Recently, more and more people are striving to create a cozy place to relax on their territory. And what could be better than a private pool? But many people have a question: how to build a pool with your own hands from improvised materials?

Before you start building a pool, you need to decide on a place for its installation. It is best to choose places where it is possible to connect to the water and sewer systems. It should also be borne in mind that the presence of trees that can trample on the base of the pool will be undesirable.

To build a pool with your own hands, you can use hard and soft plastic materials, sheet metal, waterproofing materials, brick, concrete, aerated concrete and other materials. Of course, the choice of materials depends on the size and depth of the pool.

It is best to use a prefabricated frame system for building a pool. This will require a profile pipe, which can be bought in specialized stores. However, if you want to save money, you can use the pipe of old metal beds or chairs. For the frame, you will also need a welding machine.

Windproof fabric must be used to cover the frame. Choose fabrics made from synthetic materials that will retain their properties when in contact with water. But you can also use old air mattresses. They are easily stretched over the frame and will not allow getting wet. It is also possible to use sheet iron for coating.

After you have assembled the frame and covered it, you need to pour water. It is best to start filling the pool with water with certain knowledge in the field of geology. Poorly chosen depth and thickness of the soil can lead to dangerous situations, such as sinking the pool into the ground. If you do not know what kind of ground is under your feet, it is best to seek help from specialists in this field.

Now let's look at a few examples of how you can build a pool from improvised materials.

1. Pallet pool

To build a pool from pallets, you will need:

- Pallets (the number depends on the size of the pool, but, on average, 8 to 12 are needed).
- Film for waterproofing (it is recommended to use high quality polyethylene film).
- Tape for fixing the film.
- Primer and paint (optional).

The pallets must be connected to each other using self-tapping screws and the waterproofing film must be fixed to the inside of the pool using a fastening tape.

2. Pool from old pools

To build a pool from old pools, you will need:

- Old pools (2-3 pieces).
- Hose (it is recommended to use a wide hose with a diameter of 2.5 to 5 cm).
- Adhesive for sealing the hose.
- Film for waterproofing (it is recommended to use high quality polyethylene film).
- Tape for fixing the film.

To begin with, you should arrange the old pools so that they make up one large pool. In order to avoid leaks in the pool, it is necessary to weld the old pools together in several places. After that, it is necessary to install a water purification hose and a waterproofing film.

However, before finishing the construction of the pool, it is necessary to install a water purification system and a boost pump. That's it, your pool is ready!

As you can see, creating a pool from improvised materials is not difficult at all. Building with raw materials and transforming them into a functional and comfortable swimming pool can be an enjoyable pastime. I hope this material will help you realize your dream of having your own pool.
