Setup Intex 18' x 9' Ultra XTR pool (26355EH)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2021
- I purchased an Intex 18' x 9' x 52" Ultra XTRA Frame Rectangular Pool (26355EH) this year: 2021. This video walks you through what is in the box and how to assemble the pool from ground cloth - filling it with water.
Note: Setting up the pump is not included in this video.
Intex 18x9 ft pool claims it only takes 60 -90 minutes to assemble; I wanted to test how accurate this was. For the first time ever setting up the pool, taking breaks to read the instructions carefully, 2 people setup this pool in 2 hours. After we completed this setup for the first time, I really believe we can get that time down in between 60-90 minutes. I had NEVER setup a pool before.

Words of advice:
- Make sure your foundation work is level and solid before starting the setup (Patio Paver Project video coming soon)
- Open all of the boxes first and organize the parts
- check the parts for dents that could interfere with assembly (we had 1 bent end on a pole, i was able to fix with pillars)
- Have at least 2 people helping with setup
- Clear a work area around the pool to make it easier to layout pieces and walk around

I'm pulling my hair out in this heat with a wild 2 year old running around all while trying to assemble this darn pool 😂 this is helpful. Thank you
You guys did better than me. Took me 2 hours after having it unpacked. Filling it up now. Watched the video first and helped me avoid reading the tiny instruction print. Came back to comment and say thanks! 👍
Great to hear that it helped. Thanks for leaving a comment
Great video and attention to detail and prep work. This is a great way to explain the pool
Going to start putting this pool together now…!!
I will Luke how it goes…!!
Your video is definitely going to help me out…!!
Now I know what I am up against
THANK YOU 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you for taking the time to show details.
Glad you appreciated it and thank you for leaving a comment.
Great video. Really gave me some great ideas and tips to setup my pool.thank you for sharing.
I just ordered one and I can't wait to put it together.
Thats great! Hope you enjoy it. We have used ours for a few years now, taking it down every fall and putting it back up in spring.
I purchased same pool, it comes in next week. I have more confidence now. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. Enjoy the pool
Great video presentation and your voice is so soothing to listen to you two did a beautiful job.
Thank you
You guys are a great team! Very organized and systemic. Great to watch
Thank you
@@carlytackles you are welcome but pleasure is all mine
We are doing this today and this has been so helpful. Thank you!!!
That is great to hear. Enjoy the pool
We're trying to do today 103 temp in TX and thanks for this video. Saved marriage and child... 😆
Happy to help
Fabulous video!! Thanks!
Awesome tutorial!!!
I like the baby powder tip
Thank you for sharing how long it took you to assemble with some context of what you were doing during the assembly (i.e. pausing to read directions, experience level, etc.).
Thanks bunny love this buying one this summer yes mama ❤🎉
Thank you! I found this very helpful!
That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching
It's easier to put the corners in if you put all sides of the pool up first, then put the corners in.
Great advice. Thanks for adding it.
Thanks, good video helped me to prepare lol
NIce job Got one coming for spring
Thank you! Enjoy the pool
Good video. I wish you talked about the area under you needed to level and build also. Thats where i am at.
I did a whole video on that, separate from the pool setup. Check it out! :)

Anyone know what the total footprint of the pool is when fully assembled and full?
I have a 20 x 11 area that i would like to place it on just curious if it would fit?
I know its 18x9 but if the legs stick out alot it might not work
Same question
The manual says the total foot print will be 19’x 10’
need to see the pump install
Way better then the vid intex has about assembly
Thank you!
Great video!!! Love ya!
Hi! Thank you for posting this video. Can you tell us how long the electrical cord is for the pump?
The pool is currently stored for winter, but I can tell you that the pump electrical cord came from the side of the pool, across full width of pool (9’) to plug in. Hope that helps you out.
Thank you so much! Super helpful!
hello loved the video! how long did it take you to fill the pool??!
With 1 hoses-> entire day. The last few years we have used 2 hoses to fill it up and it takes about half a day.
Hi! Great video. Did you keep pool up during winter or take it down?
Thanks. We took it down even though it did say you can leave it up. We live in very cold climate and didnt want to risk it.
I'm gonna set up mine soon. How far from the eage of my deck I should set the legs up? .
The legs when setup, take up an extra foot (10’ x19’) according to the manual. One thing to think about is that to setup the pool the u frame have to lay full flat and out away from pool. If the deck has a railing- make sure you allow for the length of the U frame on each side plus the pool dimensions or your setup will be difficult
Wish you ladies would have shown the assembly of the pump :(
Thank you!
Do you have a video detailing the ground prep? It looks like you have a high-quality level base.
I do, here is the link: Carly Tackles...Paver Patio for a Pool

