yeah. I did landings and footings and mixed like a dozen bags of quickrete a day a few years back. My concern here is it is NOt a single pour so the concrete joints could separate, and lead to potential leaks in the future. Do not want to rely on the liner as the final barrier.
Hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day the greatness in you is beautiful. Goodnight
The crack in the concrete is horrible! I stared at the crack the whole time. They didn't even attempt to fill it in and smooth it over. That whole section should have been re-done.
Actually, this project cost somewhere around $40,000, fully outsourcing the installation. Cost can vary depending on how much of the project you choose to do on your own.
Royal Swimming Pools , you forgot the price of the mandatory safety fence around the pool and maintenance chemicals , pool cleaners , replanting grass around the pool , then yearly upkeep
@@jimthomas777 Because of the safety cover there is no mandatory safety fence required. Replanting grass cost roughly $100 in seed, plus then additional water cost. Chemicals in this system cost roughly $50 per month. A pool vacuum and a brush, which is all that is required to keep this pool clean due to the added benefit of the automatic cover, cost roughly $100. But yes, like anything you would ever purchase for your home, maintenance and upkeep is required.

You are probably spot on, we had a 20 by 40 installed with 3 feet decking, diving board, salt water system and heater for 27,00 four years ago. Year later we ha the excavation work done around the pool as the back has ground height three feet lower. Two retaining walls were done and they did all the grading and compaction for about 2100 square feet of patio (includes up by my front door patio as well). The next year I installed a versa lol patio around half the pool (back half is river rock and is by retaining wall), and we had another versa lok Wall with steps and connecting walkway from front door patio to side on house with pool done professionally. I did not think I would get that wall done correctly so hired it out, I am glad I did. Fence was installed after that. Last year I built a pizza oven (base was a 5x5 pad with rebar that the excavation company moved into place for me when they graded the patio area. It sat for a year on the spot it is located to finish any more settling and the pavers were installed around it. I built that last summer and just finished veneer stone on the block wall base two days ago. Most of the design I found online, and the materials were all used or reclaimed except for fire brick, the mortars and veneer stone around base. I saved money on fire blanket as a buddy had built one few years ago and had a whole bunch left. We have done small other odds and ends but all told we are in it for about 80,000 grand. Pool was a small portion of that. Most of the hardscaping was done by me to save cost and it still was a punch to the gut. I love how it turned out, it looks beautiful in the summer when pool is open but in my area it will not matter for home value (central NY). If I were to do it again, I would go same route but much smaller scale, also build on FLAT land! Excavation work was 15,000 with another 8 or 9 in the three retaining walls material and one installed by another crew.
@@flynriderr well when you consider a crew of 5, two solid weeks of work (80 hrs), at $60/hour, plus a foreman at $90/hour, you are looking at $31k plus in labor alone.
I used to build concrete wall swimming pools. A little more complicated than the steel walls but, hey a pools a pool once you have liner in 🤷🏻♂️ This is neat to watch lol Also i’m surprised you guys didn’t put a concrete footer around the perimeter of the base.
I was thinking the same lol. Every pool we did poured a footer to hold the walls. Mostly fiber glass walls. I really enjoyed building pools but my boss retired after 52 years.
I don't understand why a vinyl liner was used. Is it cheaper than using gunite and real tiles around the inside top? Won't the vinyl deteriorate? It is a very attractive pool! But that vinyl liner thing...I don't know.
Well done to your company.. I just dont understand why home owners drop all that money on a brand new in ground pool and brand new concrete all around it but leave the old preexisting cracked to shit old patio leading up to all that brand new beautiful work...drives me crazy
That person is lucky that they didn’t have problems with trees in the way and a lot of groundwater from a lake and from a storm I speak from experience
Hope that was a self install not gonna make any money taking a month! Lol. I built inground pools many years had them full of water in 3 days typically. Nice work though
I wonder how many weeks before that bottom to crack and cut the vinyl. C’mon, a little cement won’t work. Lame job, I wouldn’t ever buy it. I am glad they show it first
Did y'all pour a collar, concrete footing, around the walls? I build pools we use wood walls or polymer. We do a lot of liner over steps also, we do our bottoms out of sand and Portland cement, i hate using pool krete, but they do make good bottoms.
I agree! They did not pour a footing at all. I have been building and grounds steel wall vinyl liner swimming pools and polymer pools for 20 years and it seems like everything is kind of backwards in the video. Bit everyone does things differently so who am I to judge.
I read a few other comments from people wondering the same thing, and the company responded that they did pour a footer, but it just wasn't identified in the video.
@Marianne Contrino thank you for the correction. I still find some of the steps backwards. I would never put a liner in before backfilling. I can only imagine someone dump a bucket of dirt in the pool !😣
@@christenm3200 pending on material and bracing hell yeah! But the steel in this video with the aframes will be fine. Always good to have that backfill tho
Wow wow wow best ever great way to make a pool an like the way steps go all the across.the men and company did a fantastic job and then some just perfect👍😁
I could see the lack of backfilling concrete behind the steel wall and not sealing the seams between the shallow end slope and the wall slopes causing small debris to get behind the liner and causing problems 8+ years down the line
It is Pool Krete that they are using. It is made of Portland cement and ecpanded vermiculite and you do not use rebar or wire mesh in this product. This will last for years with minimal patching to do on liner changes.
It looks like they did NOT do the pool bottom concrete all at one "pour". So to me, the joints would NOT be waterproof. Yes the liner could be the final waterproof barrier, but I would be very worried about water leaks over time. One tear or leak and water seeps out the bottom of the pool, sand and foundation subside, sag, etc. I see that as a big potential flaw. Foundation settling, etc leads to even more possible concrete spaces
We have an above ground 20*40 with 7 foot deep end. The base is special gravel then sand. We have had leaks before but the formation holds without concrete or rebar. We just took out a large cash refi but with construction costs sky high, our kitchen and decks ate up our in ground pool budget. We want to do this within two years.
@@musicguitar yeah, you can find guys that will do it for way less but I wouldn't trust them, you might can get buy spending about 25,000 but it definitely was more than 14000. The contractor wouldn't have made any money.
This pool is perfect! It’s simple, clean lines, steps are perfect for relaxing, it’s inviting, and big enough for the family while being too small for the neighbors to invite themselves over. Great job!
Hmm pools are built differently now. When they built ours back in the early 90s they did the rebar frame and sprayed concrete. Now it's a hole, frame, and a liner
tony hill OH MY GOODNESS! I’m no expert so I was gonna keep it to myself but I was definitely thinking “wow! So you can just pour that on the dirt like that?!”
Is there a reason they didn’t use steel rebar in the bottom for added strength? It seems like that concrete will be more likely to crack. A lot more likely.
We bought a house with a pool that needed reno, finally got to it last year, we didn't want a deep end so we filled it and its basically level depth with a minor slant. Anyways the pool guy did not put any reinforcement metal such as rebar under the poolcrete. SO Ive come to the conclusion that pool crete is not exactly the same as concrete and doesn't need reinforcement. (Just my conclusion from the guys doing same with my pool.
Your deep end has to be 8ft or deeper to install a diving board (legally.) It's possible to put one in a vinyl liner, if that's what you're asking. The trend nowadays people are getting away from the traditional 3ft shallow and 8ft deep pools and are going for what they call "sports pools." The deepest a sports pool usually is, is about 5 - 5.5ft.
They think that this ad will influence me to buy an inground swimming pool but jokes on them, I'm poor and cant even afford a kiddie pool
😂 same
HAHAHA 😂🤣
...murder hornet...?!
🤣🤣
Same can be done with a shove and some quick creat!
I’ve seen many walls bow due to not back filling before filling pool. Always backfill first
Love the music !!! Great video
Damn yall mixed it in a wheelbarrow? We always had a dedicated guy up top with a mixer
yeah. I did landings and footings and mixed like a dozen bags of quickrete a day a few years back. My concern here is it is NOt a single pour so the concrete joints could separate, and lead to potential leaks in the future. Do not want to rely on the liner as the final barrier.

