- The plastering and painting of the pool walls is shown in this video. The application of the blue paint and the leveling of the floor are also shown. You can also see how I prepare the pool edge to be able to build edge tiles on it later.
Plastering a wall is quite hard work, so I was happy to be able to sit there now and then. The plaster mortar also dried out quite quickly. That was because of the sun and the wind. So I had to level the stucco fairly quickly after application and then correct it. At one point I decided to do some plaster early in the morning and late afternoon.

After I finished plastering I leveled the floor. Due to the rain damage, the floor was too coarse to walk on with bare feet. I also think it is always necessary to level a concrete floor, with or without rain damage.
During the drying time of the cement on the walls and floor, I had started to apply curbstones, parallel to the edge of the pool. Pool edge tiles are generally 30 cm wide. The concrete blocks are 20 cm wide. So I had to make the pool edge wider for the edge tiles. Hence the application of the curbstones which I have built on the wall of stabilized sand.
After the cement on the walls and floor had dried for a sufficient time, I applied the blue rubber paint. Finally, after this job, the swimming pool was no longer a large gray area, but it had the beautiful sky blue color that you expect from a swimming pool. That is why I especially liked this job.
The chlorinated rubber paint had to dry for at least 12 days before the pool could be filled with water. If during that period rain would fall on a day, 1 day of drying time must be added. Fortunately during that period it only rained on 1 day, so after 13 days I could start filling the pool with water which will be displayed in the next video.

Cheap swimming pool construction. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Nicely done! I'm about to build a cinder block pool. Still undecided about using a liner or this method, Thanks for sharing!
Succes with building your pool.
Beautiful
Thank you.
Inspiring! Good work, it gives me much to think about.
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for the compliment. I hope your thinking doesn't give you a headache? :-)
@@MartinVledder With the aid of your free knowledge, I can avoid less headaches- so thanks again!

