River Pools Build Start to Finish 

Yeah, that wouldn't have made me happy.

I have installed semi-rigid pvc pipes (gray astralpool diameter 50). I can backfill or risk crushing. Height 1.50m

Thanks! It's the D32 from River pools. It's 16 by 32 feet, with a 4 foot tanning ledge. After landscaping and a pool shed, we spent right around 120k.

This is the Caribbean Sparkle. Good luck with your new pool!

We had plastic forms attached directly to the pool lip. When the concrete was set, the forms simply snapped off.

@@pkhulk That's a clean look without the coping. Did that save you money?

@@vickipackham7357 it didn’t make a lot of difference. But we didn’t want a lip all around the pool.

@@pkhulk what plastic forms are they, we are in NZ not sure if we have an equivalent product here

Between landscaping, a pool shed, accessories and the pool itself, we spent around $130k.

@@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

@@tropicalsbigdaddyr53577 I live just south of Memphis. What company did you use for the install? Did you use a kit from a company like Royal Pools?

It's 1.8 acres

With landscaping, and pool shed, it was about $120,000

@@pkhulk ...thanks!

It’s 5 feet on each side, except the fire pit side, which is 8 feet.

Sorry, no. It's in Tennessee.

Why

Freeze, thaw or if ground around becomes saturated concrete can crack and cause shell upheaval. Stone is best bet.

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.