It never occured to me that a guy would have to get in the pool to do concrete work after it was filled.
Our PB had a guy in an innertube to float around while finishing the coping. He was cold. lol
Only on a fiberglass pool. This was not a great video to show how professionals do it lol
And now we head to the comments section for expert insight and analysis.
mellow drone cheap way of putting a pool in. Good luck with that liner and keeping the pool clean
Thumbs way up. I didn't know that this was a nine-minute commercial!
it amazes me during the backfilling step they didn’t get a single drop of dirt in that water
Random question but how much did the Entire process cost? From the excavating, crew EVERYTHING?
@johnny smit OMG, you must be kidding man. No way they spent 75 000 ...
My buddy did a salt water heated pool, kidney shaped, not to big. 50K.

What no wall foam didn't tape the panel seams and no concrete collar around the out of the walls unless it's missing from the time lapse

Terrible construction method on both the steps and the concrete.
Is there a reason they didn’t use steel rebar in the bottom for added strength? It seems like that concrete will be more likely to crack. A lot more likely.

So..... No pouring concrete footer around the base outside the pool walls. Seems to me you would have some settling issues over time.

Your deep end has to be 8ft or deeper to install a diving board (legally.) It's possible to put one in a vinyl liner, if that's what you're asking. The trend nowadays people are getting away from the traditional 3ft shallow and 8ft deep pools and are going for what they call "sports pools."
