25 Meter (SCM) Backyard Lap Pool Construction Timelapse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 май 2020
- Construction of 25 Meter, two lane lap pool. 85K gallons.
Best viewed on TV in 1080P.
Video is geared towards the pool construction enthusiast audience - might be a bit long-winded for the casual viewer - apologies.
Edit: For those viewers that are "pool nerds" like me - here are some fun specs on the pool.
Length: 82’
Width: Main pool area: 19’
Bench / Baja / Spa sections: 33’
Depth: Baja Shelf / back bench: ~22”
Around spa: 3’
Shallow end lap lanes: 4’
Centerline of pool: 4’6”
Deep end: 10’
Excavation:
600 cubic yards volume in ground
72 x 12-yard-trucks hauled off
(3 work days - 5 guys)
Steel:
~18,000 LF #4 rebar
(1.5 work days - 4 guys)
Plumbing:
~300 LF 3" PVC
~1,300 LF 2" PVC
~350 LF 1.5" PVC
(6 work days - 3 guys)
Gunite:
190 cubic yards (probably more like 160 in place after rebound loss and shot compression)
10" walls top to bottom, 9" floors
(1.5 work days ~ 18 guys)
1st clean-up:
30 cubic yards
(0.5 work days - 4 guys)
Tile & Coping:
400 SF glass
220 SF split-face
330 LF 5cm coping
(10 work days - 4 guys)
Flatwork:
32 cubic yards
(3 work days ~12 guys)
Plaster:
7 cubic yards of Wet-Edge Southern Lights
(0.75 work days ~30 guys)
Total Construction Time without flood would have likely landed between 4 and 6 months (depending on how much we hired out vs doing ourselves.)
With the flood and rebuilding the house though, it stretched to about 3 years - with long breaks in-between phases of the pool project post-flood.

A lot of folks are asking about price in the comments section
It's easier for me to explain it here and it makes more sense to provide a range. (2017 dollars)
That range is dependent on several variables including regional pricing for labor and materials, engineering requirements due to soil conditions, how much work is contracted out vs. done by the home owner, water features, deck equipment selection and the quality of the materials / equipment used.
Low-end: If engineering requirements were minimal, soil conditions were ideal, regional pricing was average, standard plaster (non-aggregate finish) were selected, less expensive tile were used, water features were minimal and the home owner built a lot of the non-technical parts of the project themselves (IE: landscaping), a project like this could reasonably run around $200K.
High end: If the engineering design called for additional structural components (thicker walls, piers under the shell, etc), regional pricing for labor and materials were higher than average, the property sat atop bedrock, premium selections on plaster, tile, equipment and water features were selected, and all aspects of the project were run through contractors, it could easily run up into the $300k-$400k range or more.
This pool came in towards the lower end of the pricing spectrum due to favorable soil conditions (no rock for excavators, no engineering requirements for structural piers), favorable material and labor market and doing much of the non-technical work on our own.
Another question several people have asked in the comments section is what the monthly maintenance cost is. The short answer is that it varies quite a bit month to month. To get it to a stable monthly value, the annual cost /12 would probably be the easiest method. (These are approximate numbers)
Annual: (Updated for 2023 pricing)
200 gallons Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5%: $600
60 gallons Muriatic Acid 31.45%: $280
200# sodium bicarbonate: $100
110# boric acid: $240
150# tri-chlor: $600
60k gal water (evaporation assuming no rain): $390
(Surprisingly, this is less than half the amount of water it took to keep grass alive per year before the pool)
250 MMBTU natural gas: $3,000
Mechanical maintenance: $2,000
8,300 kWh Electricity: $1,162
There are some other random items like calcium chloride, diatomaceous earth, pool brushes, etc that come up periodically but they can probably be wrapped up in that $1k mechanical maintenance figure.
$8,372/ 12 = $698/mo
We do the maintenance ourselves. Otherwise the labor would likely be the highest cost.
I hope you enjoy the time-lapse.
Cheers!

Facts
Are you the home owner, pool builder, or both?
