I have watched hundreds of videos on above ground pools. Yours is the most honest & informative I have seen thus far! Excellent job and thank you for being real and making me believe I can do it too! God bless you and your family! Have fun and make MANY memories!❤❤❤
RUclips recommended this video because I was looking a pool a while ago. I clicked on it because it looked like that big one Costco sells, and I wanted to see the scale of it. As I started watching, the area around your house felt familiar. I clicked forward to the sand delivery and I said hold up, that is my old neighborhood and we lived in that corner house past the green one! Small world!
Great job.. I'm only halfway through but this is the best, most comprehensive video on putting up a pool I've watched and it feels like ive watched a lot. You're a good husband and dad. Nice work.
I use to install ungrounded an above ground pools for over 12yrs. Back in the late 1980s thru 1990s . From top to bottom an you have done a great 👍 job and a very safe job. For your family . I found your video enjoyingandn relaxing to watch . Only other thing I would suggest is a lock for your pool ladder 🪜. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video. We had the round version of this pool that was once manufactured by Doughboy. We didn't level the ground because we were clueless, and the pool failed after 10 years. I hope you and your family enjoy your pool many years.
Just now installing my pool that's very similar to yours only 2/3 of the size and I have to say I love your boring channel! ✌️😂 I love the meticulous nature in which you put things together! Thank you for your service to humanity by putting this video together! Much appreciated! 🌻Michelle from California
This is exactly the type of video I have been searching for as we are preparing to install a pool! Thank you for the wonderful step by steps and detailed instructions!!!
learning from your mistakes is the way to go! I am getting ready to build my own above ground pool this summer. I learned a lot from this video. thanks!
This reminds me when I was 14 and my aunt got her big asss aboveground pool and never invited me over to swim lol now I am 37 and finally got my own big ass pool
Good job on the install. We did a smaller 9x18 version. You are correct in the ground prep. When they say level ground, they mean 100% level. The pool will not hold up if its on uneven ground. I see you put plywood under the side supports, mine the plywood just sank into the ground from the weight put on those supports. The second year i laid a perimeter of 2x6 for the rails to sit on and that supported them much better. We live in WI so the pool had to come down every year. Each year after, it took about two hours to put back up, super fast. Pool lasted 8 years, best $800 I ever spent. Two things people really should be aware of. If the pool breaks you are going to dump 18,000 gallons of chlorinated water. If the pool is close enough to buildings, that much water can take out a foundation wall. All vegetation will die and your neighbors can file a homeowners claim against you. On the 8th year our insurance company did a drive by of our home "who knew they did that" saw the pool and we received a notice that they would not cover any damage caused by the pool. Kids were out growing it though and we gave it it to friends who lived in out in the country and it lasted them another 4 years. Good memories.
Bro, you earned my subscribe. I mean, it isnt much these days, but its my way to tell you that you did a great job. Very neatly and precisely done, and I totally disagree with your words that you didnt have an idea of what are you doing; your work was thoroughgoing indeed. I am about half way of rough soil preparation for my Intex circular pool, and I have a solid construction foreknowledge, but good sugestiong are always desirable. So, I can only say thanks - to you and the rest of altruistic and capable folks on YT for your tips. Once again, good work.. enjoy in the results!!!!
Nice job there, like how you paid attention to detail and adapted to change along the way. Treating the cut edges of lumber, changing up from rock retainer, trying different sweeps...etc. Have one question though, maybe I missed it in video, ok if I put my pump/ filter on furthest side of pool from house? Or does it matter? Thankyou again
Thank you so much for the positive words. You’ll have a a longer run for electricity. That’s about it. I plan on making a new video soon showing how I’m going to get it ready for summer (I have no idea what I’m doing). I made several mistakes covering it for the winter so it will be good for people to learn from my mistakes. Thanks again!
I would be sure to use the deepest setting on the sod cutter. I would give more detail to the sand box … make sure it was SUPER sturdy. I would install a solar cover reel from the beginning (essential for me on such a big pool). And once the cyanuric acid levels reached about 25 to 30, I would stop using the chlorine pucks and start using liquid chlorine.
