Hanging a rectangular Intex Ultra Frame Pool directly from the pool deck

[Jonas Åhgren]

Your daughter is precious. You have much to be proud of- beautiful family and amazing building skills. Can I be nosy and ask what type of work you do that you have such building skills and also lived in Hong Kong?

I'm an Engineer and my work is developing software for compliance reporting. Building is an off work pleasure. [emoji4] I like to keep busy.

Still holding. Now i need some kind of green plants, the deck is kind of boring.

Love this build here! I’m about to undergo a Intex install and haven’t decided whether or not I’m going partially in ground with a deck or above ground with a deck.. I’m going to speak to building and safety to see if what they’ll want to see either way and make a decision then.

Thanks for the inspo

Thank you so much for all the effort you and others have put into this thread. You have been an inspiration.

Dear Jonas,

Your experience is very inspiring.
We are planning to do a similar structure, but where the pool is nearly half underground (50cm) - half above (60cm). Would you advice following similar drawings?
Thank you,

Ana

It should work fine with the same drawing (se that you use the latest version of drawings and not my first

I assume the coiled hose is to heat your water. How do you circulate it?

 

[Jonas Åhgren]

I use a solarpanel and a small electric pump from a boat freshwater system. So water only cirulates when sunshine.

Sorry it didn't work out, it was an interesting experiment. I just completed my build with the same pool. I used the standard construction and then built the deck around it. You have the concrete slab and the deck structure. You should be able to reuse most of it with just minor mods. Good luck!

Is your pool still in one piece?

Hello Jonas,
I have been following your intex poll construction to the deck, and I'm on my way to do more or less the same despite I'm going to keep the metal frame. Intex has a XTR Ultra frame that seems to not rust like the standard ultra frame.
I'm leaving in Kokkola, in Finland (same latitude than Umeå but other side of the sea cost), and winter get minus temperature for about 4 month with of course snow and temperature as low as -5 to -25°c most of the winter.

I'm wondering how do you do with your pool in Sweden during winter time, especially with the liner and pump. Are you removing them every automn and store them in positive temp. room or do you leave them in place? what do you do for it to not get damage?

I will be glad to get your comments to let me go forward in my pool project.

Regards,
Damien

Hi, i want to know how do you connect the wooden parts wich you put into the liner insteat of the original Iron bar?

 

[Jonas Åhgren]

So this winter the drain plugs fell out due to ice. So all the water was gone when i visit the cabin after the winter. I took the chance to install some hard walls so the kids can kick and play even harder. Its 12mm boards used when doing cement structures. The water is still cold 10 degrees celisus and its not top filled. But when that is fixed its going to expand to hit the wall 100%. Then the kids kan play even harder in the pool. I also glued the drain plugs. the boards are 2400x600mm

i used some 45X45mm mills wooden bars and some 50x50mm alu square tube overlay where i connect to main frame. I had to glue and fixate to make the longer ones. I see to it that this par of the beam was in the alu cover part. And then M8 corrosion free bolts strait trow the whole sturcture

 

[Jonas Åhgren]

I think you can push this pool to almost strait walls if you have support, next one standing can try

Always excited to see an update from this thread. Glad your pool is still hanging in there!

 

[S.Rolf]

Impressed by your construction. Just curious, is it still running fine ?
If I'd seen this earlier I might had built one myself. Instead I just built my steel frame in a wooden deck. But who knows, maybe in the future.

Thanks for the inspiration.