Matt - we are the home owners - we spent 12 years designing, engineering, creating the construction plans, selecting materials / equipment and saving money for the pool, and then contracted with a local builder and his contractors for the technical portions of the build. We did some of the less specialized work like the pavilion, first deck coating, fencing, some of the demolition, irrigation systems, artificial turf under the trampoline, etc to help save some money.
@@BackyardLapPool 12 years?
chemical commander yeah - not continuous on the planning front - but saving the whole time. Usually we would work on the design a bit here and there as we saw things we liked on pool shows or ideas my wife spotted on Pinterest. I did the CAD work and we probably went through a couple dozen versions of the pool till we landed on its current form. We had the lot drilled by geotechnical engineers and the shell designed by another firm based on the soil core samples. When we were comfortable with the design, we reached out to a local builder to contract the trades.
I know 2 guys that could have done this whole job with sticks
Lmao
why doesn't this have more likes lol
Yes haha
I thought the same thing, they need a time lapse too
Haha. I'm pretty certain they are why this was recommended to me.
I was expecting a single person to build this in the middle of a jungle with only a spoon, but great video nontheless!
'Most beautiful pool built by fancy mansion' would be the vid you want🤣
😂😂😂love those videos
Litterally thought the same 😂
Me too!!
No spoon used here...this is a "lot of money pool". 😂
this home better produce multiple generations of record-breaking elite swimmers.
This guy: "Let's build a big pool in the backyard"
Hurricane Harvey: "Why not do the whole backyard?"
This pool is bigger than my home.
Yeah,in brazil speak:
Caraca mano essa piscina é maior que minha casa ;-;

This was good... But I prefer the two Indian guys with a stick.

behind the scenes with the excavator 😂
Eww indian build it won't last any year Lol at least this have cement, tiles and clean water
@@SilverAsh0356 sounds racist to me
@@SilverAsh0356 and westerners have homes but still want to live in wild. Pretty reasonable!! Bdw why don't you stop using Google. Its ceo n 30% workforce is Indian you know.. racist piece of sh!t!
My heart sank when you showed the photos of what the hurricane did after getting that gorgeous pool installed, but glad you guys got it looking great again👏🏼
Me thinking the pool is done: 😀
The video: *hurricane Harvey*
Me: 😮
Contractor: "So how big do you want the pool?"
HO: "I'm tired of cutting grass"
Contractor: "I gotchu"
Yes! Lolll
If you dig too deep you'll open a portal to the pits of hell 😂
How much you think this costed to build?
😂
@@bobthebuilder8223 id say about 75k
According to my insights, "They are Rich"
Is that you captain obvious???
I'm going to guess this is around the Sugar Land area of Houston... lol
@@JacqueCharwood lol
No Sh t
Yeah if your BUILDING you need an inheritance. But buying a house with a pool already installed is much more reasonable. Being that you didn’t design the pool.
That hurricane was the most unexpected plot twist ever
Who needs a pool when you got river
Who wants to watch a 21-minute video about a pool being built?........turns out, I did! Awesome job!
Your kid's better won some gold in Olympics
Might be his kid a swimmer gold medalist!
Mad respect for driving that thing thru that small entrance back and forth 45000 times.
If it was 72 x 12yd truck loads and the Bobcat looked like he was loading a full-ish bucket then that makes it ballpark 1,000 times
Cassette Walkman they did! The math!
At first I was thinking surely you can afford to hire a bigger bobcat then realised it was because of the small space
that guy has no nerves left
Right
Such an ambitious project, to have your own 25 meter pool would be a huge luxury
If you had told me that "someone could dig an entire pool with a skidsteer", then I would have responded "that would take forever". Yet, it only took 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Impressive. :)
this video called me poor
Me too
relate
I vow lol
Yep me too
Same Here... I was depressed after watching this..🤔
Was not expecting the hurricane Harvey part😂
@Phizz 15:07
None of us Houstonians were expecting it, it was supposed to hit Corpus Christi 🤷♀️
That hurricane must have been a heartbreaking setback.