About to do something generally similar in my backyard in the next year, but with a deep end and a bottom drain used for both the pump and emptying the pool for refilling. I appreciate the detailed documentation of this guide. I’ll have to do mine in what we call Georgia Red Clay instead of sandy loam - wish me luck.
Thanks for the feedback and I do wish you the best of luck with the construction of your swimming pool in the Georgia Red Clay.
Awesome
Thank you.
You did a fabulous job.
I want to build one just like it.
I got to rent a Big Jackhammer Excavator, I'm in solid granite.
Thank you. Removing granite, that is quite a challenge.
Great series! Can't wait to build my own🏊🏾♀️ Greetings from 🇿🇦
Thank you, good luck with the build of your own pool.
I'm building something similar indoors but only a foot deep, its for washing area rugs in, its what we do. I will be doing pretty much everything you have done but will be tiling the floor and walls, will i need the 10day drying paint and then tile over or is there something else i need to do before tiling the floor and walls. any advice would be great. Breeze block walls, concrete floor, then self levelling compound, then i was just going to tile but ive been told i need to make sure the concrete and walls are water proof before tiling, what would be a good product to use? preferably something that doesnt take 10 days to dry. great video, very informative. thanks
Hi, thank you for the compliments. I'm not a real expert on the subject regarding your question. But I know that you can buy a special material to mix with cement instead of using water. That material will make the plaster water resistant. I believe it is not wise to tile over the paint which I used.
Hi Martin, thank you for your videos. For the plaster I am confused, did you use special waterproof plaster? Or just normal plaster (that you would use in a house) followed by waterproof paint? Did you put anything under the plaster on the concrete blocks that was designed to waterproof them? Or just the normal stuff for non-swimming pool use?
It seems like your main waterproof method is the paint. Is that correct? Thank you for your help!
Hi Joshua, The paint is indeed the layer that ensures that the swimming pool water is not absorbed by the walls. With the blue paint I basically put 2 coats of rubber on the walls. The plaster is a normal plaster but was suitable for outdoor use. The primer was necessary for better adhesion of the plaster to the concrete walls. Greetings, Martin.
Hi Martin me again. We have finished the rendering and are just about to paint. Did you do anything special to the plaster/ render before you painted? Acid clean or prime ? Also how long before you have to repaint? Thank you for all of your help regards Deb
Hi Deb, I didn't do anything special before painting. The only important thing is that the stucco layer is completely dry before you can paint it. I took a period of 4 weeks for that. And I swept the walls and floor a few times so that I didn't paint over loose cement and dust. I vacuumed up the dust that fell on the floor. That's about it. I really don't know when to repaint. That will tell the future. To date, after 3 years at my pool, it is still not necessary. Good luck painting.
Hi Martin, really nice job! I am currently doing my pool also myself, just about to plaster it, what did you use for that?, just zement and sand?, or something different? Thanks!
Hi Altor,
I used Cement-bound stucco mortar of the brand Beamix, type 500 light grey, suitable for outside use. I bought 20 bags (20 kg each) at the hardware store and only had to mix it with water.
Before the plastering I impregnated the walls two times with a universal primer (I used 2 liters of primer). I hope this information helps you?
@@MartinVledder Hi Martin, I really appreciate your fast answer, I plan to do it with PCI Nanocret FC, but I was unsure if I should maybe apply a first layer with normal Mortel Zement based and then the final layer with PCI Nanocret FC
@@aitorlegarda1986 I can't advice you on this, sorry.
Hallo
Tolle Arbeit 👍👍👍 welche Farbe wurde bei dem pool verwendet? Und halt diese geute immernoch? Freundliche Grüße
Hallo Danke dir. Ich habe hellblaue Farbe mit dem Code S1050-B20G von Vista verwendet.
Hi Martin I do hope you and your family are well. I have more questions and I really appreciate your help along the way. We have started to render the walls and have been following the instructions from a renderer who advised us however some of the render has developed tiny hair line cracks. I have been wetting down the walls each day (it’s been very hot here in Australia) I am wondering if this happened to you and if so what did you do? I am tempted to skim more plaster over the top but my husband is unsure. Again I appreciate your help thanks
Hi Deb, thanks for your reaction. Everything is fine here. Very annoying that you have hairline cracks in the cement. I had maybe a few (3 or 4) hairline cracks at the time. But they were barely visible. They were also still visible after I smeared the blue paint on them. I wasn't too concerned about that. And that turned out to be right because it hasn't gotten any worse. In other words, it's not a problem for me. I understand that you want to put more plaster on it, but then hairline cracks can appear again and that's how you keep going.
Hi there love the way you built this but I need to see how you built from scratch? and how the pipes is added
Thank you for the compliment. When you visit my TH-cam channel 'Martin Vledder' you will find all the videos of the building of my pool, from scratch to the final result. Even a video with detailed information about the cost.
Thank you so much will do that @@MartinVledder
you could also shade from the sun
Thank you for this feedback.
nice job, what was the price for all together?
Hi Wolfgang thanks for the compliment. In part 9 "The costs" you can see in detail all the partial costs in addition to the total costs. Click on the following link if you want to watch this video . th-cam.com/video/ec_e2vW_iAQ/w-d-xo.html
Hallo, wat zijn de afmetingen van de blokken? En waar zijn ze te koop? Alvast bedankt!
Dag Mohamed, een blok is 29 cm lang, 20 cm breed en 19 cm hoog. Ik heb ze destijds gekocht bij "Brok bouwmaterialen". www.bouwmaterialenkopen.com/betonblokken-29x20x19cm.html
Groet, Martin
Hi Martin ,
I’m South Africa and I have started my own pool project. For the wall plaster ,how thick of a plaster did you use on the wall ?
Hi, I applied a layer thickness of 1 cm.
@@MartinVledder thanks Martin for sharing your knowledge and experience on your pool diy design .🙏
@@theosokupa2861 Thank you Theo for your response and goodluck with te build of your pool.
build a pool with brick is cheap the cement or not? i want to buil my onw pool and i dont want to spend to much
I wouldn't say it's cheap, but it does offer you the opportunity to build a pool as you see fit. You are in control of the dimensions and you can build the swimming pool in phases.
Brick walling or RCC , which one is more preferable??
Hi Manas,
I'm not an expert in this. Perhaps a reinforced concrete wall is sturdier. I do know that bricklaying concrete blocks allowed me to do it all by myself and the freedom to do it at my own pace.
@@MartinVledder we are also having the same criteria. Brick walling, we have some freedom. For RCC , we have to dependant on other critical factors. But I am not sure, what is durability of brick walling.
@@manasdas4386 For me I can only say "Time will tell".
Hallo,
Habe ich das richtig verstanden das es bei ihrem Pool gar keine Folie sondern mit Wasserfester Farbe dicht gemacht wurde?
Haben sie da evtl einen Namen der Farbe?
Danke im voraus und super Projekt
Hallo Markus,
Vielen Dank. Und ja, das hast du richtig verstanden.
Ich habe Farbe der Marke "Vista Zwembadverf" verwendet. Dies ist eine chlorierte Gummifarbe, die zum Schutz und zur Verschönerung von Schwimmbädern, Spielteichen und Zierteichen geeignet ist. Ich habe die Farbe Hellblau verwendet. In Teil 9 finden Sie weitere Informationen zu allen von mir verwendeten Materialien und Werkzeugen. Hier ist der Link zur Website der Firma, bei der ich die Farbe gekauft habe.

