Commonly ask questions:
#1 Like I said in the video I was going to buy an easyset filter and pump to help clean the water, which i did.
#2 I drain the pool by using the filter and pump to pump out the water.
#3 I do use clorine and always have. I buy tablets specially made for pools in desert climates. :)
Mechanical Ninjineer thx dude!
Mechanical Ninjineer ur my hero im digging now lol
did you post a video on how to attach the pump you bought?
All I can do is dream through you. We had to have a sump pump put in (actually 2) in the area where I would have liked to have a pool. Other considerations are tree roots from wooded area behind us and I’d probably have s heart attack digging anyway. Sigh. Wish I had a family member like you that enjoys a pool - or some kind of pool anyway.
How did you attach the filter to the pool?
I made this pool but i tweaked it a bit we added a slip in slide and me and my family absolutley loved it!
Make a u tube on it, I would love to see it.
might try this..lets hope my parents dont mind coming home seeing a big hole in the backyard :)
hahaha! YES! I love it! :D
Instead buy a above ground pool. Cheap and easy set up...
Khan Sana thanks, my family is looking into one we had one in the past actually 😌
Frl
Khan Sana - I thought about that too but if it is not perfectly level(which would be hard to do in my yard) it is probably better if I do this. The higher your pool the more important it is to have it level...i learned the hard way LOL 😂
This was a fun imaginative video and I love the frugal approach. Having recently done a pond my only concern would be that light of a guage of tarp should tear and leak easily. But for a season it could work great.
Uhhh well hope people know not to just start digging...make sure you know of all plumbing wiring and city code stuff
TheClonemate - yes! Great point! In fact here where I live we have signs around the utility poles that say”call before you dig!”:))
Wait I live in country so will i have to like watch out too? I don’t live in city
cutie_softy honestly if you have a ton of land just do it
Not in the good ol country ya don’t !
yung dan I have 189 acres
Hell yeah!!! I have been brain storming about a diy pool but I was overthinking. Thank you for making it simple. I'm trying it on a small scale first for the kids.
Put landscape plants, hostas and or flowers around the pool to hide the lining, it’ll look like a paradise oasis. Thanks for sharing.
DMedina Hawks it will look like a pond
I'm building a pond liner pool right now! Its gonna be awesome, permanent, landscaped & a great place to cool off in West Texas, where we regularly exceed 100 degrees!
Super cool! It's always REALLY nice to have a pool! :D
C'mon people. He's just letting us in on an experiment. I lived in az.. heat is real! Thanks smart guy! I built one too!
Now build a slip-n-slide going from the back door to the pool.
No more walking in dirt.
hahaha! That would be pretty awesome!
Neznisgip yep that would be cool
Wetuissdfffffdfpkkkkkkklmmn
How would you clean the pool?
I did this in my house! It was pretty fun! Its hot here in texas!
I have a problem relevant to your yard specifically with tracking dirt into the pool. I might suggest getting some cast concrete tiles from a hardware/garden store and make a walkway to and around the pool. It would help keep dirt out and also help keep the liner edges in place.
Another cheap idea would be to use old carpet.You can get it for free from installers.
True, but carpet will decay.
My son and his friend did this during quarantine. Their project! Well it’s back up and running this summer. The liner, tarp, may not last another winter but it’s good now!
I use the truck bed. That's nice too. 🏊
Imagine a long bed
Whatever gets you through those hot summer nights. I'll bring the beer!🤗
I'll have to watch your other videos on how you set up the filtration system and all for this. It's pretty dope. I was surprised when I first saw you jump in. I was expecting you to get hurt, it didn't look that deep.
Totally agree with you, I live in Arizona too. In the shade it's a hundred degrees!🤣😎
Ikr! Its crazy! hahaha!
This is awesome, going to use this to make a lil pond for our ducks! Awesome work.
Ducks and my self .. lol
Without that pump and filter and some chlorine, the pool is going to get cloudy and gross pretty quickly!
That’s true it’s a DIY petri dish 🧫
Awesome job! Would love a follow-up video about the filter and water treatment.
Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking about doing an update video!
I'm wondering how much water evaporates each day.
@@wadebarnett2542 It's Arizona, so...all of it.
@@MechNinji Well?! We're waiting! :)
Did you have to call before digging?
Really like your idea and hard work put forth (actual digging) to get there. How many rocks did you use?
next time drill 10 holes, fill them with amonium nitrate wait for a thunderstorm or 4th of july and blast your hole. granted you still have to remove the rubble, but it is a lot easier.
hahaha! I like it! Gonna have to be SOME thunder though! Or WW3 on the 4th! haha! :D
I laughed the whole time watching this 😂. Honestly you could make this project look a lot more professional if you put a little extra money into it. Either way goes to show how easy it can be to install a decent pool for such a low cost.
You know how they say engineers over think stuff?
A quickest pool close to this size from Wal-Mart costs about $60, pump included.
