petetherock 8 Report post Posted October 6, 2018 Dear friends My new place has a 12m long driveway and I am considering building a 10 by 2 m lap pool, about 1.2m deep.

petetherock 8 Report post Posted December 24, 2018 The rains slowed things down a bit, but they will lay the concrete this week, then the tiles after that. Very excited that I can finally see the pool taking shape.. I will report back and share if this pool guy is solid once the deed is done. They are laying pipes for electricals too and very soon I can see the form shaping up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petetherock 8 Report post Posted February 19, 2019 My pool project is almost there.. Tiles in place, and they are installing the pumps right now.. Building a pool is just like any other reno job: - get everything in B&W: - type of equipment to be used - warranty of pool + gear - completion date - if you want anything included, get it in B&W!

petetherock 8 Report post Posted October 17, 2020 Some pool costs: - chlorine either in tablet form or powder - I prefer powder - cleaning and flushing the pool - you can hire someone for around 70-80 a week - topping up the water Most of these, you can manage yourself actually... it can be done. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of pool do you have? Who built your pool and what kind of components do you use? There are videos online, but this forum allows spambots and ads but we can't post links..

I actually don’t know the details of the pool specifics. 🧐 could you please share with me what I must ask my builder. thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