That’s the biggest residential pool I have ever seen in my life and I’ve seen some wild pool build’s I’ve built and worked in the business for over 10 years for a place called Blue Haven pool’s also ran a cleaning service and this is even bigger than the apartment pools I had 😂😂 super rad pool! Congratulations
I'm already stressing about the water bill and it ain't even mine haha
Who pays for water?
@@mr.be.5630 me for a bottled water
Don't worry, they're rich😂
Who cleans the pool
@@mr.be.5630 Lots of people. I do and I live in a gated community. It sucks cause the water tastes awful.
Me: Why do you need a pool that big?
American: Yes.
They swim competitively. It's for practice.
For real lol...the whole garden gone. Pool probably won't even be used half the time too
Thank you I was thinking the same thing. They had so much space to work with. They could of built a smaller pool and had room for other backyard stuff.
They’ll use it every day unless it’s snowing most likely. They’re competitive swimmers.
Love how people say American like others dont do stuff like this lol get out more
Me: so how much money do you have?
Them: yes.
All the negative weird remarks are a sad reminder of how jealous, annoying, judgmentally toxic people can be.
Just chill & enjoy the video. It’s a beautiful & amazing pool. It’s clear they can afford it, it’s their yard & not your concern abt “reselling”. You don’t even know anything abt the owners, so why even remark abt reselling when they’re not even thinking of it?
Much bitterness. They like it, they wanted it, it’s their money, period.
Why can’t humans just be happy for each other? How does their pool affect your life directly, to act like you had a say in the construction? 🙄
That’s a wealthy neighborhood..
thats a middle class neighborhood in Texas.
Get rid of of the neighborhood and leave the hood that where I live
@@jackblackler9189 YOU DON'T HAVE NEIGHBORS 😧😧😧
*rich
I agree
When your whole family are competitive swimmers :
A moment of total admiration for the Bobcat operator. MAD skills!
No shit…. He killed it. I would have gone crazy one bucket a time like that
Cleaning + water Bill's must be outrageous.
I just watched someone practically flex all their money all over me for 21 minutes... and enjoyed it
I came here for this exact comment.
Ikr
Yeah but you saw the end?? Harvey messed em up :( .. such a shame
@@jamesfeltner124 same here
@@PJJ196 They are doing just fine. 😆
I mean, I like big pools but also big yards.
It's a lap pool. Probably for practice.
They swim in the olympics and private lesson coaches no names will be mentioned but it’s also their business to have a world class pool.
Thank goodness it’s not your house
Can't have everything
Been over 40 years since I did any gunite work; but this footage went way to fast to tell if this was actual gunite or shotcrete at first; then I saw where they were shoveling rebound out which indicates gunite. Gunite is a dry mix with water injected at the nozzle and shotcrete is a wet mix with air injected at the nozzle. Many people got ripped off in the past getting pools built by shotcrete vs actual gunite; being charged a gunite price vs what is charged for shotcrete. Gunite is far stronger than shotcrete. Anyhow, I was very impressed with the way the pool was laid out using the earth as the form vs building a separate form and back-filling. Nice job guys!
One day I'm gonna have a lap pool. I miss swimming competitively a lot now that I'm older. Awesome build, it has lane lines flags and everything
The hurricane part took me by surprise I was like that’s a step in building a pool?
Mom Margret well it is in fact all pools made must be tested by the might of the storm
Kira Yozuro 😂
Time stamp
Mom Margret could have filled it for free hahahah
Calvin Williams lmao I was thinking the same thing 😂😂 but they’d have to clean it anyways
Pool guys: How much pool do you want in your backyard?
Owners: yes
Damn these people must be serious swimmers. Good for them
Hell yeah 😂😂😂
"Honey, how big shall we make the swimming pool?"
"American size big, honey"
but...metric.
