Turning a CHEAP Intex Pool into a Backyard Oasis
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- Our back patio area is getting a makeover, again! We are installing a small Intex above-ground pool and are planning to turn it into our budget summer oasis, which is on Molly's top prenatal care wishlist. In this video, we demo the old layout, prep the ground for the pool base and start setting up our new Intex Pool. Soon we will have an entire wood surround, concrete pavers, and an outdoor shower!

Excited to see what you all do with it! We love our Intex pool. Also congratulations on the baby you guys are going to make great parents!
Thanks man! Your pool build is epic!
@@Woodbrew to know that you have seen my pool video is a huge encouragement thank you guys so much! Keep up the great work!
The key to pool maintenance is Saltwater. Use a saltwater generator to chlorinate the pool. Sooooo much easier. Also a sand filter not that cartridge system. That size pool you would need about 80lbs of pool salt and the Intex Chlorine generator. Look into it, so much easier to keep clean and water crystal clear.
Totally go with salt if you can. Hotels & resorts use salt so it does the job. Plus it doesn’t wreck your hair like chlorine can 🙂
I thought that rusted the metal legs?
“I’m gonna be smiling like her in a few hours” 🤣
Mama Molly was right! A pool in Alabama during the hot months is a joy! Papa Dylan will enjoy it, too! 👍👏✨😍
Honestly don’t know how we’ve gone all these summers without one🤣🤣
@@Woodbrew 👍❤
That was a lot of fun hehehe! The joy it brings to preggy Molly. Lovely to watch 😍
You are going to love having that thing. There's nothing like getting in at the end of a long, hot work day and cooling off. I'm working in my garage and taking a break to watch, and then I will jump into our pool to cook off too.
I built a wooden frame around basically the same pool. add 3in of foam board insulation under and around it, and a heater from inflatable hot tub
Even if you had used a weed barrier, the wind blows seeds onto the gravel so the weeds will still grow.
You two are a great team! 🤙
You go girl❣️. I can hardly wait to see you floating in the pool with a cool drink! 😎🇨🇦
Great video as always, that pool is going to be so nice on those hot days enjoy
A friend of mine just got a pool like this and invested a little bit more on one of them salt water filters. It sounds like a good alternative.
👍👍👍👍👍🫵2🪨 Can’t wait to see the next video.
You guys are a lot of fun. From Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada
ya that pool is going so nice for you and mother of your child lol very nice guy and have a great 4th of July
We have weeds in Texas known as nut grass. They will grow right up underneath your pool lining and poke a hole right through it. I know this from personal experience.
I hope you got a good pool cover to keep the water temperature controlled.
First video I have seen of yours. I liked it & now a subscriber.
Rectangle pool is the only way to go minimum 52 inch though and its way easier to clean and swim in.
lets get it guys
Get a small sand filter. It will keep it clear and so much easier to take care of.
Enjoy
Do yourself a favor and upgrade that tiny pump to an intex 2500 with the larger hoses also ..will jeep that pool so much cleaner easier
Nice
Good ideas 💡
Ya'll need to put some type of shade cover over it. The water will really turn warm.
You want that pool to get cooler? Buy some ice blocks from the ice factory. That'll get that pool cooler.
Finally the pool ! I’m so happy for the both of you .. pools are such a great thing to have . Hope you are in the light of god and god bless the both of you.. Happy first day of July!
Yes, finally!! We’ve been enjoying it just about everyday already! And thank you🤗
@@Woodbrew welcome so happy for you !
Easiest way to do that kind of staining is to buy a cheap pump up garden spayer - put the stain in - pump it up and Bob's your uncle. They're cheap enough to you don't even have to clean the up after you done. Just throw them away . . .
We also have this kind of pool. We were thinking about getting a pool, and I first thought about something really solid, rather big, with stairs into the pool, with a roof on top. I found a website with a configurator and ended up with a price tag of 30000+€😑
So we got this type of pool. Much cheaper, but does the job. If it lasts five years, then it really wasn't expensive. I got a pool cleaning robot, very convenient. The robot is just dropped in the pool, and runs for about an hour. If the battery is drained, it stops at a wall for easy pickup.
Do yourself a favour and buy a sand filter according to the size of your pool. Just a little tip from an pool owner in austria.. ;-)
Bwahaha you guys are adorable. I’m also pregnant, and we live in North Carolina… 1000% humidity and 1000°… I’m going to use this video to talk my husband into putting a pool in 😁
DO ITTT🤣🤣 Good for the swelling, good for the weight, and just makes me happy!
