How to build a pool yourself.
Having a pool on the site is perhaps everyone’s dream. However, not everyone can afford such an expensive pleasure. This is exactly what one enterprising Swede thought and built the pool from ordinary wooden pallets. The best part is that material costs were no more than $ 80.
Swede Torben Jung made his own pool from recycled materials.
Torben Jung dreamed of his own pool on the site. And since his purchase was too expensive for the Swede, he decided to make a pond for swimming with his own hands. Following instructions found on the internet, Jurgen built a real functional pool. The guy filmed the whole process of work with a camera and posted it on social networks, so that everyone who wants to can invent something like that for themselves.
1. Wooden pallets
Wooden pallets – the basis of the pool.
Lashing straps strengthen the structure.
Torben set 9 wooden pallets in a circle, nailing slats onto them. To finally strengthen the structure, he used tension belts..
2. Waterproof material and towels
Towels spread for softness.
After that, a waterproof material was spread, on which the Swede additionally threw towels. This is done so that the edges and joints do not press on the backs of those who will be in the pool..
3. Another blue waterproof lining
Blue waterproof material.
To give the pool a traditional look, Torben chose another blue-tone waterproof pad and secured it around the edges with a pallet..
4. Facade made of bamboo
Outside the pool is sheathed with bamboo.
The final chord in the construction of the pool was the decoration of it with bamboo branches, hiding all the internal materials.
5. Water pump
Water is pumped out using a pump.
By the way, Torben also took care of how easy it is to drain the pool water. For this he used a pump. Now, if necessary, the guy can easily change the water.
If this craftsman did not have the funds to buy a pool for his site, then for others it is the other way around: the lack of free space becomes a decisive factor. But modern designers have found a way out. They came up with the technology of hidden pools that can turn into cozy patios or marble floors..
