I’ve build a pool and we did the work ourselves using common sense and did a concrete surface with a liner and it works great. The concrete was used for surface and wasn’t meant to keep water in and did it with a few thousand dollars but not 10s of thousands.
I paid $3,380 for materials and built an inground 8' x 36' saltwater lap pool that is 4' 3" deep with 4 jets, 4 -12 volt LED lights, skimmer, 3/4 horsepower pump, and a fabric filter. It has 2' x 2' tile over a concrete base with concrete block walls. I added 3,000 feet of rebar to the floor and walls, and filled all the blocks. Pool contractors NEVER recommend that anyone does anything by themselves. Want to plug in your toaster? Better call a contractor!
We have been considering doing our own pool! I own and run a concrete business! Did you happen to take a video of your process building the saltwater pool? 😂 I loved your comment about the toaster! We don't recommend anyone pouring walls for a home either, especially without the right tools! But a pool, pretty much everything is available for the diy'er! :)
Is there a better pool type based on climate and winter closures with below freezing temps? Up in Canada, it’s rare to see a concrete or other type of residential pool, with vinyl liners seeming to be the default choice. I wasn’t sure if location/climate made a difference in this choice? I really like the fibreglass pool concept and thought about it for a well into the future reno but hard to find examples of those installs around here.
I want a pool that has steps leading into the pool, 3' to 3' 6" deep on one end and 7' deep on the other. I mainly just want to be able to do exercises in the pool and tread water, so small pool would be fine. No water features, no slide and no diving board. Are fiberglass pools made this way? Do rectangle pools differ in price from traditional or free-form?
He is full of shit. Cynic liner pool kits are a hell of a lot cheaper than he’s saying. Hell, you can get the vinyl liner pool installed completely for what he’s saying the kit cost. Plus, I’ve installed my own 18x36 pool. They are very simple for anyone with a little bit of DIY ability
I have a fibreglass pool which I did myself 10 years ago great for 5 yrs then you have to repaint it blue 3 days sanding down 2 days to repaint lots of mess next time I'm gone buy a liner 1 days work
Covid creates this new business model. They hire less help, put out less product, but makeup for it by charging 3 times as much. Once competition heats back up, these things would change.

Sounds like you should open a business.

Make a video for how you did it
You definitely did not get all that for 3 grand bud
These prices are absolutely absurd. We just had a gunite pool installed with water features and surrounding patio in California for 40k last year
I'm in San fernando valley. 40k how big is the pool?

There was also no mention of how a concrete pool has to be resurfaced every so many years as well. Usually 10-15 years
Depends on how you take care of it. There many 20 year old concrete pools that have never been resurfaced.

We know it costs money. Show how to do it. We don't have all day
And this is why so many are doing the stock tank pool now...
Wow! I would say maybe to not listen to a man who sells pools for a living when it comes to finding the cheapest option
$45k for a liner pool? Are you kidding me? It shouldn’t cost over $30k.
They're not cheap
I didnt see the pros and cons to fiberglsss or concrete
This is a great video really like the video.
That’s a lot money for an average guy for a pool woohweee

You can do it yourself, but we dont recommend it. Pay us 45k instead, ridiculous
criminals
Bruh looks like Ted Cruz lol
Don’t insult him this way
100000$ for a bathtub. Who's the fool that buys that