Draining & Heating A Pool: I had an in-ground pool to empty out for repairs and paint, and later to heat up quickly for a child's 4th birthday party. I bought a submersible pump from Harbor Freight and ran garden hose from it out away from the house. After completing the repair and painting, I filled the pool and needed to heat it faster than just waiting on the Sun. I bought a roll of black plastic irrigation tubing. With the pump at the deep point of the pool and the tubing laid out around the concrete pool deck, I started the water recirculating five days before the party. That deep pool (9 feet at the deep end) was quite comfortably warm the morning of the party and all I had to do was remove the pump, coil up the tubing and put it all away. Total cost was under $75 in 2004.
I would get truck full sand and lay sand over it then put pool on it
Pure physics. 1) The depth of the pool isn't much so the pressure is low. 2) The hose is small diameter and long. Both cause resistance to flow. Combine low pressure with high resistance and you get a LONG time for the water to just trickle out.
Good to know! We bought a pump and it got the water out in no time🤗
*Well at least you got to try it out first... 🙂 shame about having to move it.... but do it right the first time aye 🙂.*
What stain is that! I love it!
This one from Behr! We love it too☺️homedepot.sjv.io/rQ5e6j
An inexpensive 'trash pump' would help with draining ...
Don't understand- why did you remove that pea gravel?
You should have just put down (under the pool) a weed block fabric. (But, that is just a seems to me!)
Hey guys. Love the pool. If you don't mind, where did you get it for $230? I have been looking for one like that, but the cheapest I can find is around $320. Thank you.
Add some rock salt to the gravel to help kill weeds.
pretty cool.
Get the junk out because it will puncture.I had to press down bunch in a pool
The little pebbles in the rocks and sticks. Are your worst enemy with pools?
I have a silly question did you contact your water department with your meter reading and tell them you were filling a pool because usually they charge you for sewage as well as your water usage at the same time and they’ll deduct sewage from your water the total for the time that you’re filling your pool so it’s a discount at least most of the country does that I don’t know about your area but most of the country lol
We are on septic so we don’t get the sewer side of the bill, but you are absolutely correct✌🏻
Get the salt system. It’s so easy and the salt is cheap.
Any Recommendations on what to get?
Yeah, intex makes one that hooked right up. It was about $150 a few years go. I found it on Amazon… so… affiliate link for you. 😂 I think they said it produces chlorine at about 1/6 the concentration of the chlorine that you would have by adding and balancing the chemicals. The machine handles all that and tells you if your salt level is right. It goes inline between the filter and the pool.
Also congrats on the coming family.
I’ve enjoyed your channel for some time. I think I got hooked on the CNC teardrop. Also, I love the style of your house, and you two have done amazing aesthetic improvements. You really have an eye for the vision and design.
Don't pee in it😂
Love how he says "these Chinese engines", like they are all not built in China.
Yea… what I really mean is the knock offs of the Chinese made name brands. Tend to be clones of known engines and they can be hit or miss.
Do you think that you are on the same 8000 subs because the PTB's don't want you to talk about this subject? That is the only thing that makes sense to me.
*very pregnant* apparently means 1 week pregnant to this chick 😂😂😂
lol she’s 25 weeks
So I am guessing the whole "homesteading " thing has flown out the window.
lol, we are still all in on “modern homesteading”. Our priorities have shifted as of recently with the baby on the way, but we have some more homestead type projects in the pipeline.
So, money can buy happiness, $260 apparently definitely buys some happiness for Molly. LOL
Where is your husband at. I see you the pregnant one, doing all the work...lol
You try and get her to stop working.
@@Woodbrew hahahahahaha right. Seemed very into getting that pool up.. that was awsome. We just got ours finally picked out.. will be a whole year before its done but excited..
Put your head under... :)...../
Being very pregnant. Psssh. Ur barely showing yet lol. Be careful doing all that. Hope it goes well for you two.
lol She’s 25 weeks… Thanks!
@@Woodbrew you two have a beautiful property, just got mine with 2 acres around 8 months ago, so its nice to see other young families doing what me and my wife are doing. My son is excited for it.
@@Woodbrew More than halfway there and a nice healthy weight - enjoy the journey! But be careful of stressing your back from this point on.
😀👌👍