Looks really nice. When you close it for the season and cover it. Shock it first put tarp on and wrap the edges with plastic wrap to keep the corners closed tight. If done correctly you will open pool with minimal water loss and clean clear water after long winter
Great advice. I did a terrible job covering the pool. It was my first attempt ever and the top didn’t fit correctly and I could not figure out a way to secure it well. So it’s going to be some work to get it going
I started digging last week to level it up, and I am still digging and digging and digging and digging.............................I needed to hire someone for sure but I think I am halfway down already. It is a big time consuming and labor needed job.
Thanks for the video, very informative. We r currently looking at a 32x16 intex, we've had a 18ft round intex for 3yrs and certainly learned alot and the grandkids love swimming. If there is a few things, im curious why u didn't put a ground cover below ur pad? Will u b adding a salt water system? I ask as they r both things we r considering b4 getting the new pool. Thanks again
Intex liners are very thin rips easily Could damage your property if the liner rips 30 mill of thickness is a sturdy liner Splash and Legacy portable pools Use 30 mills of thickness with their pool liners
Hi. I've bestway 9.56x4.88 size pool and I think I 'll buy a robot to clean the bottom and the walls.what kinda thing can u suggest? Dolphin S200 or Dolphin pool up ? Any other tip to clean that size big pool without using anything?
Hello! Found your video great. I'll be putting in a pool in a few weeks and starting to prep my lawn now. I'm curious about the sand box wall and wanted to just confirm, you used 2x6 for the side walls, and the 2x4s were just used as the support stakes in the middles/ends?
Great video even a year later and will probably be great and informative for many years to come for people looking to do this. I bought a 30 footer and I am hyped about getting it started this week and your video was a great look at what to expect, thanks.
We have a 24x12x52 bestway pool the sides are really bowed in. Im worried it wont straighten out. Not sure if i can send a picture. I wish i can send a pict
@@myboringchannel Yes it straightened out. Looking to upgrade the pump to maybe a sand filter pump. Any recommendations? seems the pump is hardly working.
I searched RUclips longer than I care to admit to find a video of people playing in this size pool. At the 30:00 mark, this video has it! Thanks for a great video. Costco has a Bestway 16 x 31'4" for $1100. Do you have an opinion on that pool's quality?
I'm glad my video had what you were looking for. I don't think the Costco pool is going to be anywhere near the quality of the pool that I have. I spent at least five times as much on this pool, so either I got ripped off or it's better quality.
Nice video, and not meaning to be critical but I was wondering why you positioned the pool with the ladder all the way in the back and the filter workings facing the house.
I can add one to the video when I get home if you want to wait. But honestly if you click on any of my links and then shop for it on Amazon, I will still get credit. I’m at work right now so I can’t exactly remember the name brand or I’d give you the link right now.
I’m using your video to do my pool set up for a 12’ x 24’ x 52’. Using your measurement method of an additional 2’ on each side. I posted my sod for free if one has a cutter ( less cost for my poor self ). Got a lot of hits but only a few with a cutter. I put in my order for the mason sand but I wanted to know what breathable tarp did you get?
I’ve seen some great videos on such projects but I think I’m happy with what I have. I do plan on building a deck nearby though so we can jump off that!
Do the legs line up with the blocks before the water is filled? We did all our measurements right and haven't put water in but its not centered and lining up
You're gonna have to "eyeball" it - the base of the legs will move outward while filing, so they should start at the near end if your block/pad. Or you call pull the base of the legs tight on both sides and place the blocks based on where they end up.
Linseed oil does a great job of sealing wood ,THE WOOD SEALER U COULD USES, first coat sinks right in ,2 coat goes on just like butter go to go , 3 coat if u want
great video! and you're very entertaining and naturally funny! That was a lot of work but looks well worth it. I hope to do something similar this summer! Great job!
Great video lots and lots of useful information. One of the best video's out there. What size was your pool? I think you said 18x30 but I can;t seem to find anything that size out there. 16x32 is the biggest by intex. How does your pump do and the final robot worth the money or just manual vaccuum? Also love the underlayment you chose, I see a ton of people using blueboard but I worry about rot with stuff not breathable etc.