Tht harvey thing was soul draining for a min, glad they got the backyard bk
That water bill watching this like👁👄👁
And their bank account be like: Money goes BRRRRR
This needs more likes 😂😂
There is a whole filtering system. It’s chlorine water
One of the best private pools I ever saw. I'm jealous 🥰
Successfully concreted and sealed the whole plot, congrats ;)
I see you do self maintenance, but if it gets real nasty, don't forget to holla ya boy for the pool work!
😂😂👌🏾
I just watched his pool cleaning tiktok XD
👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽👌🏽
And give him a drink, as a customer
"Holla ya boy for the pool work"
Me : You have a pool in your backyard?
This Guy : My backyard is a pool.
Absolutely amazing what you can do when you have money. Nice pool.
You can tell the did a good job by how straight the water is on top of the pool.
Well done.
"lap pool" is a bit of an understatement. This is full on swimming pool.
shit, you can have kayak races in that pool
The way the little girl was in the deep side I could tell the family are swimmers so a pool this size is probably something they use daily
they've also got centre markers and lane ropes
The family are not just swimmers, they are rich...
The music compared to the hurricane section of this video really gives "Yeah Harvey really wrecked our shit but THE POOL WAS GOOD THO"
They better be raising olympic swimmers
okay. we all got to admit. we stay up until 5am watching pool “building” videos..
Whoever owns this place, can you adopt me???
I am so happy this video actually spent some time showing the owners/people swimming in it. So many vides just show a huge build, but kind of miss out on the "using it" part. Thanks. And thanks for including the cost details.
Damn thing costs as much as a house but it looks awesome! I wouldn't want to maintain it though lol
At least the hurricane didn’t hit when it was a dirt hole... that would have sucked
The most amazing thing about this video is that dozer having to drive through that tiny gap 1,000 times without hitting the house
@@6thUser you can literally see the pieces of wood on the wall of the house and garage just to protect the brickwork
yes, 50 seconds in and I'll think about this for the hole "dig" section...
This has to be some US pro/Olympic swimmers house surely?
That pool is ginormous, for a home residence. The work shown is still impressive.
See yall when this gets recommended again in 10 years 😗✌🏽
when i seen the bonus footage i realized why they built such a large pool
Thank you for sharing your experience through this video and the construction remarks. A pool is about sharing. This is what you have done here. Proportions aside, I will try to replicate your work. Cheers!
25m=82ft 🤯
❤️ Adding pavilion 💯
Wow has to be 1 of BEST POOLS I have seen!!
I've watched ALOT of pool videos and never seen so many ppl working on a pool @once!!! 🤯
Everyone is complaining how it is too big and there isn't enough yard space left for anything. If you watched to the end you can see that the people this pool is made for is for Swimmers. They don't play soccer or football for sport, then swim. This pool is do big because it is a lap pool that they use for practice. Of course no one needs a swimming pool this big just for chilling and hanging out. They are using this pool for training. It needed to be this size.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If I had the yard this is what I would have built.
And to be drug traffickers or friends of the deep state to afford it 😱🤣🤣🤣😊😂😂🤣🤣 its bigger than public pools in the UK
yeah,obviously they just watched the first half of it,did not go tru the end! 😂
I’m so high I thought this guy was playing Minecraft
This deserves too comment
Lol!!!’
That must've cost a fortune yet can't help but notice the cheap wooden fence around it falling apart lol its awesome nevertheless
Prices in description. Can you explain what's cheap looking and falling apart? Bothered that the wood is not painted in 1 flat color?
i'm just impressed by the number of people working on your pool, you must have spent top dollars on your contractor
when the girl went in the underwater hole my anxiety rose up
omfg yes!!!!
Same!! I couldnt catch my breath
My anxiety kicked in when she went thru the mini túnel under the jacuzzi, I’m like what if she gets stuck in there 😂 🤦🏻♂️ oh nooooo.
Lol same! I can't hold my breathe underwater for too long so it felt like I was the one in there and I was scared what if she drowned
Yeah, me too.
This pool is better than our local aquatic center!
In my town we dont have any local aquatic center 😔👌
Not $200-400k better though...
This is the exact reason I have friends with pools!
