- we purchased a Intex above ground pool over the shut down and decided if we were going to keep it we wanted it to look a little bit nicer and a little bite more modern, so we gave it a makeover

Absolutely Beautiful!🤩 Very classy warm feel using that style.
Beautiful. Modern. 1/10th of what we were about to spend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
That looks great- nice job...thanks for sharing for those needing deck ideas...so cool !!!
What a great idea and great job!
I love this!! What an improvement!
This is gorgeous. Wow.
This looks amazing!!! And I love the price tag!
Done with a class economically and labor wise. Nothing bits the organic look of stained wood. Inspiration to viewers.
That’s awesome! I just put up the 24 x12 and I love the pool but hate the look. This idea dresses it up nicely
Oh man, you did an awesome job!
This is beautiful! 🔥
Truly beautiful and luxurious.
It looks amazing!
I’m obsessed with this.
Wow it looks great 👍 I love it 🥰
Awesome, happy for you ❤

Beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great design! It looks really nice 💯
Thanks !
Great job!
Really nice shell!
Omg beautiful!! 😮
This looks amazing!!!! Looking to get the same pool, but I was extremely torn because I wanted it to not look like the typical above ground logo pool. Love the way you elevated your pool, perfect design!!!!
Thanks !
It looks amazing and easy to build. Nice job!
You can also build raised garden beds around the pool and it will look axactly like an in ground pool
@@tylerhughes5420 Awesome!
Smart build💡
Looks like a 20k endless pool ❤
Beautiful!
I love this soooo much!!!
it looks great!!
Beautiful
Looks very nice.
Same pool going to do the same, very helpful thank you mate.
Glad it helped
Just buying the same but 18 by 9...fancy flying to UK for a couple of weeks...that looks good.
Nice!! You also rebuilt and added those buildings in the back 👍🏻👍🏻
Yup new garage/ workshop thanks
Nice! Great job! Cheers! 🤙🏼
Very good idea
Looks great ! ❤
Thank you!
Your pool looks amazing! Great job!
Looks so good dude
👌
Thanks!
Wow your pool looks great
Thank you!
great idea
Dope bruh fr fr I literally had this in idea searched and found yours. Perfecto lol
This is so awesome
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you!!
Love it ..solar side lights would be a nice addition
We have since added some 👍🏼
I would consider connecting the 4 sides with carriage bolts and nuts so when you have to replace the pool it's easy to reassemble.
Magnificent
awesome job
Thanks !
It would have been awesome to see a time laps of the build or more video of the actual build…But what we got was pretty detailed. Thank you
I know I wish I had filmed the process unfortunately we had the lumber shortage and there was quite a bit of downtime between finishing it… But I wish I had more of that detail I will on the future projects
@@The_Heights How is this holding up? We are planning the same pool and a possible frame around it as well. Turned out great
@@875daily We’ve had ours just over two years absolutely no issues whatsoever well worth the money in my opinion
@@The_Heightshi we are considering this brand pool. Is everything still holding up well? I was mixed with a few reviews on Lowes with this same pool. The complaint was about the pump but it looks like you replaced with a different one.
@@tangeeaugustin5994 ours is still working great no complaints but yes, you would definitely want to upgrade to a sand pump. A little filtered pumps that it comes with are no good. As long as it has a sand pump you should be all set.
Love it
nice job.
Looks fantastic and modern, we're putting in a rain tank type of pool it's in one piece 3.5m circle and I'm looking at putting it half inground, find this wall very pleasing to look at.
Nice ! Thanks
@@The_Heightshey did you all do a diy video on how you did this project?
@@christinacraig313 hey unfortunately not… The video is kind of an afterthought because we had some people asking questions .
again, another great idea... thanks for sharing #KapKen
Thanks 👍🏼
super nice
Nice!

Nice
I love this! We are purchasing a bigger pool next week and would love to build this on my own without much help from my husband. If you don’t mind answering a few questions for me? First off, did you dig holes for the fence posts? Can you please tell me the color of the stain you used? What are the trim pieces, metal? Where did you purchase those. And lastly, can you please explain how you accomplished the top pieces? That sit flat around the top of the pool. Like how you connected those to be sturdy. Thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks ….It’s early American stain. The black trim is actually wood painted black. The top pieces are mounted directly to the top of the fence posts.👍🏼

Wow! it look absolutely amazing! you know what would been amazing? if you show us how you did it, LOL.
LOL yeah, step-by-step would probably be helpful. I only made this video because I started getting a ton of questions on social media and it was after the fact… Good luck.

