Where did you get them ? I could use a few. :)
I bought these off Ebay from Sandy's Nursery in Florida. Shipping is extremely fast. I just bought 20 more that I'll be planting in the next 2 days.

Update... pool is being dug out today for a spring install. I did not want it here but I don't want to pay for a ton of fill. We're using the excess fill for the garage.

Things are coming along! :thumleft:
Could you please post a pic of where you planted the arborvitaes?
We need to replace some and I was wondering what size you planted.
:wave:
The plants are a few posts up... post #141. I bought them off Ebay from Sandy's Nursery. they ship them extremely quickly. I got the smallest ones at roughly 12-15" plants.
 
I've got a level pool site! So very happy with the work this guy did. 50 years of experience. He made it look so easy! Pool will be going up in May.

How are you toing to protect the dirt from sliding back in when it rains and such?
I'm going to plant around the bank to keep it from eroding. That'll take care of any standing water issues. Once I get my inground, I'll have them haul the dirt back up and fill that crater back in. I'm not done in my head on what exactly I want to do but I'm not messing with it right now. Its been tapered back nicely that it's not so severe. I don't think it'll go anywhere or start sliding. It's got some clay in it so I'm going to study it more as the Fall and winter move in and I get this garage up.
 
Wish I'd of done this sooner but I didnt. I had so much stuff going on. Cant wait to install my pool and 250ft of waste line pipe the neighbor tried to steal. :mrgreen: I do need to wait for the garage to be installed though so I can figure out pump placement. I'll spend all winter looking out my back window brain storming.
 
I'm selling my pool tomorrow evening for $3k. They are getting everything except my telescopic pole. I'm going to keep that for brushing my new pool.

I have to say that selling this pool is making me sad. I dont even want to put it up even though I dont want to sweat this whole summer out. But why waste a good set up when I can sell a complete package to someone who can't find one for a decent price. I hope this family loves it as much as I did.
 
Seriously though, That is one massive headache to install for short term use. Instead you can get a price that’s fair to you AND the buyer and get yourself some more universe points for doing right by them.

There are bumps in any build. Yours won’t be a perfect journey either. But maybe you just shaved a few of those bumps off. Just sayin. :)

I’m sure it’s tough! Setting up a hard wall pool for one season doesn’t really make any sense though.
Any chance you can grab an Intex pool for the season? It doesn’t need to be the perfect install if you’re taking it down in the fall. The water is just as wet ... lol

I'd have to sell my soul for one. They are so expensive. I think I'm just going to take the kid swimming in the river this year. I used to swim in it with the kids. It's free n wet.
