Pool Removal - Look at that SLUDGE. LIMITED ACCESS. Time lapse.

  • Опубликовано: 11 май 2021
  • This week we completely removed a fibreglass pool that hasn't been used in years.
    Access was tight as you can see but everything went to plan.
    Once the shell was cut and removed we sourced clean fill from around Melbourne and compacted it in layers up to 400mm with a heavy compactor and excavator. We finished it off with a 150mm top layer of recycled crushed concrete to give the client a flat, functional area under cover that they can use for years to come.
    Now they can get the pool removed off the councils plans and enjoy their new space.

    All those who don't understand getting rid of a pool it's because you don't have one. My home has had a pool for 40 odd years. My husband and I used it, the kids used it, the grandkids used it. Then use of the pool became the occasional ten days a year. Pools are expensive to maintain not to mention the work to keep them clean. I would dearly love to get rid of my pool.

      Could have achieved all that, AND kept the increased property value, by draining, cleaning, fixing, and leaving empty, but ready to fill n use by next owner…also increased equity for current owner…could also cover or fill with large plastic / styrofoam balls , 3-4 foot diameter, so no one falls in empty pool

      @@rstumbaugh43 absolutely. It's truly insane to fill in a pool considering the value they add to the home. Not much maintenance to keep the pool closed. Not the wisest choice, but perhaps the best for the homeowner. I am flabbergasted about filling in a pool tho.

      Should have just filled in the pool area.Should have left the paving around it, and left the plexiglass in place.Shouldn't have added gravel. Clean it up, hang some lights, put some heaters in it, and you'd have a winter greenhouse. Now you have compacted gravel which will only grow weeds inside a frame. What will they use it for?
