    Of course a liner would go over the walls. That's a lot better then 100k I've been hearing a new tiny shallow pool cost these days id probably have 25k total in it.

    I was quoted 15k to build the concrete walls. Filll every cell footer rebar horizontal and vertical. I would probably go that direction as it should last a lifetime over flimsy panels.

    Florida Block-Pool Build

    I wouldn't even attempt to dig the pool out any bigger. And to be honest after talking to a Brick Mason. I'm not sure I would go this route anymore. Filling every cell for 600 blocks is something like 6 yards of concrete, were at $300 a yard for concrete here. The footer is 3 more yards, Rebar...

One part by the deep end you can see is like 1 inch inward for an eight foot section then the rest of the pool. You can visually see the liner come out along with the coping about half...