I hope you find it helpful
Hi, for the 18x9 Intex pool, how big is the area below for set up? In your video it appears a good 3 feet all the way around? Thank you, Steve
The frame sits out a bit so the space of the pool is 19’ x 10’. I did a video on the patio setup if you find that helpful. I will tell you that I wish i would have the patio wider than I did. When setting up the pool it would have been nicer to have a bit more room to work with the U frame pieces.
How far do the legs stick out at the bottom from the sides?
The manual says that when the pool is full of water the width of the pool, including base of frame is 19’ x 10’. I find that pretty close to accurate. It might extend a little farther
How many pavers did u put around the pool?
I used different sizes so it is hard to say. Here is a link to the video i posted on how i setup the pavers. Carly Tackles...Paver Patio for a Pool
ua-cam.com/video/BU5c7Eay3VE/v-deo.html
I wish i would have made it wider than I did. The pool frame sits on the edge of the pavers and I wished it would have landed in the middle.
AWESOME!!!! I just followed the instructions in your video to set up my pool!! However I’m confused as what to do with the filter…. Do I add pool sand or salt??
The filter that comes with the pool is a sand filter. You can buy a separate thing so you can pour pool salt into the pool vs chlorine and other chemicals. We have both the sand filter and the salt water system
@@carlytackles just bought this exact pool on amazon, waiting for arrival. Related question: how much of each chemical (sand, chlorine, etc.) did you use (i.e. pounds of sand)? Any brand/store you'd recommend?
Since we purchased the salt system, we did not use any chlorine. I think to get started with salt system, we used 1-2 bags of morton pool salt. In terms of brands, we didnt have too many options, it was one we could fine locally and it seems to do the trick.
It terms of sand, i want to say the pump doesnt hold that much at a time. I think 1 50lb bag will do the trick for first and second year. The brand we tried is HTH pool filter sand. It does say it is compatible with salt systems.
What size is your slab that your pool sits on? I can't find the info on intex website and customer service didn't know. I don't want to over shoot it due to cost. Size with the posts. Thank you.
I did a separate video on the base: Carly Tackles...Paver Patio for a Pool
ua-cam.com/video/BU5c7Eay3VE/v-deo.html
I also went slim as possible on the width to save money, i regret it.
The frame sits 10’ x 19’, according to the manual. The paver base came to 10.5’ and frame sits too close to the edge of pavers and they cant handle the weight. It would have been better of the frame landed more in the center of the pavers.
Funsicele oasis lap pool 18×9
I’m getting ready to install the same pool and would like to know how far apart are your pavers, length and width? There’s no instructions on how to set these up prior to setting up the pool.
The frame sits about 10’ x19’. You want the pool frame to be centered on the pavers other wise the weight will cause the pavers flip and shift. I used a combination of sizes, 8x16, 16x16, 24x16. I would recommend one of the 2 bigger ones for the frame. You can check out my other video on the setup. I would make it bigger than i did.
Nice!!! How wide is it actually? since those supports stick out beyond the frame (which they estimate is 9'). Guessing it is maybe 10.5' in total width? Thank you
The frames bottom dimensions are 19’ x 10’ according to instructions. I find that to be close to true. I wish my patio i made was wider so the frame could be in the middle of the pavers and instead of the end of them. The weight caused a few to shift
@@carlytackles great - thank you! I look on the online manual, but couldn't find that. Yes - that is something we are trying to consider is how much extra space to put around the entire perimeter. Great video and thank you!
did the sides level out
Can I get the length and width I should level the ground with not sure if 20Lx10W would work ?
The instructions give you those dimensions for total setup dimensions, but i would make the space larger or at least make sure can move around the pool. When you set it up those U brackets lay flat and straight out on the sides and ends. I have another video on ground prep and I wish I would have made it wider. ua-cam.com/video/BU5c7Eay3VE/v-deo.html
I'm setting this pool up now. My worry is the loose corner pieces. Does it get tighter as pool is filled
The corners stay a little loose, allowing for movement. I never had any issues with the corners last year
I have an area that is restricted with room how wide and long do the actual poles need , please ?
The instructions say to allow an extra foot at both end which would make total dimensions 19’x 10’. If you can allow more room it will make setup easier.
How long did it take to put together completely without water?
Our first time- about 90 minutes
This year was much faster- probably closer to the 60 minute advertised, we didn’t time it this year. Our take down prep made it a smooth setup this year.
Thank you. Any chance you think I could build this then carry it over to where it will be? Asking as I will be sinking it in ground. Thanks!!
It would be difficult to move all of the pieces together. The corner pieces float vs lock in, and they hold the sides up and in place. I would think if you tried to move it the sides would fall down. The U brackets do snap in into the poles so that would move with you. You might be able to build it partially and then add the corner pieces and raise the sides in the hole
@@carlytackles ok thank you!!!
Can you add above ground pool gates to this pool?
I’m not sure.
Are you using a salt water system? How many 40lb bags did you add?
We are using a Salt Water System. The instructions said upon setup expect to use 115 lbs which is about 3 bags. I think we used 3 bags plus a some of bag 4. Since initial setup, we haven’t had to add much salt, but we do keep the debris cover on it when not in use. We have probably used 6 bags of Salt, including the setup. So much cheaper than buying chlorine.
We bought the bigger system because that is all we could find at the time, but this system would work for this pool too

