MODERNIZING our Intex above ground pool
HTML-код

- we purchased a Intex above ground pool over the shut down and decided if we were going to keep it we wanted it to look a little bit nicer and a little bite more modern, so we gave it a makeover

Absolutely love this so much, it's a great way of hiding the pool which isn't very attractive and this also makes it easy to replace the pool with a new one if needed. Brilliant job 💜💜💜
I would consider connecting the 4 sides with carriage bolts and nuts so when you have to replace the pool it's easy to reassemble.
Absolutely Beautiful!🤩 Very classy warm feel using that style.
Beautiful. Modern. 1/10th of what we were about to spend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Done with a class economically and labor wise. Nothing bits the organic look of stained wood. Inspiration to viewers.
Man that really looks great! Nice work!
Thanks!
What a great idea and great job!
Looks like a 20k endless pool ❤
That’s awesome! I just put up the 24 x12 and I love the pool but hate the look. This idea dresses it up nicely
It would have been awesome to see a time laps of the build or more video of the actual build…But what we got was pretty detailed. Thank you
I know I wish I had filmed the process unfortunately we had the lumber shortage and there was quite a bit of downtime between finishing it… But I wish I had more of that detail I will on the future projects
@@The_Heights How is this holding up? We are planning the same pool and a possible frame around it as well. Turned out great
@@875daily We’ve had ours just over two years absolutely no issues whatsoever well worth the money in my opinion
@@The_Heightshi we are considering this brand pool. Is everything still holding up well? I was mixed with a few reviews on Lowes with this same pool. The complaint was about the pump but it looks like you replaced with a different one.
@@tangeeaugustin5994 ours is still working great no complaints but yes, you would definitely want to upgrade to a sand pump. A little filtered pumps that it comes with are no good. As long as it has a sand pump you should be all set.
This looks amazing!!!! Looking to get the same pool, but I was extremely torn because I wanted it to not look like the typical above ground logo pool. Love the way you elevated your pool, perfect design!!!!
Thanks !
Looks great ! ❤
Thank you!
I’m obsessed with this.
Just buying the same but 18 by 9...fancy flying to UK for a couple of weeks...that looks good.
Amazing helpful information
Dope bruh fr fr I literally had this in idea searched and found yours. Perfecto lol
This is genius!
Nice!! You also rebuilt and added those buildings in the back 👍🏻👍🏻
Yup new garage/ workshop thanks
This is beautiful! 🔥
This is gorgeous. Wow.
Beautiful 🤩
That looks great- nice job...thanks for sharing for those needing deck ideas...so cool !!!
Oh man, you did an awesome job!
Love it ..solar side lights would be a nice addition
We have since added some 👍🏼
Beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Same pool going to do the same, very helpful thank you mate.
Glad it helped
Truly beautiful and luxurious.
It looks amazing and easy to build. Nice job!
You can also build raised garden beds around the pool and it will look axactly like an in ground pool
@@tylerhughes5420 Awesome!
Beautiful!
Big thumbs up! You did a great job.
Thanks I appreciate it
Very good idea
Looks fantastic and modern, we're putting in a rain tank type of pool it's in one piece 3.5m circle and I'm looking at putting it half inground, find this wall very pleasing to look at.
Nice ! Thanks
@@The_Heightshey did you all do a diy video on how you did this project?
@@christinacraig313 hey unfortunately not… The video is kind of an afterthought because we had some people asking questions .
Wow your pool looks great
Thank you!
I love this!! What an improvement!
Nice! Great job! Cheers! 🤙🏼
I love this! We are purchasing a bigger pool next week and would love to build this on my own without much help from my husband. If you don’t mind answering a few questions for me? First off, did you dig holes for the fence posts? Can you please tell me the color of the stain you used? What are the trim pieces, metal? Where did you purchase those. And lastly, can you please explain how you accomplished the top pieces? That sit flat around the top of the pool. Like how you connected those to be sturdy. Thanks so much! Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks ….It’s early American stain. The black trim is actually wood painted black. The top pieces are mounted directly to the top of the fence posts.👍🏼
Wow it looks great 👍 I love it 🥰
Great design! It looks really nice 💯
Thanks !
