I gotta be honest, ive seen a few videos of river pools pools, and they just dont look like well made shells, viking pools however? They make a damn good fiberglass shell, their stuff will last longer then a gunite pool
Complete hack job. River Pools didn't do a proper land assessment up front and it cost the homeowners thousands in un-necessary repairs. Anyone can dig a hole in the middle of a yard, but what's the point of using a transit if your not going to use it right? There's a lot more to setting a pool than just making it level. Obviously, the land around the pool has to be factored in, and it wasn't. I'm glad I watched both parts of this video. I know to never use River Pools to do an install.
My wife and I are looking into getting this same pool. I have contacted River Pools through their site and email. They checking to see if there are any River Pool dealers in my area. If not, I’ll have to go with a Pool from Latham. Does the tanning ledge make the pool seem smaller? Our daughter is having her first child sometime in August or early September (our first grandchild) and we can hardly wait to play with him maybe next summer on the tanning ledge. I just don’t want the tanning ledge to ruin the other friends and family members that want to play in the pool. Does there seem to be plenty of room in the deeper area of the pool for maybe 4 adults? Also, I may have the same problem that you have. Our yard has absolutely no run off. Water will just settle in 3 large areas of the yard. I’m going to ask them if they can build up the area where the pool will be.
I was not for the tanning ledge at first. But as with most things, my wife was right. There’s plenty of room still, and our 3 year old grandson loves it. It also tends to be the place people sit and soak when we have a pool party.
Also, I wouldn’t leave drainage up to the pool people. It’s not their speciality. We hired a second company to survey the contours, and design the ideal solution.
Hi Kevin, I would like to know in which regions you live and if you had problems with your fiber pool. I hesitate to put concrete under the shell. I live in Quebec and with the winters we have, freezing and thawing, I'm afraid it will break the pool. Have you had any problems so far?
Hi Kevin, That was so fun for me to watch. I'm getting the same pool in the same color and size. My dig is on Friday in Utah. I can't believe how many people you fit in there. I do have a couple questions. What size is your umbrella? Does volleyball work out OK with the depth of the pool? Do you just have the taller people in the deeper end? I'm glad you were able to figure out your drainage issue, and your landscaping turned out very nice. I have a slight (about 1 foot) elevation change from the house to the back fence, draining away from the house. The project manager said that we will use up a lot of the soil from the hole leveling out the lot. So many things to think about. Which auto vacuum did you decide on and how is it working? Does it clean the walls, stairs and tanning ledge or not?
Our umbrella is 10 feet wide. we do play volleyball, with the tall people in the deep end. We have the Dolphin robotic cleaner. It does a good job on the bottom, stairs, and walls. The tanning ledge is a little too shallow for it though. We used solar for all the garden lighting, as well as the pool shed.
That is such a cheap looking pool I would rather not have a pool than that junk these people must be cheap such a big yard but yet a pool so plane Jane
Must just be a difference in taste. I find it beautiful in it's simplicity. It also seems that different parts of the country have different design esthetics. I personally don't like the more gaudy pools.
some people are really lucky, the garden of the house is big enough to play a football game :) on the other hand, we live in prison in stone buildings.
Hello, I have pool similar to yours but I'm planning to pour concrete around because now is just dirt and grass but I wonder if I need to put coping first and then the rest of the concrete. I notice that your concrete is one piece how it works for you? Definitely the kids have fun with the mud hehehe Thank you in advance.
@@pkhulk phew $130K man pools are expensive, I live in Jackson TN, we’re getting an 18x40 rectangle pool with a pool deck put in by a company in Memphis, to save money, we bought a kit, that included all necessary components, luckily we don’t need a pool shed or landscaping done, but with the pool and labor it’ll only be about $40K other places we’ve had estimates done they were talking $60K $80K and even $100K we searched and searched for ways to make it cheaper and finally found one, we’re getting ours soon!
@@tropicalsbigdaddyr53577 DIY can definitely bring down the price. But we were worried that if we encountered any problems (bedrock, sand, etc.) the cost could balloon really fast. I hope everything works out with your project. Good luck!
@@pkhulk we actually got our kit very fast, we expected a little bit of a wait, but nope, it was delivered about 4 days ago, and we have the hole dug and the kit installed, we’re just waiting on plumbing, electrical, and concrete atm, that way we can get started on everything else