Here is a link to the pool. www.splasharoundpools.com/soft-sided-pools/summer-breeze/ The pool size is 18x30. The pump is great. Our water is always clear (except that I forgot to put chlorine in the pool for a while and we got some algae - made a vid on that too). I love the robot, because it picks up the big chunks like leaves and such. But it doesn't do a super great job on fine particles. Thanks for the positive comment!
I like the robot cleaner. It is not an all in one solution however, which I was hoping it would be. It cannot pick up tiny particles. So when it is done with a cycle, and everything settles back to the bottom, there are little piles of sediment. It's not much, but if you want it perfectly sparkling clear, you will have to manually vacuum it out.
Not sure where you live but we don’t take ours down here in Georgia. I had my last Intex for ten years and never took it down. Lasted trough a hurricane and several storms. My neighbors don’t take theirs down either. Just winterize and cover.
Hey, I enjoyed your video. I clicked on the pool pump link, but it doesn't look like it comes with the extra fine fillers. Why did you choose this link for this pool pump, to make money?
used railroad ties for low-level retaining walls are cheaper, and they virtually last forever ... drill holes at each end and drive concrete form stakes, or rebar through the holes to secure them down in place, and cut rebar nails to fasten them together with a chop saw ... best retaining wall for landscaping, as they can be buried, or left exposed. wrinkles DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE DAMAGE SMALL WRINKLES IN THE BOTTOM CAN DO TO YOUR LINER Wrinkles should be removed by kicking the walls outwards as it's filling ... IMPORTANT ... if you wait until there's two inches of water in the bottom ... it's too late, and even small wrinkles create big problems ... if this pool lasts two seasons, I'll be surprised ... good news is, the hard work is done
Well, I guess we will have to see. My neighbor’s pool has tons of wrinkles and it’s been there for seven years. Maybe he’s just lucky. Anyway, thank you for the ideas about the railroad ties. That sounds like a nice plan.
The Intex zx300 is WAY better than the electric ones and it runs off the pressure side, so no suction priming. It's less than 100$ and is wall climing and self naviagting but 100% mechanical. When you get tired of charging your vaccum, check it out.
1973 me and my brother Napa California we got a great big doughboy with a deep end and a slide lol 😂and we were the wrinkle crew! lol will never forget that it does pay off! Wrinkle free or relatively is the way to go!
Hi I have a 18x9x4 best way Oval pool. Placed on a concrete level slab . But I have two boys and noticed when they play hard the sides of the pool move slightly back and forth. Is that normal movement for an above ground pool? And there is some creaking sound on the right side when the pool rocks
The walls will move a bit if people are banging around on them. Mine move around a little bit. And the frame might creak a little bit. That is normal, but I would still check the frame for any signs of wear or damage.
Yes it is. We looked at solar heaters, heat pumps and propane heaters. Propane heaters weren’t terribly expensive, but the propane would be very costly over time. Solar heaters require a LOT of space for the solar panels. A roof is best, but make sure your homeowner’s association doesn’t mind. You can put solar panels on the ground as well, but you would have to build a frame for them. A heat pump is the best option in my opinion, but the upfront cost is high. A heat pump also does not work very well when it’s cold. So a heat pump can extend the swimming season by a few months but might not be the best option during cold months.
That is probably the best thing to do. The fastest way to fill the swimming pool with the water is to either use the water delivery service or the city fire hydrant.
How many days it took to fill that pool up? I have the same size pool and scared it will get nasty because of how long it will take with 5 gallons per minute well water
@@myboringchannel I worry it will get nasty from taking so long to fill. (Standing still water) I just found a great deal on pool water delivery and will be using some of your techniques. Thank you for this video.
You do good work, but everything the hard way. Try foling the solar cover in half 3 times. boom, done in 5 mintes. But the reel for this pool is under 100. SO, that's the best option.
I have watched hundreds of videos on above ground pools. Yours is the most honest & informative I have seen thus far! Excellent job and thank you for being real and making me believe I can do it too! God bless you and your family! Have fun and make MANY memories!❤❤❤