This looks amazing!!! And I love the price tag!

Beautiful 👍🏼
What is the finished product dimensions? This is absolutely gorgeous
Looking at doing the same, the frame out today is averaging $2500… insane
Prices are ridiculous
@@The_Heights absolutely
Dude Im getting a quote of 95k for an In ground. Just do it.. lol
@@Dhoyos7 oh i have, its done. I done it a little differently but yea it completed
Omg beautiful!! 😮
It looks amazing!
Looks so good dude
👌
Thanks!
Looks great!
Beautiful job. I'd love to see gradual steps on the far short side of the pool, would look great. (Just incase you want to make a video) 😂
Lol since this video on the far short side near the garage, we added a ground, level deck, and a small staircase
@@The_Heightsawesome! Is there a video on that?
I really wish I knew how to build this and what materials I need
Beautiful
Looks awesome! Nice work
Thanks 👍🏼
Its just amazing 👏
awesome job
Thanks !
Thank you for the extremely helpful video!
Wow! it look absolutely amazing! you know what would been amazing? if you show us how you did it, LOL.
LOL yeah, step-by-step would probably be helpful. I only made this video because I started getting a ton of questions on social media and it was after the fact… Good luck.
again, another great idea... thanks for sharing #KapKen
Thanks 👍🏼
great
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you!!
Your pool looks amazing! Great job!
Awesome, happy for you ❤
Looks good. Sand filters are not an upgrade to filter pumps though, at least performance wise. Much lower microns with pleated filters.
The small paper filters would clog up quickly and were high maintenance for cleaning and changing them out. The sand filter is just a much more maintenance free set up.
@@The_Heights then it was too small of a cartridge (undersized). Properly sized, the carts are soooooo easy, clean, and most importantly effective.
@@govegan0424 yeah I wouldn’t be surprised. It was undersized. It definitely seemed that way. It was the stock filter that comes with these pools, which seemed really cheap.
nice, but what will happen when the pool is broken ?? like a cut or something at the bottem ?

Simpel...
Di indo bangun kolam renang butuh 190 jutaan
would love to know the plans for this case for the pool, i'd like to put it together myself
Really nice shell!
it looks great!!
That’s really nice. How does the pool itself hold up to the elements like snow, extreme heat from the sun etc?
Works great every year or so I sanded everything down and put a fresh coat of stain on it other than that no issues
@@The_HeightsIt looks really nice. I like that idea.
I wonder how difficult it would be to put water jets to make it a endless lap pool?
Great job!
Smart build💡
nice job.
Do you have all the measurements and dimensions? How much wood and how much stain? A list of all the materials would be great!
Unfortunately, I don’t have the exact list or dimensions. I was kind of just building this as I went back when I did it… Sorry about that it’s going to also vary depending on the exact pool you end up with.
Looks very nice.
what is the new width of the pool once you add the wood ?
I love this soooo much!!!
I wonder if it actually counts as a fence around a pool. My HOA requires a fence around a pool.... maybe this would do? Very nice.
That I’m not sure of… Possibly
Doubtful. Fences are required to keep kids out. This is merely a wall offering no protection from entry.
Magnificent
This absolutely fantastic.
But do you help with installation?
Thanks
I love this idea. I live in NY and I would like to know if it will survive the winter.
The structure would do find the pool itself I’m not sure you’d have to ask the actual company how they hold up in cold temperatures… If you drain the pool for winter each year it would probably be fine
@@The_Heights Thank you 🙏🏼
Rock waterfall with slide and grotto coming soon
Looks stunning ,got me inspired to build one for my own.
How did you secure the lumbers on the top edge of the pool?