Viel Glück
Hallo Martin,
wie hast du den Übergang vom verputzen, gemauerten Pool zu den Einbauteilen gemacht?
Hast du mit Acrly dort gearbeitet oder den Putz?
Gruß
Christian
P.S. tolles Projekt sieht klasse aus
@jonas wörhle Hallo Christian,
Danke für das Kompliment.
Die Kanten der Einbauteile, die den Stuck berühren, habe ich mit spezieller weißer Schwimmbadversiegelung (Silikondichtmasse), gekauft bei Zwembad.eu, versiegelt. Nur um sicherzustellen, dass kein Wasser hinter den Stuck gelangt und es auf Dauer abgehen könnte. Aus dem gleichen Grund habe ich auch den Zierflansch des Skimmers auf die Innenseite geklebt.
Grüße, Martin

@@MartinVledder wieviel Liter hast du für diesen Pool benötigt ? Genügt 1 Anstrich ? Vielen Dank für die Antwort
@@user-ee3yi7fh2c Ich habe 4 x 2,5 Liter Farbdosen bestellt. Ich habe nur 2,5 Dosen verbraucht. Also mit 3 Dosen à 2,5 Liter hatte ich mehr als genug für 2 Farbschichten. 1 Schicht reicht nicht aus, bei der ersten Schicht muss viel Farbe in die Wand einziehen, dann verbraucht man am meisten Farbe. Sie werden auch Farbunterschiede sehen. Mit der zweiten Schicht verbraucht man viel weniger Farbe und sieht keine Farbunterschiede mehr. Ich habe es bei 2 Mänteln gelassen. Ich hätte möglicherweise eine dritte Schicht auftragen können. Ich habe mich dagegen entschieden, da das Ergebnis nach 2 Schichten schon sehr gut war.
How long do thus paint last?
Hi, I don't know how long the paint will last. I do know that the paint is on the walls and floor now for the third year and it still looks good.
Hi Martin we are just about to render. The questions I have are. Did you just do the one coat of stucco? We are concerned about not being able to render the whole job in one day. Did you have any issues joining the new render with the render you finished the day before? Can you give some advice about joining new to previous? Also how thick was the coat? Sorry about all the questions but appreciate your response. We are hoping to be able to swim this summer (Australian) it certainly has been a labor of love Deb
Hi Deb, I did indeed apply 1 coat of stucco. I certainly couldn't get the job done in 1 day. It's pretty hard work. It took me 5 or 6 days. I had no problems continuing from where I left off the previous day. It actually came naturally. Maybe it's better to do whole planes from corner to corner. But you are highly dependent on the amount of stucco you have created and the speed at which it dries. I noticed that at a certain point I had to stop because the plastering was no longer going so well. The next day I just started plastering again where I left off. And that went well. I planned a thickness of 1 cm. But in practice the layer at the bottom is thicker than at the top. That's because I always worked, strip by strip, from the bottom up. I applied a few strips of stucco and after a while I corrected the unevenness, smoothing it out with a clean trowel that I kept damp. Later again, when the stucco almost hardens, I did that with a wet sponge. That way I could get it fairly even. I had never plastered before, so to be honest I was a bit apprehensive about it. I just decided to start and learned during the plastering what went well and what not to do. A professional plasterer will be very critical of my work, but I did it my way and was quite pleased with the end result. Good luck with the job. Greetings, Martin.
Can i make this with no pain for duck?
Sorry, but your question doesn't make any sense to me. Could you refrase the question?
I did normal plaster and waterproof painting is that enough ?
Hi Nory,
I used normal plaster, for outside use, too. About the paint I'm not sure. I used special swimming pool paint with a rubber coating. I'm not sure if waterproof paint is suitable. Time will tell ;-).
You call it plastering, but it looks like stucco to me. What are you using mortar mix to do this? Stucco is just mortar spread out flat and thin. What is the name of the paint you are using?
Hi MRM, I think you are right. I used light gray cement-bound stucco mortar from the brand Beamix. The paint is a Vista pool paint. Ordered online at "bestel-verf.nl".
What mix did you use for the floor of the pool? Thanks in advance
Hi Kelly, the company that poured the concrete floor used 4 m³ of "concrete c20/25 xc2 liquid fine gravel". I hope this makes sense to you?
@@MartinVledder I don’t know the first thing about concrete, but we are trying to do one of these pools and when I called for a price on concrete, they asked what mix I needed and I had no idea what to tell them so maybe they will know! Thank you so much!
@@kellycharif1526 This will help them for sure.
Why wouldn't you just use pool plaster?
Hi Slavio,
Because the plaster layer absorbs water, it has to be covered with a layer that repels the water. Moreover, I think a blue pool is more beautiful than a gray pool.
Which one is more preferable,, brick walling or RCC walling ???
