here's my crasy idea for a pool

[frenchie]

Here's a picture of an above ground which I installed... in-ground !
This is a 12' pool, I bought for $115.00 !! The total cost of this project is about $1500.00. most part of the expenses, comes from concrete floor, end fencing, which I aldo done by myself. See my site for more pics.
Feel free to comment, or give ideas etc...

Regardless of size or cost...............it looks wet, blue and clear!

Looks great! Looks a little small for the effort it looks like it was... just my opinion though. May just be the right size for you and your family.

I wish we'd have had the option to put ours inground a bit too, but hadn't done enough research when we found our used pool to figure out if it would work where we wanted to put it.

Thanks for the comment siziqzer. it looks small, and it is small ! That's what I wanted. I've decided to put it out on the net, so it would gives idea to any one, and allow them to Save lots of money !

I've done the same thing with my pool. I have been contemplating the deck for over 2 years. Is that cement around yours? If so, without sounding absolutley dumb, how did you do it? Is it right up to the pool sides or is there a bit of a gap?
thanks!

Looks like pavers to me. I would of used pavers too as they are easy to take out and do allow room for expansion with the ground. Great idea Frenchie.

Hi everyone, sorry for being away from the site for a while. No it's not concrete. I didn't want to have concrete, in case or my project would collaps, or not lasting long, the job would have been more complicate, to remove, so pavers is a lot simple, and I can re-use them for other project, or sell them !

I have about 10" space between pool walls and pavers.which I filled the top 2-3 inches with washed stones, again a cheap material.

bye now !

My crazy idea being a Canes fan is to basically connect the L shape pool I already have with an L shape in the opposite direction making a U

Pavers are great because if you decide to change any of the landscaping you can easily w/o having a to bust up the concrete... Plus, like you mentioned, if you have any problems w/the pool they are easy to manuever. They look nice too!