This absolutely fantastic.
But do you help with installation?
Thanks
would love to know the plans for this case for the pool, i'd like to put it together myself
What is the finished product dimensions? This is absolutely gorgeous
Really glad i found this,.....you if anyone could answer or have thoughts on this,....do you think its possable to build the wood enclosure to fit the liner inside of,...without use the braces or metal frame,.......what you have here is exactly what ive been brainstorming,...but i want to build the wood enclosure into ,..and under an rv canopy i already have,...useing the already strong cemented in posts,...if anyone has advice or ideas or warnings about this please comment,...thx,......love the way this looks!!
I’m sure you could figure out a way to do it… However the way the frame works at a loss for the pool liner to expand and contract as you get in and out in the water levels rise… Hopefully you’re able to figure it out good luck
Looks stunning ,got me inspired to build one for my own.
How did you secure the lumbers on the top edge of the pool?
Main mounting points are the tops of the fence posts I ran two by fours on the inside top edges of the fence posts connecting them to also give mounting surface for the top
Looking at doing the same, the frame out today is averaging $2500… insane
Prices are ridiculous
@@The_Heights absolutely
This is the best I've seen for an above ground pool enclosure!! How deep is your pool?
Thank you, can’t remember exactly how deep it is but I think it’s around 44 inches just over waist deep and I’m 5’9
I'd like to get info on how you constructed the wood around pool.
Beautiful job. I'd love to see gradual steps on the far short side of the pool, would look great. (Just incase you want to make a video) 😂
Lol since this video on the far short side near the garage, we added a ground, level deck, and a small staircase
@@The_Heightsawesome! Is there a video on that?
😎👍🏼
I love this idea. I live in NY and I would like to know if it will survive the winter.
The structure would do find the pool itself I’m not sure you’d have to ask the actual company how they hold up in cold temperatures… If you drain the pool for winter each year it would probably be fine
@@The_Heights Thank you 🙏🏼
I really wish I knew how to build this and what materials I need
what is the new width of the pool once you add the wood ?
nice, but what will happen when the pool is broken ?? like a cut or something at the bottem ?
Gr Mark
Hi, this is great. Can I ask for the posts in the corners and around the perimeter, did you set them in concrete or anything? Or just dug and backfilled with dirt? How deep did you go? Also is the pool in any way attached to the casing? Or it just sits inside of it freely? Thanks in advance! Hope you're enjoying it!
They dug and compacted the dirt no cement was used
Dude! this is WILD! you killed it! whats a sand pump?
Thanks man… It’s just a specific type of pump that they sell that uses sand to filter the water rather than like a paper filter that you have to change out all the time
Looks good but how long will that intex pool last without getting a tear in it then how do you disassemble it all with that built around it?
Average is 3-5 years from my research and you would just take off / unscrew one side and slide it out
Love the look. My concern is that the inside of that becomes a huge spider nest.
There is definitely a possibility, lol… However, there are gaps between the boards and I frequently spray everything out. I’ve had no issues with anything like that.
Did you bury the fence posts? What size fence posts did you use? We were thinking of using 6x6’s and burying them 3 ft.
They are standard 4 x 4 fence posts buried 2 1/2 feet deep once it’s all connected together it’s extremely sturdy but obviously going with bigger posts just give that much more rigidity
Love this. Great job. How is the wood holding up to the elements?
Thanks ! Other than having to re stain it every year it’s holding up great
Your design is absolutely perfect and I love it. We have a very similar pool style about same dimensions and you gave me my next project to tackle for next summer. How is your winter over there, does it affect your components and liner ?
Thanks! We don’t really have winter here in Florida so it doesn’t affect much at all and the frame is oversize just enough to never touch or interfere with the actual pool or framing
This is super cool! I have a few questions, what stain did you use? When measuring the wood, did you measure a little larger than the pool? I was wondering how you were able to get it to be so flush to the sides of the pool. Lastly, is your pool right on top of gravel? Does that affect the smoothness of the bottom at all?
The stain is early American.