Hello great video. What type of pool, what size?
it's a Splash-A-Round pool and it's a 32x18 (if I remember right).

I’m sorry but I don’t understand the question. I did put a pad underneath the pool. What do you mean by a “ground cover?”
Intex liners are very thin rips easily
Could damage your property if the liner rips 30 mill of thickness is a sturdy liner
Splash and Legacy portable pools
Use 30 mills of thickness with their pool liners
Wow it is a big pool, smart idea on getting the pool sweeper. My question is how hard it is to keep the water crystal clear…
Nice job Eric!

Hello! Found your video great. I'll be putting in a pool in a few weeks and starting to prep my lawn now. I'm curious about the sand box wall and wanted to just confirm, you used 2x6 for the side walls, and the 2x4s were just used as the support stakes in the middles/ends?
Yes, but if I did it again, I’d use smaller stakes!
@@myboringchannel Smaller in as like thinner board for a stake or just shorter so you're not cutting off as much?
Thinner. If your ground is hard like mine, it is super hard to pound these into the ground. There’s just too much wood.
@@myboringchannel Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'm upper mid-west so I'm in just clay ground.
Great Video, I was wondering what was the depth of sand that you were aiming for after leveling and stamping it. Thanks!
Can't remember ... think about 3"
I love it, if you doing something, do it correctly 🥰
Hi I just saw this video I love the pool.Can you tell me where I can buy one.. please .xox
Bought mine from a local pool dealer. It's called a Splasharound pool.

@@myboringchannel Yes it straightened out. Looking to upgrade the pump to maybe a sand filter pump. Any recommendations? seems the pump is hardly working.
on the top rail, did you ever have issues with your holes in the liner lining up with the rail itself? one end seems to fit and the other end is off?
A bit, yes. But the holes were close enough I could just make it work.
@@myboringchannel thanks for the reply. finally had to get the entire family out to help with some adjustments... lol
I have a question not related with the pool, but related with your trampoline. What do you to protect plastic parts from the sun and heat?
Nothing. I just let it sit out there. And it's lasted for a while. But the spring protector material has started to shred so I jusd bought a new one.
I searched RUclips longer than I care to admit to find a video of people playing in this size pool. At the 30:00 mark, this video has it! Thanks for a great video. Costco has a Bestway 16 x 31'4" for $1100. Do you have an opinion on that pool's quality?

Do you need ply under the supports and does it have to be dead level, considering the middle part is level?
Well, I put ply under the supports. And I tried to make it level. And it's working great.
Where did u get the pool from and how long is it
Local dealer. It's 32 x 18
Hey, I’m NotToTrus and today I just watched this man’s grass die over the course of 30 minutes!
Do you need to rototill or is sod cutter enough
Side cutter is enough. Just make sure you cut deep enough
I would make a cement path or stepping stones to the pool. I couldn't deal with all the grass going into the pool
Yes, I should do more. It's so annoying
How well is shown the construction technique of this above ground pool with all the execution phases!
Thank you!

Wow big pool, what is it called?
Splash-a-Round Pools ... Summer Breeze
Great video lots and lots of useful information. One of the best video's out there. What size was your pool? I think you said 18x30 but I can;t seem to find anything that size out there. 16x32 is the biggest by intex. How does your pump do and the final robot worth the money or just manual vaccuum? Also love the underlayment you chose, I see a ton of people using blueboard but I worry about rot with stuff not breathable etc.
Here is a link to the pool.

The pool size is 18x30. The pump is great. Our water is always clear (except that I forgot to put chlorine in the pool for a while and we got some algae - made a vid on that too). I love the robot, because it picks up the big chunks like leaves and such. But it doesn't do a super great job on fine particles. Thanks for the positive comment!
@@myboringchannel What are your thoughts on the robot cleaner after a year? I am looking for a good cleaner to get for my AGP now.
I like the robot cleaner. It is not an all in one solution however, which I was hoping it would be. It cannot pick up tiny particles. So when it is done with a cycle, and everything settles back to the bottom, there are little piles of sediment. It's not much, but if you want it perfectly sparkling clear, you will have to manually vacuum it out.
Where did you get the pool from
local pool dealer.
Thank you for this video! Do you winterize your pool, or do you take it down for the winter and store it?
Winterize
Wow that’s a massive pool 🏊♂️
You need a deck on one or two sides. Enjoy 😉
What brand is the pool
Splash-a-Round
Splash and Legacy both use 30 mills of thickness with their liners very sturdy
We've had ours up for 18 year
Full deck built around it
Hi do you take down during winter?
Yes, I’ll make a video.
Not sure where you live but we don’t take ours down here in Georgia. I had my last Intex for ten years and never took it down. Lasted trough a hurricane and several storms. My neighbors don’t take theirs down either. Just winterize and cover.
Does this type of pool require a pool permit?
Uh, I don’t think so …
Thanks for the detailed video very helpful 👍🏼! The pool looks great 😀
It usually does not require permits in most areas in the USA. I needed a permit in Memphis TN. Also, you might need to check with your HOA.
this is nice bro, may i ask wat size pool it is?
30x18
What's the size of this pool? It looks awesome
30 x 18
Hey, I enjoyed your video. I clicked on the pool pump link, but it doesn't look like it comes with the extra fine fillers. Why did you choose this link for this pool pump, to make money?
Yes. But you can buy anything and I'll still get credit because you used my link to get there.

