- My son helped me dig the area for this pool!
There are times when I cannot bring my son to the beach. Still, he needs more exercise and he loves swimming. I got quotes for in-ground pools but they wanted too much money. I decided to build a semi in-ground pool. I ordered the pool kit online and spent all of my spare time working on this project over a three month period. Finished just in time for winter!
The project was well worth it. Having autism, my son does not have a lot of extra-curricular activities. Most of the time he is indoors playing videos on his tablet. Pools have always been something that can take him away from that.
We have used the pool a few times and we love it. It has gotten cold now but we may have some warm days between now and spring. Either way the pool is done and ready for next summer!
This is an oval, semi above ground pool from the pool factory. This pool had to be made level on sloping sand.

My future "dream" project. I would of put the pool a little lower though. Also Thumbs up for being a awesome father.
Thanks. As I add mulch, it will get lower ;-).
This is the example of what a Farther is!. I was blessed to have had one!. But few get the chance to experience the devotion this mans love is for his family!. Not only did this stranger came in our lives because we all want “our dream pool” And was great But I believe He And his family are a inspiration to all fathers and mothers as to be a little kinder loving and patience not only to our families but to all thanks and I’m building one just like it !. I pray!. How long did it take? I put a 24 54 by my self so ground is level but concerned about dropping it?. Live in Ga. so we have hard clay?
Thank you! It took about a month and a half to 2 months as I recall. Most of that was digging and leveling a little bit after work each day. I was lucky I was digging in sand and not hard clay. But hard clay is very stable. There is a guy on RUclips that talks about doing this in Ga clay and I think he says it works well for this. Just hard to dig out without equipment.
Wow! This turned out great. I was wondering how much all this cost and how fun are these small pools for an adult?
Thanks! With everything I spent no more than $5000.00. For us it is awesome. We live where the summer is extremely hot and I use it almost every day. Small pools like this are sometimes referred to as a "plunge pool". Not necessarily for rip-roaring fun or doing laps, more for relief from the extreme heat. Allows me to spend more time outside in summer. A place to float and have drinks outside. I can work on projects outside and easily cool down during breaks.
Have you fixed the leak? Air sucked in to the pump can damage the pump
Hi again and thanks for the information! I also would like to know what size of pool this is and how hard is it to maintain it. I would appreciate your reply since I am planning on putting one of these aboveground pools in my yard. Thank you!
Hi Daisy. This is the 12'x17'x54" Quest Oval Pool. I got it from The Pool Factory. All pools require some attention every week but it's worth it for me. I check the water quality every other day. Add chemicals a few times a week. I clean it weekly.
Mark Ferdinand Thank you so much! I appreciate the information.
Hi, where did you by the pool
Hi. At poolfactory.com
@@MarkFerdinandAuthor ok, are they affordable?
Yes very affordable if you install it yourself. I paid $2,500 for mine. A quote to have an in-ground pool of similar size dug and built was way over $30,0000.
@@MarkFerdinandAuthor yea that's something reasonable I can work with. Your pool looks really nice. Did you get one that said specifically for semi inground?
They sell it saying that it can be buried up to half way up the wall.