I measured the perimeter of the frame legs to get my length and width so that it would fit tight to where the bottom of the angled supports hit the ground. And then use a deck board on top to fill in the gap so it appears to be nice and flush with the pool.
The pool itself is on a leveled surface using dirt or sand the gravel is only around the perimeter to give the supports/legs somethings solid to land on.
@@The_Heights what are the dimensions of the completed project? Looking to do the same with that exact intex pool
did you figure out the dimensions? Thanks!!!
looking to do the same
Beautiful job! Can I ask if you are in a northern climate, and if so, what do you do to winterize? Thanks!
Fortunately I am in Florida so I don’t have those issues however even during the winter season here where I’m not going to be using it you can simply drain it completely and then refill it during the summer it’s not a lot of water usually runs about an extra $65 on the water bill that month
Been empty won’t dry it up too much and ruin it ??
This looks amazing. One question: how do you change out the liner when it is time? And if you have a failure on the framing structure of the pool can you fix it?
Just in screw one side on the structure and pull it out 👍🏼
@@The_Heights but aren't the poles cemented in the ground? Will that get in the way? Maybe not...
@@gamatoutsikos As far as the fence posts/poles, they are not in the way they are spaced out, just along the outside edge of all the pools frame
Do you have kids that play in it? This looks like an awesome upgrade, but i would be concerned about getting in/out. Milled/flat wood is slippery when wet. Do you have some sort of non-skid where you get in/out?
There is a ladder on the inside of the actual pool that you can walk up and get out very easily, and on the backside of the pool now there are two steps to get up and get in the pool, not shown in this video aside from that, the wood has held up very well… It was sanded thoroughly, but in general, which would you do need to be cautious overtime to maintain it
this looks awesome! how long did it take to build?
2 full days over the weekend but I stained everything a few weeks later
Looking beautiful. Could you please share links to materials purchased ? Planning to do one. Also how is wood stacked side by side & how is that wonderful step made ? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I don’t have a materials list I was kind of just winging it during the Covid shut down it’s built like a horizontal fence
@@The_Heights No problem, thanks. Are those wooden posts on the corners and black paint done by you ?
@@SB-tc9lc yes Trimmed out the corners with some smaller detailing/wood and painted them
Quick question, how do you fit the pool cover? I just got an intex would you say the cover is necessary?
If you don’t have a skimmer that floats on top of the water leaving the pool open constantly just requires a lot more cleaning… But I don’t know that it’s necessary to have a cover or just makes things easier….
I just ordered a waterproof tarp on Amazon. That’s about 3 feet wider and 3 feet longer than the pool structure and I made the latches at each corner that holds it in place.
Did you use 2x12 on the top, to cover the gap between the sides and the pool edge?
I’m pretty sure all of the top flat surfaces are 2 x 10 except for the long side that has the actual pool pump. I needed to be a little bit wider to cover most of the pump so I went with a 2 x 12 I believe.
Looks great. What if you have a leak somewhere ? How would you tend to it being all closed in
It’s easy enough to un screw boards to open up a side
What are your thoughts on doing something similar with a round pool. My pool is 16 foot round. Perhaps an octagon shape box. How far in the ground did you go with the 4x4's?
I’m sure you could do something similar. I went down 24 inches on the post.
Did you do anything in particular with the fence frame out to make it easier to access the pool frame or liner if it needs maintenance or replacing?
Nothing in particular, other than you can just simply unscrew the boards on one of the sides if you needed access… Otherwise I drain the pool pretty much every winter clean everything and refill it the next season and when it’s drained, you can get access to it to check on everything if that makes sense
@@The_Heights makes sense. Thanks!
I wonder if it actually counts as a fence around a pool. My HOA requires a fence around a pool.... maybe this would do? Very nice.
That I’m not sure of… Possibly
Doubtful. Fences are required to keep kids out. This is merely a wall offering no protection from entry.
Just curious when it comes time to possibly replace pool lining or need to disassemble and reassemble did you build the wooden outside so it's possible to do that? If so how?
Everything is screwed in so i can just take off one side of it and remove it if i ever need to replace it
@The_Heights got it thank you!