Main mounting points are the tops of the fence posts I ran two by fours on the inside top edges of the fence posts connecting them to also give mounting surface for the top
This looks great, and I’m considering something like this, since I have the same pool. My question is, since these pools aren’t meant to be permanent, what happens when you need to replace it? It can’t be easy to install one within the frame.
Everything is screwed together, so it’s pretty easy to just take one of the Long sides down to get in and out if you were to replace the pool I am on 3 years and the pool is still just fine no issues.
Do you have kids that play in it? This looks like an awesome upgrade, but i would be concerned about getting in/out. Milled/flat wood is slippery when wet. Do you have some sort of non-skid where you get in/out?
There is a ladder on the inside of the actual pool that you can walk up and get out very easily, and on the backside of the pool now there are two steps to get up and get in the pool, not shown in this video aside from that, the wood has held up very well… It was sanded thoroughly, but in general, which would you do need to be cautious overtime to maintain it
Dude! this is WILD! you killed it! whats a sand pump?
Thanks man… It’s just a specific type of pump that they sell that uses sand to filter the water rather than like a paper filter that you have to change out all the time
Your design is absolutely perfect and I love it. We have a very similar pool style about same dimensions and you gave me my next project to tackle for next summer. How is your winter over there, does it affect your components and liner ?
Thanks! We don’t really have winter here in Florida so it doesn’t affect much at all and the frame is oversize just enough to never touch or interfere with the actual pool or framing
I'd like to get info on how you constructed the wood around pool.
It's beautiful but it's going to cost me more because I'm by myself and I wouldn't know how to set up the original pool let alone do the build
Can you post a link to the black trim metal product you used on the edges of your woodwork? Id love to see how your project is doing now ? Any follow up photos of how its holding up now at over 2yr anniversary of the build?
It’s 1x4 and 1x2 wood lumber painted black 👍🏼
Love this. Great job. How is the wood holding up to the elements?
Thanks ! Other than having to re stain it every year it’s holding up great
Looking beautiful. Could you please share links to materials purchased ? Planning to do one. Also how is wood stacked side by side & how is that wonderful step made ? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I don’t have a materials list I was kind of just winging it during the Covid shut down it’s built like a horizontal fence
@@The_Heights No problem, thanks. Are those wooden posts on the corners and black paint done by you ?
@@SB-tc9lc yes Trimmed out the corners with some smaller detailing/wood and painted them
Really glad i found this,.....you if anyone could answer or have thoughts on this,....do you think its possable to build the wood enclosure to fit the liner inside of,...without use the braces or metal frame,.......what you have here is exactly what ive been brainstorming,...but i want to build the wood enclosure into ,..and under an rv canopy i already have,...useing the already strong cemented in posts,...if anyone has advice or ideas or warnings about this please comment,...thx,......love the way this looks!!
I’m sure you could figure out a way to do it… However the way the frame works at a loss for the pool liner to expand and contract as you get in and out in the water levels rise… Hopefully you’re able to figure it out good luck
This is so awesome
#goals
So exactly what kind of wood was used?
It’s all pressure-treated outdoor lumber as far as the exact dimensions. This was built on the fly so I don’t have a build list but it’s almost all two by tens.
Looks great. I have the same pool & would love to do this but the lumber price is absolutely ridiculous. Wood is one of the most easily renewable building material and has no reason to be the price it is
Do you collapse the pool in the winter, or do you leave it out? I'm considering using your idea, but my wife is concerned that it is not a good idea in Swedish winter temperatures.
We don’t really get a winter here in Florida, but I will drain the pool and just keep it covered… It gives me the opportunity to clean the liner and prep everything when refilling it for the next season. And because of the size of the pool it’s very inexpensive to fill.
Very nice spiders, weeds, and other pest making home could be an issue.
Love the look. My concern is that the inside of that becomes a huge spider nest.
There is definitely a possibility, lol… However, there are gaps between the boards and I frequently spray everything out. I’ve had no issues with anything like that.
great idea
Could you tell me How can build the basics lumbers? 🙏🏽
Everything is 4 x 4 fence posts, and
2 x 10“ x 10‘ lumber
