/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1631693
have you ever maintained a pool before?

if not, do not consider making one yourself. when you fuck it up it will cost you tens of thousands to fix

>>1631693
just dig a trench and line it with a tarp
when you're sick of it, fill it back in

>>1631693
Indoor or outdoors? Above or below ground?

>>1631693
What i'd do is build it on a slope to make draining it easier, maybe use a thick layer of clay if you want a natural pool for frogs and fish

Why would maintaining one make me more ready to build one?

>>1631767
Outdoors, below ground. Not sure what kind of pool to build. People say gunite is the best. Regular concrete seems the easiest to pull off.

>>1631814
Gunite is best
The surrounding ground make up is extremely important. If you're like mine and all suger sand in a extremely wet/rain environment expect constant sag on the liner

>>1631819
that thing looks a pain in the ass to maintain
that's a lot of water. i'd panic. what if something happens.

First you need to dig a hole, 500 ft deep. The rest is pretty simple

Came here to mention that if anon can dig a whole 500ft deep, I have faith that OP can dig a small backyard pool and mix some quickrete.

I saw them do it on king of the hill, looks doable. Dig a big hole, lay down a rebar mesh, add cement.
