Originally I planned to hard plumb but decided to use flexi pipes connecting the pool filter box to the pool for two reasons, 1) The risk of fatigue cracks with the pool movement. 2) Ease of packing away in the winter.
Any loss of flow was mitigated by the generously sized 1hp pump
Look forward to seeing your build progress.
Hi Barlidge, I like your set up I need to find out the availability of the quality flex hose I also like the Idea of fixing the ball value close to the liner.
Almost nearing completion with carpentry, frame work and painting work.... Eletrical and plumbing work needs to be started.
Cutting and smoothing of the wood that goes in to the side wall and upper deck completed.
My cousin is multi-talented Electrician, AC Mechanic, Driver, Welder and anything else you may wish him too. Now trying carpentry.
Painting natural varnish to one side of all the pieces and the other side is painted in multi-color.
Unfinished preview of removable wall shutters. I wanted to be different so I painted with colors but still natural wins I guess.

That is a LOT of work! Nice to have family and friends to help out!
I like the natural better. I like the look of wood.

Very nice! My Intex pool survived a bear getting in and out, but cats have sharper claws, so the enclose might be a good idea.
Hi PAGirl, What a thrilling experience that would have been, did you witness that personally? I asumed that intex liner will survive cats and dogs and no question of bear, but I was worried about the rats cutting the liner. Is that a bear like surprise to you??

Hi Kim, I too like the wood finish, painting cost me more for nothing, just a trial and error, considering the amount of mistakes I have made with this project and all the other projects I have done it is not a big mistake. But every time I improve and thats me. I learn things by doing bit costly but worth it in my opinion.
Hubby has just gone to pick up my 38mm spa (flex) hose for the pool.... I'm still waiting on Hayward elbow adapters... I split a few of the intex hoses last year, they're pretty cheap and nasty as far as hoses go...

Haven't seen any new signs of him being around, maybe he is hibernating, it got cold here early.

keep us posted - I would love to see this thread with the pics of the pool - loving your decking so far
Finally the vessel arrived Chennai port last week and will be delivered in couple of days. The paper work is still in the process, the customs have asked for some explanation letter for importing. Will reach home soon. Meanwhile the shutters and the deck got ready for assembling.
It is a beautiful tile - looks like a wave. Love the wood panels too - really colourful - I bet you are getting excited now.
Did we ever get an update? Been watching this take place. can't wait to see it completed.:
:
:I sincerely apologise everone watching this tread that I have not updated for a long time.
I am really fed up with the customs as my product arrived, one month back but they yet release it. Initially they said that I have to put the product in some chapter in order to pay the duty and later the other officer changed the chapter, we did all the paper work and then these two officer had misunderstanding and with held my swimming pool, then came the demand to inspect the pool and they tore apart all the boxed items to find it is legal to import. Then Chinese manufactured product purchased from US seemed to be a problem and lot more... Hoping to get the pool anytime soon.
Mean while I have progressed with the deck building.`
Removable shutters are being installed
Enclosure completed
Deck top being installed
Top Angle of the Pool deck
Ladder Pic attached

Hopefully not too much longer..I have been keeping up with your build. I know it will turn out wonderful!
Oh man... I'd be so angry with customs. I hope you get it soon and that they didn't lose anything!!!
I cringed at the words "tore open everything". I hope it all arrives in one piece and good to go!