One of my dreams is to have a version of this pool installed in my backyard. Mine would be half as wide with no deep end, and no jacuzzi. I'd probably go with a saltwater pool so that I could add a real shark to lend a sense of urgency to my workouts.
😂😂😂
Gonna be swimming so fast you'll be the aqua-flash
LMAO
he said it cost him like 200k and maintaining it cost him like 700 a month. i would be happy just to have a third of that without the jacuzzi too. 50-70k and 250 a month to maintain it seems reasonable to me if wife pays half.
You should've hire the guy who built swimming pools in the middle of the jungle
Wow! Now that is how you do a pool!!😍 Looks amazing and so much fun! Love the sunken area made into the pool as well! What a group of hard workers!! Job well done!👏🏻
Well, I wasn't expecting the hurricane. That's for sure!
The pool takes up the whole yard. Family must be professional swimmers. Very beautiful, I enjoyed watching.
that underwater tunnel thing makes me scared like imagine being stuck in there
If it helps, she was swimming in the open area around the hot tub so you could go up for air at any moment if needed
v Thanks for the very clear explanations!
With over 21 million viewers, plus yours truly...you made the real bucks, like royalties!
I'm just amazed they dug it all out with a skid steer 😂
I showed this video to my parents and they asked if I want a pool in our yard.. I said yes and the next day I saw my Dad inflating a plastic pool and asked me to fill it with water 😂
Sad life😂😂
Pool complete. Dad, I’ve decided to quit competition swimming.
HaHaHaHaHa!
Amazing build and thanks for the bonus footage as it's always nice to see the finished result and in your case amazing to see it actually use for what it was intended 👏
Amazing Work… Even after the Storm, they still got their desire!! Great Video🎸
That little bobcat driver deserves a raise. He sure can make that thing sing. Getting thru that little space was amazing. Wonder if he counted how many loads if was!
As a competitive swimmer I am very jealous 😂 imagine being able to practice in your backyard. 🤩 I love it guys good job!! 👍
I was impressed at how good the soil was even at the deepest levels.
My algorithm must be wondering why I'm watching this over the channels I've been subscribed to for over a decade.
Imagine the pressure on the guy cause he had to pass between those walls without damaging them, kudos to him
And how often he had to pass this way...
Funny how we all got this recommended on the same day
Absolutely amazing job. Beautiful pool. And the description giving details of construction materials, labor, cost is very helpful.
That is a monster. With sanitizer process fluctuating, and regular maintenance this could easily crush a families budget. I won’t even go into the cost to update the “pumps” and “filter” systems when they age after a short decade. I built in grounds for a decade and I’ll never own one. To each their own.
Were they trying to host the next olympic swimming event? That is huge.
Imagine the pressure the kids feel😂 If my dad built this in my backyard I would feel obligated to go to the Olympics.
What a brilliant brilliant video. I really enjoyed the transformation.
Thanks for sharing 👍
This house owner must really love swimming pool.
Probably a high level professional swimmer, pool was probably funded with sponsor money
This video just called me poor
Must be awesome to have that in your own backyard. I'm a former swimmer so I know the feeling. And the butterfly is still my favorite stroke to do!
Why are these videos so satisfying to watch?😂
Wow! thanks for sharing all the details. Amazing pool!
Lmao his whole backyard now consists of literally one big ass pool 😂
So? If that is what they want. They might see a bunch of grass as useless space.
Unless you are Michael Phelps, thats too much
@@saurabhnaik9984 in germany this wouldnt even be allowed. so you don't even get tempted
but they won Olympic gold in 2021 anyway.. So, its worth it
@@mimonbarakagamingvevohd1317 Same in Poland most cases you can only use around ish 4/10 space, rest need to be green part, even road to garage/house counts in those 0.4 of the whole size (Some get less like 0.2)
That pool is perfect. Lap pools are never too deep.
Massive! This is closer to a commercial project than a residential, IMO. Great work. You could float your yacht in this, LOL.
I live on a relatively large boat but it would fit in there
You've got some fast moving people working for you!
