Sweet! Drive careful! Just know the pool is currently hovering around the 50 degree mark, so if that ain't too cold for you, jump on it!

Lo siento, no tienes la tierra para poner una piscina. Pero gracias por mirar!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Nothing to it, if you know what your doing and plan ahead. Most important thing is leveling the perimeter of pool base or where the uprights well set and highly recommend using 12x12 stone blocks and also renting a laser to level each block exactly the same. Than level the inside where the pool well set and make sure you use lots of sand and spread it evenly as best as you could. Yes it's lots of work but when it's all done the right way it well be a lot of fun. Be patient and take your time. Peace to all and God Bless.

Thank you!

I'm fine with that. The more friends, the better

And pissed off neighbors

The house and I’ll get back to the house and then I have will be there in a little bit I’ll be there in five minutes I’ll be there I’ll be back there in a little bit I’ll be there I’ll get back in about a half a hour I’ll get back in there I’ll get there I’ll be back in there in about a half a hour and

I’m wondering about the same but isn’t it more stable without the boards so the legs to stuck in the ground ?

@@nv-systems I think better will be with board I will try, last year without that some legs gone underground about 3-5cm

Thanks for watching!

Sometimes you viewers seem to forget to check the RU-vidr's channel for additional videos. I actually have 2 videos there giving a full review. And yes, both videos feature the pool full of water.

@@axelruntschke … my bad, I know … I saw your review right after I watched the first one.

Definitely put down some pavers. The liner is very durable.

Use wood and route or sand all edges till very rounded

Thanks for letting me know!

Angel26506 can you link me to it? I can't find that User.

This is the Intex 18' by 52" round pool. We bought it on Amazon.

@@axelruntschke Thank you for the reply. Couple of favors if you can. (Feel free to ignore if I'm asking too much) Could you post the link you got it from as I cant seem to find it, (and my wife so its not just me being blind) Also bigger favor, can you tell me the size of the box it came in. The reason I ask is I live in Toronto Canada ( I was checking US Amazon site) The only pools sold here are mostly Summer waves and I like the look of the Intex. So the plan is to buy this and have it delivered to an address in the States and then take a road trip with my son one day and pick it up. I have a Jeep compass so just wondering about the size. Lastly, did it come with a sand filter? Ok that's all. If you ever come to Canada I will buy you a beer.

@@tysmith7646 Not the original poster, but here is the one I am looking at, and I think it is the same one: www.amazon.com/Intex-Ultra-Filter-Ladder-Ground/dp/B07F3DP48S/

@@GeoffintheGarage That's perfect!!!! Thank you Geoffrey. I owe you the beer now.

Thanks for watching, Christine! The pool does come with a ground cover. That's the big grey square tarp you see us putting down. The round blue one is something I just had laying around so I used it as well. You'll definitely want to remove all grass, rocks, roots and twigs from the area. I took us 3 weekends to clear and level the area, but our yards is on a pretty good incline. You'll also need to buy some concrete pavers to put under each leg to prevent them from settling over time.

@@axelruntschke Thanks for replying and I'll follow your recommendations :-) wish me luck!

I dont think I did. This was definitely a team effort.

Florida Outlander thanks for the video I just bought one myself but I just cut the grass shaved everything there is some uneven ground but not to a major problem i will fill it up tomorrow . but I can tell you guys did a good job looking forward on your updated🏄🏄🏄🏄😀

Press the button in and slide the t-joint all the way on as far as it will go. That worked for me.

I'm having the same problem, did you finally get yours together?

Tanya Fowler it can be done!!! Try disconnecting 2-3 sides one direction and work your way around. I was able to get mine together by doing this and finalizing in a different location. Also I had a nice heavy rubber mallet and banged the heck out of both sides until there was just about a 1/2 of room to fit them together. Initially I was about 8 inches off so this really helped.

Very durable! No tears or punctures anywhere!

Thanks for watching! I'll be doing a follow-up video this weekend giving a full review!

instaBlaster.

Great question, Kenneth, thanks for asking. I had to raise or lower the blocks so they were all level with one another. Adding dirt under a block to raise it, or removing dirt under it to lower it. Pretty easy.

@@axelruntschke genius

Did you buy the boards already cut into squares are did you cut them?

Florida Outlander hey what size pool is that

Kenneth Burtelson, I pre screwed 4”x7”x3/4” cedar boards on the ends of the foot prior to setting up and they worked perfect. They didn’t hit the pool liner at all when filled. It is extremely important to get the pool perfectly level. I compacted 4” of sand under my Intex 16’ pool, then used the method found on You Tube with the rebar stake in the middle and a strait 2x4x18’ with a level taped to it to circle around the sand and level it. When filled the water was perfectly level around the liner. Don’t skimp on this part.

