    Cladding an Intex Pool with timber

    Has anyone actually covered their Intex pool with wood cladding? I was thinking of getting a timber pool but the liners on the Intex pools are much thicker. I have a carpenter that can build a frame round it and clad it so that it is totally weather protected. Would be interested to know if...

    Tiny puddles under the corners of new Intex 18 x 9 Rectangular Pool

    The brand new pool was put up a couple of days ago. Once filled with water, small puddles had appeared under three of the corners. Initially I thought it was from the light rain shower we'd had that morning. I dried them up but they were there again a few hours later. This is happening on three...

    Can you use solar panels and saltwater system?

    A few years ago, I used to have a semi inground Plastica Timber Pool with a 12kw Electro Heater, but changed to a heat pump as it made a huge difference to the heating costs. My plan now is to reduce heating costs even further. So, this time I am having an Intex 18 x 9 rectangular pool above...

    What size concrete base do I need for an Intex Ultra Frame 18' x 9'?

    Does anyone know what size the base should be to take into consideration the frame legs? Also, what depth do you think it would need to be? Thanks
