    We’re buying a best way pool and have been looking for inspiration and this brought a lot of smiles😃. The end was hilarious reading about all the help you got 😃. It looks absolutely amazing well done 👍🏾 🙌🏽👌👌

    So you have pictures or a slower video of how you did decking and the inside rail? Also where did you put the pump and filter?

    Looks amazing and I love ❤ the tikki bar! Purchased my Bestway pool this summer and we loved it. Opting for a 14ft wooden pool for 2021 - thatll really piss off the neighbours when I invite my salon girlies for a dip and drinkies haaa!

    What was the final price by the time it was all said and done?

    • @ukstaffsearch
      @ukstaffsearch  3 роки тому

      Ballpark I think was around £14k (GBP), this included £1800 for the pool, £1250 for the heater, £700 for Pump and Filter, £7500 for groundworks and turfing, £1300 for concrete, £1000 for installation of electrics pipework etc..Decking was another £700, Pool cover and lights was maybe £500.. I don't intend on dismantling over the winter and don't really have a room as such, heater needs to be outside and the pump and filter have just been put in a box with insulation to make it as quiet as possible.. thanks for your question and for watching..

    Tidy job, looks smart and well built, you was more then half was there to having a proper built pool. Looking at the cost it wouldn't be much in it either.

    With the concrete you poured in, you have just waterproofed the concrete and made that your pool👍🏻

      This wasn't lost on me at the end yes. But when i bought the pool I was going to just keep it above ground but when I put it together I realised just how big it was so decided to sink it down. As the project went on and I decided to do a proper concrete base, and then sides by the end using an above ground pool probably wasn't the way to go but was too late by then. I may change it in a couple of years to a proper pool but couldn't face doing it at the time. Thanks for the comment and watching.

    Hello Jim, thank you for your shared video. It has beatified your home/garden. Well finished! Anyway to get an estimation of your total cost for it?, Where have you built your technical room for the pump and others?
    Are you going to leave it like that during winter as well or dismantle it as advised by the user instructions?

    BTW, doesn't water get filled in the gap between the pool and the retaining wall while raining? How are you managing this issue if you don't mind me asking?

    • @ukstaffsearch

      I buried a sump pump down the side before i closed it up. When this happens and it gets high I switch it on for an hour and it just pumps out int the garden. Thanks for watching