Still, I found it pretty inventive and funny. Thumbs up from me!
What Walmart? Cause every damn place near me is sold out of pools thanks to corona. Can't even find shit online. LOL
What a genius idea, this is awesome! 😁👍💡
Great idea! 1 advice: Dig in the spring when it's not so hot.
haha! Yeah that would help!
thank you, came back to watch the mealworms, I live in northern AZ, now a pool, yay!
Man, I need that in my backyard!! But need landlord's permission. The grandkids would love it. My 4 yr old and myself would have a ball!!! 😆😆 Great job and Thanks for sharing this with us!!
Dude, that was awesome! Great job!
1:44
Neighbours: anyone seen his wife around this week ....
LOL
😂😂 I rate that comment
I’m actually thinking abt doing this!!!😂
Hence proved you are the engineer 😊
That is a very creative pool
Thank you! :D
you could make such a dope pond and rocky waterfall. or look into natural swimming pools. your really lucky to have that ground and rocks!
Very true! That would be cool!
I really like this idea... You said you tied it down but what did you use?
I was hoping for a follow up on how the pool stood up into the next yr . Any chance you could give me an idea what you did as far as maintaince & your opinion on how durable the tarp is after time . I'm looking to do something similar but much smaller above ground since I don't want a big hole in my small yard
"since I don't want to die this summer."
Can't relate.
Biggest pool I ever seen LOL , I LOVE IT
Fantastic idea made a nice swimming pool. That's cool.
Thank you so much! :D
Omg this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life… 🤣
haha! Im glad you like it!
You need a few noodles and an inflatable shark to guard the pool when you're not there. You wouldn't want the neighborhood dogs goofing off in the pool. The depth is very impressive. good job.
Awesome video! This cracked me up! I really might do it! Lol.
you are one hard working dude.
1. How do you connect a filter?
2. What did you use to tie it to the ground?
Hey man, couple questions if you have the time to answer
Was one of those waterproof sheets enough to sustain the water for a long time? e.g. months? is it still good?
How do you clean the water/generally maintain the pool?
Thanks
My questions exactly
I am going to try this hack 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You did great 😃
From where you buy this sheet
Now build a free a pallet wood pool house over top, and you’re set😂
I love his accent ... fan from Australia x
"its very hot here!" grabs blackest hoodie and pulls up cap....
BRILLIANT!!!
Ur landlord hates u....spray paint on walls and tarp hole in backyard... Lol great idea thou thanks for sharing
Spray paint on walls? what are you talking about? iv never spray painted a wall in my life...
@@MechNinji They are talking about your background in the garage-but I noticed that you spray painted cardboard that was on the walls.Great idea to protect the real walls!
I love this idea.
I saw your pool can you do an update of the pool how it looks now
Took me a week but I dug one up and now I just have to get a tarp what do you recommend to keep the water clean?
Now u should make a ping pong table to go next to the pool!
haha! That could be cool! I actually built one before I started TH-cam. Would be fun to explore again!
And its an inground pool! Lol,dont think my landlord would be ok with me digging up the backyard 😂 but smart idea for homeowners!
And that'll last about a week before it's green
Well so far its been 4 weeks and its still going strong!... aka not green. haha! :)
Yep, that's what I was thinking. Pools need water circulation and chemicals. Or the become swamp water. Just buy a aboveground pool .
Mechanical Ninjineer ,another idea is to use regular bleach for keeping it clean its a lot cheaper then using pool chemicals and I've been doing this for many years,and my pool is sparkling clean,and of course im using a pool pump also, just pay attention to the amounts you use,my pool is a 12 round by 30 inch deep,I use about 2 cups a day,and don't smell like bleach either or stinging eyes or skin,and i know many other people using this method, good luck👍😆...
Moises Teliz 1 sharp rock and goodbye water, no need for chlorine. Line the hole with carpet pad B4 the tarp
test strips arent very accurate brand new and degrade with age. order an FAS-DPD test kit they are highly accurate
Not bad ...I like
How long does the tarp last? Most tarps aren't made to withstand constant uv exposure and chemicals.
That is so cool 👏 yeah
When it's water, it's supposed to fill it?
I'm sorry, what was that?
So you had to put a Ridge around the edge? Chortle, chortle. I’m from Australia and that is a pretty good idea, I have been buying cheap inflatable pools and using them a season and ditching them but your solution looks a lot neater! Job well done!
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it! :) Yeah, we use to buy the inflatable pools as well. Those are great I just don't like being above ground because then the neighbors can watch you! haha! :)
I would make one but I live 100 feet from lake hartwell
I would too, but I don't think my down stairs neighbor would like very much. :|
MC's Creations haha I don't either
Id go for it! Maybe they won't notice? hahaha! Jk! :D
funnnnn we live semi close
Davis Anderson haha that's funny it's so nice there
Thank you for this video. I live in Tucson Az. It's flippin hoooootttt🔥
A ground tiller may have saved you some back pain. Love the pool idea. Good job.