Hello. We are considering lowering the pool into the ground by a foot or two feet. Would you warn against that? I would really like to build a small little deck around it.
Honestly, I dont know. I’m trying to think of possible issues it may cause but I cant think of any at the moment.
How long did it take to fill the pool ?
About 2 days
Do the corner post get pushed all the way in till they bottom out? Mine is 60% full and the corners haven't pushed out any..
They stay in until the water really fills to the top. You should see them move out a little bit, but not as much as you might think
@@carlytackles thank you for being so helpful!!!
@@carlytackles will the sides level out like straighten out caus my pool looks like yours did when filling up
The sides will continue to move outward as water fills. They will stay inward a bit. The bottom of the pool will be wider than the top
No pump how to?
Sorry. I never made a video on that part.
Can you tell me the measurements of your ground preparation with the pavers and interior sand area?
@Trinity Kirk I am releasing a video this Friday on how I made the paver patio for the pool.
For the Paver portion: Width is 10' 8" and Length is 24'
The internal sand is about 9' x 18'
The pool recommended that the frame sit on 15" x 15" pavers/board. I used pavers that were nominal 16" x 16". The frame (surrounding the pool) measures 10' x 19'.
I hope this helps!
@@carlytackles great vid! thank you! I was going to ask you the same question. Trying to figure out how much space I need to cut out and level in my yard. So 19x10 is it!
@@teenice894 make sure the center of your paver lines up to the 19' x 10'. that was a mistake that I made. The pool supports should be in the middle of the pavers, not the edge. Make it a tad bigger ;)
Can I purchase this liner for an older Intex 9x18x52? The liner for my model pool is no longer made. Everything looks the same as far as the parts.
I dont know. Maybe reach put to intex
Thank you
Intex was no help. They want to sell me a new pool.
Of course they do, lol. Sorry
What is the diameter of your cement block foundation? Look really nice!
Thanks. I made a video on the base: Carly Tackles...Paver Patio for a Pool
The pool instructions say the frame is 10’ x 19’. You want the frame to hit the center of the blocks, not the ends. I cut it a little short, I would make it bigger if I could go back in time. 24’ x 10.5’ I think is the final dimensions
what is the actual floor size required for this pool.. So furthest measurements once set up? Thanks in advance
The instructions say the base (arms) go out 10’ x 20’.
@@carlytackles thanks I only have a space of 3160 mm (10.5") with no more room to move wide available and so want to make sure will fit..
You may have a difficult time setting up the sides. When you connect the U bars to the frame and lay them out, they extend beyond 10’
How wide is the top is it a 9ft wide or 8ft at top?
9.1 bottom, 8.1 top. Plus the legs actually make the foot print over a foot wider/longer all around
What's the size of the area you did for the pool... I did a 11x20 concrete deck and may consider putting side plates to prevent legs going off edge for safety as plan is to do landscaping around the pool when done... Would be great if can give me the size your pool is on so I can guage from. The video if its ok
Hello. The patio measures 10.5’ x 24’. I would make it wider if i could do it again. A concrete slab that size would not have the same issues i had with pavers. I needed the frame to center on paver to prevent them from shifting.
@@carlytackles thanks 🙏🏽
I set mine up on a hillside and it collapsed and tidal wave smashed my shed
Ouch!
the ground prep is the only part that requires any thinking and u skipped that part lol.

Remind me not to hire you as an assembler😅😅😅
Great video. How much extra space would you need on each side besides the pool as it supports extend the pool liner wall?
The manual says 10’x 19’ but i would add extra foot to each end. 11’x 20’ would be better
