanks for sharing! I thought building a swimming pool was easier than building a house. I was wrong!
I'm a pool guy in Baltimore!, great video!. Of course I understand the thirty min.
Hello Brother, any tips on how to convert a vinyl pool into a regular pool?

Nice pool I would round the corners
That smoothing was soothing
Fantastic work, love the spray cement.. love it
Glad you like it. Thanks.
Very nice pool, though I didn't like the fende or the wood pieces around it, but that's just a question about preference.
yea I like it more without the fences, but probably he put it there to keeps the kids away?
Yeah I have an in-ground pool. You have to have a fence around it. If your neighbors kid drowns in your pool they can sue you. Yes its completely retarded because they shouldn't be on your property to begin with.
+Nya Stclair well for animals too.. you dont want to see a dead animal floating in it XD
Often enough times you find dead frogs and mice in your pool anyway. That's a common enough occurance.
its required to have a fence for insurance purposes.. basically another forced bill our country has stuck us with..
AWESOME! Please do a similar time-lapse on the Great Pyramids! Thanks:)
I thought this process would take weeks but they did it in 30 mins. Got to love Mexican speedsters.
Is that a river through the trees? Refreshing.
It's a lake.
These guys are hired, well done, awesome job.
How to build your own swimming pool: hire someone else's professional team of 20 to do it all for a price you can't afford. Got it!
My definition of build your own is all those trips to pick up materials, all your weekend gone because your out back, some weekdays, your wife keeping you hydrated, a buddy or two that help when they can while drinking beer, periods of time when you just can't get back to it because you had to work a weekend. No. This is not a build your own here. This was contracted.
Yall can do it 💪 will take time!
@@truthbtold8040 that actually sounds amazing
Does it all have to be done in one day
Ur broke
Pretty amazing job.
How to build your own pool by hiring professionals. It is your pool after all. LOL, I couldnt want anything less in my yard than a pool but I watched the whole damn thing and enjoyed it.
Great job showing all the trades and sequence of work. Thank you.
those guys are masterful... this whole process and the way they can smooth those walls is extra-ordinary.
Bloody good job there, good team you've got helping you out too
Nice job. Was there any consideration to do drainage between the walls and the soil to redirect groundwater away from the pool and home?
These are the fastest workers i have ever seen! LOL
Love plain concrete deck! I'm doing the same but cutting in a decortive pattern with the expansion joints!
This is a great video, very specific step by step, Just I would like to know the size of the pool and deep. Thank you for sharing your skills
I think pool basin wall should always come up to top of finished grade, level with or above the deck grade, with a joint there between basin wall and deck. Otherwise deck stresses, settlement, etc, over many years can cause water at the top of the pool, to leak out of pool though cracks formed though deck movement and possibly erode under the deck, cause even more movement. With a good rock base under deck it might not matter as much , but even rock beds might settle. In other words, the basin and deck should be separate structures. Our pool now has such significant issues because deck sits on basin top.

Nice video
Looks like a Quality Gunite Pool? Great job and looks really Good Too.
Maybe one day i will build up my own outdoor swimming pool that is my dream future!
Awesome video, love the super model at the end! lol
Nice pool! Looks really nice. How deep is it?
6 feet
Alexander Fedorov what did it cost?
Desde Colombia : Primero excelente el video que durante la obra fue constante la filmación. Segundo muy bonito el diseño sencillo pero muy bueno. Tercero un excelente equipo de trabajo. De alificación un poderoso 10.
Respect. these guys are pros.
Thanks!
Oh that’s easy I will do mine by my self next weekend ✋
I'm about to start mine I have my shovel and wheel Barrow, anything else I need?
gused82 forgot the bucket
@@nozayt your absolutely right I almost forgot that
gused82 😂😂
Ah bunch of cold beers
i wish i had a pool like that
So from this I see that to "build your own" pool is hiring a team of pool builders.
yes
If you want good looking pool, than YES.
@@AlexanderFedorov_Master Then, not than
@@AlexanderFedorov_Master its not what the title says then🙄
It actually says “build your own pool”, not “build a pool on your own”! Just shows you how things can be lost in translation when not reading carefully!
Currently designing a house on the River Kwai. Wd love a pool, fingers crossed 🤞
Never seen that done before. Very cool. Those concrete guys are incredible.
Bruh 2 guys with sticks would build it in 1 day...
Yep, I’ve seen those videos xD
In a random forest too!!
Omg that's hilarious!!!! I love those videos
Which pool do you think would survive longer?
I have seen that too and it is amazing but those Pools built with sticks won't last. They will start leaking in no time. The structures will fail. Amazing talent though.
Yes sir
How to build your own pool:
Step 1... Hire someone to build you a pool.
Step 2... Swim
😂😂😂
Haha
hahahaha)))))))))))))))))
You forgot one step it might take 1 -2 months to built it there goes the swimming season at least it will be ready for next year
Step 2 ... film workers building pool and put it on TH-cam. Step 3 ... go swimming in your new pool paid by the people watching workers build pool
While watching this, when it got to around 5:30 in the video, the Yakkity Sax song from Benny Hill started playing in my head, and I laughed myself to tears.. lol! :D
lol i went back and put the that song and it went perfect with the video XD
whos benny hill was he the contractor walking around there ?
I see your worker a very careful and do a good job .
this isn't amateur ..those who doing pros...anyway excellent job i learn lot... for my own project....
Thank you!
watched the half video with my headphones on, not realizing that there is no sound at all :D
paralyzing...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmao I thought my computer was broken when there was no sound.
😂😂😂😂😂
Is that a lake @23:00 just behind the tree line?
Might be a creek or river
I saw it too seem like one
-free water-1 +
i think its yer mum lol
Yeah free water filling up in your pool because of groundwater these guys are idiots and everybody's talking about how great the video is LOL
Crusher run no need to compact? NO brc? NO WATER PROOFING?
Thanks guys I appreciate this video. This video was made for young contractors like myself not the average home owner.
Excelent video, althought it took me a little more time to build mine it was 40 minutes but everything good.
This video really needed the classic song "Yakkety Sax" playing for the real Benny Hill feel.