Thanks! Im glad you like it! And yes, a tiller would have help a lot! haha! I just wanted to spend as little as possible! :)
yay just ordered my tarp can’t wait to get to digging this summer!!
Such funny DIY pool.I will have one in my home.LOL..
hahaha! :)
Call before you dig dude. you got lucky dude
I did... -_-
*sInCE* *I* *DOn't* *wAnna* *dIE* *ThIs* *SumMEr* I love you humor in this vid
hahaha! I'm glad you like it!
where did you get those floties?!
This is my life!
This is so cool 😎
Cool Video FYI i grew up in South Florida another pretty hot place and for a couple of years i did work in the swimming pool industry way before Sunblock was invented and what we did for the heat and Sun was to wear iced water towels over our heads and down the back of our necks we also started our workday at 7 A.M. stopped for a small break at 9 and usually a siesta in the shade and then went back at it for as long and hard as we could i dont want to be the negative guy on your pool but my experience with the cheap value tarps is they dont hold up to the suns Ultra violet rays very long
Couldnt be any hotter than Australia.
I just looked it up. According to google the hottest temp ever recorded in Australia was 123 Degrees F, And the hottest temp ever recorded in Arizona was 128 degrees F. So they are both WAAAAY too hot! haha!
Dang the guy dug it up on his own!!
haha! It was very tiring!
Ayooo you play to much 😂👀🙏 Creative ❤️❤️❤️
Pretty damn cool
Woah. ARIZONA TEAM. We found another!
Am going to do it
My arms HURT from watching you dig that hole! $40 for the tarp and $1000 labor. ;-) If it were me, I'd have to add the cost of a visit to the chiropractor!
Genius 🤯
Save yourself the digging. Go buy a inflatable pool. Includes filter and pump for around $100. Rofl.
Yes, But not anywhere close to the same size. :/
intex its up in about 1 hour and its as large as yours 150 pounds for 10 feet and 200 for 12 feet,They go up in size and price as they get larger.Its not inflatable.They have a frame and the pool goes in the frame
Simone Oconnell they're way more expensive where I live.
look around the internet amazon pool stores argos in uk has the 10 feet summerwaves one which is like intex very nice quality for 120 pounds.if you are in usa I am sure you could find one.or try ebay there are loads on there people dont want anymore they tell you the condition they are in.some people only use them 1 year and then dont want them.
Check out the stock tanks; cheap and simple and will last a long time.
Only issue i see is how long will the galvanized metal last with chlorine.
I gotta be honest I like my pool noddles,and floats.i think it's cool.Are u still enjoying it?it beats the tank pool idea at least I think so.
haha! I like it! Yes its still going strong! Bought the filter i talked about in the video and it works great and have chlorine in it! :)
That’s so creative! Way to save money!
Thank you!
Ok, now I want to maybe do the same, I dug down 3 feet, put a above ground pool in. Took it off down and gave it to grandkids. Spent 3
year's getting it perfect, but didn't like the cheep pool. Maybe that liner is the way to go, only for my dog to play in. Just how to keep it clean ??
Yeah, it is a cheaper solution! And like I said in the video, I just use a easy set pool filter ($30 online) and chlorine tablets. It works great!
Nicely done 🎉
your a genius
This was Awesome! 💯
Thanks! I've been trying to get my wife to OK that project for years...
Well Hopefully this video will help, not hurt your cause! Some people think it looks good while others not so much! haha! :D
Something tells me when you got your water bill you figured out that this thing cost a little more than $40
Michael Bassett he rents, he ain’t paying that water bill
@@brooks71982 I Rent and live in Tempe, Arizona and I pay for my Water Bill. Not all Renters have Utilities Included. It's not Cheap to live here anyway.
Renters don't pay their water bills?...What?! hahaha!
@@MechNinji Brooks Steffy says that since you Rent that you don't pay your own Water Bill. I said I Rent and I pay for my Water Bill. I live in Tempe, Arizona
lol, average price of water in the US is $1.50 per 1000 gallons
Got say thas an great idea for us ppl with low bugets love it
Yeah, you really don't have to spend too much to get something kinda nice! I'm glad you like it! :D
Nice pool
Thanks!
Pretty cool
Thanks!
thanks man this idea turn out great only wasted like $70, tarp n a small water pump to make a diy walter filter
You're welcome! :D
Looks very refreshing
haha! It is! :)
very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you! :)
" And Since I don't wanna die this summer.." I get where you're coming from I'm an Arizona Native too lol.
So you know all about it! You're a fellow "survivor"! haha! :D
Now a nice deck to put around the pool to keep dirt out just use shipping palates. You will have to come down to Tus and dig one for me😸
Funny you should say that! Im actually using a pallet as a platform to get in and out of the pool but a full blown deck would be awesome!!! :D
Brutal dig. Non waterproof liner. Project done just for you tube
That is soo dope
