In this episode, we go over how we build our ICF Pools step by step. We also recommend our favorite bracing system to ensure your pool walls don't fall over while pouring.
Not trying to sound like a jerk but what is the point of this for a vinyl liner? Yeah I suppose it’s structurally way better than a steel wall but in actual use what difference does this make? This must cost anywhere from 2-3 times as much and accomplish the same thing.
This is a vinyl liner! What difference does it make! If the pool was finished with a plaster type of material it would be a different story. There are vinyl pools with literal plastic walls! This is like doing the framing of your house with the steel beams they build skyscrapers with!
Cinder blocks don’t have the greatest lateral strength. Not saying it wouldn’t work because I don’t know the specifications but I would definitely consult with an engineer.
@@kd8118same strength when core filled as is being done here. You are paying to fill with concrete either way, makes more sense to have your form be part of that concrete too. Unless you are making some sort of year-round heated pool, the insulation adds nothing to the pool.
No, just the bits you cut of were blown to the side of the slab into the dirt. When it could easily have been put in trash bag. All through the video this waste was visible between the icf and the ground. Don’t take it the wrong way, you have uploaded a video with an active comment section, except people to give their opinions. Great job your work looks awesome and it should be a nice pool. All the best
Ah understood We put all cut offs there and get one guy at the end to bag all of the garbage. Most of the year our crew was a 3 man crew, so bulking tasks help increase productivity