Think it was around 8K with EVERYTHING all total including the build.
used railroad ties for low-level retaining walls are cheaper, and they virtually last forever ... drill holes at each end and drive concrete form stakes, or rebar through the holes to secure them down in place, and cut rebar nails to fasten them together with a chop saw ... best retaining wall for landscaping, as they can be buried, or left exposed.
wrinkles DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE DAMAGE SMALL WRINKLES IN THE BOTTOM CAN DO TO YOUR LINER Wrinkles should be removed by kicking the walls outwards as it's filling ... IMPORTANT ... if you wait until there's two inches of water in the bottom ... it's too late, and even small wrinkles create big problems ... if this pool lasts two seasons, I'll be surprised ... good news is, the hard work is done
Well, I guess we will have to see. My neighbor’s pool has tons of wrinkles and it’s been there for seven years. Maybe he’s just lucky.
Anyway, thank you for the ideas about the railroad ties. That sounds like a nice plan.
It's almost through its second season and doing GREAT.
The Intex zx300 is WAY better than the electric ones and it runs off the pressure side, so no suction priming. It's less than 100$ and is wall climing and self naviagting but 100% mechanical. When you get tired of charging your vaccum, check it out.
1973 me and my brother Napa California we got a great big doughboy with a deep end and a slide lol 😂and we were the wrinkle crew! lol will never forget that it does pay off! Wrinkle free or relatively is the way to go!
Hi I have a 18x9x4 best way Oval pool. Placed on a concrete level slab . But I have two boys and noticed when they play hard the sides of the pool move slightly back and forth. Is that normal movement for an above ground pool? And there is some creaking sound on the right side when the pool rocks
The walls will move a bit if people are banging around on them. Mine move around a little bit. And the frame might creak a little bit. That is normal, but I would still check the frame for any signs of wear or damage.
what size is the pool?
30x18
@@myboringchannel 52"?
Did you have any issues with the sand shifting under the liner when people were walking?
Not once there’s water in it. Too much weight.
Is it possible to add a water heater to it?
Yes it is. We looked at solar heaters, heat pumps and propane heaters. Propane heaters weren’t terribly expensive, but the propane would be very costly over time. Solar heaters require a LOT of space for the solar panels. A roof is best, but make sure your homeowner’s association doesn’t mind. You can put solar panels on the ground as well, but you would have to build a frame for them. A heat pump is the best option in my opinion, but the upfront cost is high. A heat pump also does not work very well when it’s cold. So a heat pump can extend the swimming season by a few months but might not be the best option during cold months.
thise video is great Excellent video may i know where did yo buy 😊

hi, is the measurement on the box for the pool or the base? If the pool, how much more extra room do you need for each side for the legs? Thanks
Well, it's been a while. But the measurement on the box is for the pool. I made the entire base about 2 feet wider, if I remember correctly.
How many minutes does this swimming pool take to fill.
Hours upon hours upon hours
There are the bacteria somewhere in the swimming pool water also called germs.
I use chlorine.
That is probably the best thing to do. The fastest way to fill the swimming pool with the water is to either use the water delivery service or the city fire hydrant.
It is very big and very good
How many days it took to fill that pool up? I have the same size pool and scared it will get nasty because of how long it will take with 5 gallons per minute well water
It doesn't take that long. Why are you worried that it will get nasty?
@@myboringchannel I worry it will get nasty from taking so long to fill. (Standing still water) I just found a great deal on pool water delivery and will be using some of your techniques. Thank you for this video.
No, it won't. It takes longer than a day or two. I use the hose to fill mine up.
You do good work, but everything the hard way. Try foling the solar cover in half 3 times. boom, done in 5 mintes. But the reel for this pool is under 100. SO, that's the best option.
I have a reel now!! Made a video on it. Check it out.