Well yeah. Why would I expect my wife to carry something that heavy? Besides, her parents came by to drop something off (they were just off screen on the right) and she was talking to them.

Im having trouble understanding why you would make a comment like this. My wife and I worked in tandem during every step, from bringing home the 330lb sod cutter and rolling/clearing the sod, to shoveling and hauling the DG to place under the pool.

You're on the right track with your plan. I used pieces of pressure treated 2x8 and 1x8 and would either set them into the ground or add dirt under them to raise them to achieve a level top ring.

@@axelruntschke So the pool was finally finished just about 3 months now. The good news is that the installation and prepping came out flawless. Not even a 1/2" offset and even made a small section with pavers on the outside, where the ladder sits to rinse feet before going in. The bad news is that even though all roots and grasses where ripped, ground leveled, sprayed the ground with Roundup and as a final precaution laid out a 5 mil thick tarp under the pool liner, a grass blade managed to grow through. I've read that St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses are very intrusive, but this is ridiculous. For now there's no leak and I'm not worrying about it. I'll deal with it when it really becomes a problem. Other than that, everyone is truly enjoying the watering hole.

Not at all. The boards are either flush with the ground or just slightly above or below to achieve a level top ring. The liner in vinyl and very sturdy. No issues after 1 year.

Зачетно мне тоже понравилось

I didn't use straight sand, but sandy clay. Very different. I needed 2 yards to level the spot.

Florida Outlander Smart, sandy clay compacts well and less risk of washout. Thanks for the information sir!! And I’m looking forward to silica sand/filter sand difference video.

@@dreedy23691 hoping to be able to do that video on Saturday, my only day off. Work's been crazy.

Florida Outlander No rush, sir. Let a working man work!!!

It's been up for 2 years now and it has seen many strong winds and storms. It's not going anywhere.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you there. I live in North Florida so we don't need a heater.

Perro: "Donde esta el banjo?"

@@axelruntschke waaaaajajajajajaja

Thank you!

Nope

Ours came with the tarp. Home Depot and Lowe's should have some.

@@axelruntschke thank you really appreciate.

The tarp that came with the pool was, I believe, 19 feet x 19 feet. Maybe 20. The circular one you see I think was 15 feet round. Just had it laying around so I used it.

@@axelruntschke thanks so much. I ordered the 18ft x 52inch intex pool we're waiting for it to come in but I want to go ahead and take the grass up.

@@acooper8333 yeah make sure all grass and roots are dug up, and be sure to level the area. These pools do not like uneven ground.

@@axelruntschke thank you!

@@acooper8333 you bet. Check out my other video. I give a comprehensive review.

$640 USD on Amazon.

Just a random tarp I had laying around. Can't remember when or where I got it. Just figured I'd throw it down for a little extra protection.

Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean the metal poles? The poles are very smooth and the liner is very thick. And there is no movement once it's full of water.

Florida Outlander No I’m talking about the paver stones rubbing against the bladder of the pool. I’ve never been able to get my pool level this year I leveled with paver stones one or two depending on how and level it was in each spot we put the tarp over that I’m worried about it’s still rubbing a hole in the bladder of the pool because they are cement and with the weight of the pool it may cause rubbing

The liner is surprisingly sturdy. And if you have the tarp over the pavers as well you shouldn't have any issues. There's little to no movement down there at the bottom of the liner.

So I don’t need to put sand over those paver stones?

No, you should be good.

18x52

You should install them leveled to grade. This prevents over stretching the liner and gives you a flat ground. A way on knowing where to place them is to just assemble the steel top ring without the liner and legs/support beams once you have the ground semi prepared. With help, place the ring on its final location and mark the areas where the feet will be at every the "T" brace with paint. Once that's done, dig down to install pavers at final grade. At the end, if all paver blocks are leveled to final grade (by using a laser or water level), you can use them as a reference to level off the ground itself around them, where the pool will sit and your pool will be perfectly leveled.

Macario Aguilar I used a gas powered tiller to loosen the hard ground, then raked from the high end down to the low. Ground ended up being too hard so I got 2 yards of sandy clay to put on the low side to get everything level. The pavers are absolutely necessary so the legs don't sink into the ground over time.

@@axelruntschke thank you..Mac

A flat shovel and then I rented a tiller to break up the ground and level everything.

What?

How much did you pay for it?

Blood, sweat, and tears. LOL. Fortunately, that area was rather sparse so a flat shovel did the trick.

We rented a sod cutter and it was an absolute beast to use in the TX clay!
