I just wanna say, thank you for making this video.. that is my father, Kevin Peebles, in the video and he passed away in 2020 from Cancer. When I’m missing him I watch this video and brings back lots of great memories of building pools with him. ❤😇
Hi Kaylie, Your father was a worker and craftsmen. He put those pools together like hotcakes 😊. It was sad to hear he passed and I’m sure he is watching over, he was a great man.
🥹♥️😇
Sorry for your loss.
Aww so sorry for your loss honey. My sister died of cancer a year ago. She just loved her pool and I also think of her when I am watching any pool stuff.
Awwwh 😢. Cancer sucks
Verbal instructions explaining the steps would be good,. Duh.
Man, you make it look so easy, but you can see how much that frame weighs ... I think hiring IS definitely the way to go
Step one: Get a bobcat... aaaaaand I'm out.
exactly 😂
You rent one, it's not that complicated
yeah no shit, i see all these videos of "how to" but they forget to mention the equipment like bobcats and tractors they first use!!
Fr. We are putting ours up and had to hand dig ALL of it. A 24’ foot pool 😔
@@crow-vz5lx haahahaa "How To build this in 10 easy steps
Step 1: have a $50K piece of equipment "
How to install an above ground swimming pool. Pay someone else to do it.
What size you have and how much they charge you
@@thamirromaya37 fcyyybnnģg
no. its $500+ not worth it.
ً $3,500 for the sandbox/frame and pool build of a 12X20 oval here in California. Clean sand was the most costly part.
Why, when it only takes like 11 minutes! 😂
That soundtrack will be stuck in my head for the next day or 2 😅
Disturbing music my friend, I had nightmares
You did a great job explaining this! Our family thanks you!!!
How to install an above ground pool: Pay someone else to do it!
Excellent Job! What kind of pool is that and how much was the installation?
Am I the only one who likes the music lol
Go to all this trouble you may build a real in ground pool after all‼😨
GETREAL! Yeah because this pool costs 10k and an in the ground pool costs 40k......
Inground = taxes
Yea cause everyone has a Bob cat in their garage to install an above ground pool.
You can rent them for relatively cheap. The contractor you pay more then likely doesnt own it either. You are paying for the rental either way.
If you have a fairly level spot where pool is going. You really dont need any equipment
You can rent one for the day for about 180 bucks, and you can use a long level to check for level.
Also need the bobcat to lift the compactor out of the pool area once you're finished....
2 shovels & a couple hired kids can remove the topsoil just fine.
You can tell this guy has put up a few pools in his life time... Excellent work, I began the ground work for my pool, and this guy makes it look so much easier... GREAT work, thanks for sharing.
But I noticed when screwing in the top screws they were not "tight" is that for expansion?
Awesome video! My husband and I do this for a living, and there’s never a boring day 🙈 Just made 3 different videos recently on my channel about comparing a “real” pool this this one in your video, to Coleman and Intex brand pools! 🤪🙌
I'll check it out!
Craig Heffernan Thanks man! 🥰
@@TheImpressiveMix what is the average cost of having one like this installed
We bought our sheet-metal pool from a friend. I believe we might be the third owners. It was a little bit rusty on the bottom but still went up just fine, I think these metal pools last a super long time. We have had no issues with ours whatsoever. I personally like how the cushion and the vinyl liner feel under your feet over a plaster pool. Much more pleasant. I couldn’t be happier with this type of pool, I plan on keeping it until I can’t maintain it myself anymore.
The blue world pool?
wtf is this music lol
Hi. You installed the big swimming pool that weight more than 1000 litre. I would like to know if that weight can break the pool? Thanks
excellent video! I love the way you held the walls up so that they wouldn't fall over and get damaged!
the music in the video is terrible....other than that great vid.
Wow. I’m amazed! We might get one of these steel pools installed by our local pool place/market. It’s about 5grand on the low end. We would rather have pros do it. As we would fail and have no clue what we’re doing and will end up breaking something. + no experience
But how was the side backfilled? I would like to match grade to my yard but I'm worried about moisture and corrosion.
Me too
Never backfill to the side of the pool otherwise when or if you let the water out you’ll be removing the offsetting weight to the soil back filled and the pool will be like a crushed soda can when the weight of the dirt rips through it.
Nice pool
Great step by step video thanks for the close ups so we can actually see what you are doing!
Can’t believe the old guy moved all that sand by himself instead did those young bucks. Also really like how you used the shop cap to tighten up the liner
What brand is that pool? I like it because the wall is one piece.

LMAO, i guess ill put up a pool this weekend, looks sooooooo damn ez
I started 2 weeks ago all hand dug working a hour or 2 after work every other day. Due to the plandemic the quotes we got for installation keeps me digging every week 😂😂😂😂
This is the video I watched about 5 times when we put together our pool almost 4 years ago. I remember the funky music! It was a good video, we still have our pool all set up and it is just great!
$2000 for the pool, $6000 installation.
Installation is in any location or specific state?
ً $3,500 for the sandbox/frame and pool build of a 12X20 oval here in California. Clean sand was the most costly part.
thanks for uploading Craig, now more videos please, I love your videos.
Hello could you tell me where did you buy the things you put before the liner please?
Step 1) Close all doors and windows of the house.
Step 2) Switch OFF all electrical mains and switchON all taps.
Step 3) Call 911 when you're bored.
Anyone know what the foam was he put around the bottom?
I couldn’t survive through the music long enough to hit the 2 minute mark,
It’s so terrible. It just kept getting worse
Mute or turn it down.
Good video for any do it yourself er out there. I have a question. I've learned that placing rocks that high around a steel pool will cause premature rusting. Not saying all situations as some good drainage areas don't really matter. Perhaps this is a good shed off area or that is rubber mulch that looks like rocks around the finished pool? I Install pools in Massachusetts and we do lot's of resin and aluminum construction. I'd also like to say the installers here did a great job installing the pool. cheers!
Above Ground Pool Builder they’d be better off leaving it dugout, put an inch of stone and leave it. Seen too many pools rust or shift in because someone tried to bury part of an above ground pool
Y cuanto cuesta un trabajado como este?
What size pool is that? It's hard to gauge sizes online - they always photo-hack them by shrinking the people to make the pools seem huge. LOL.
Did anyone else just watch all the way to the end for the satisfaction feeling lol
I used to install pools 5 days a week with one other guy. It only costs about $80 - $130 to rent a skid steer/ bobcat. It’s definitely worth renting as the pools pay a decent amount of money. These guys are good are what they do and that’s 100% how to do it. The only thing I have to say is I don’t like the foam cove/ corners that they use. Believe it or not it’s better to make a cover out of dirt and pack it down with a tamper and water.
dirt over sand ???
The title should be "How I install an above ground pool" No information at all.
Cool im watching these vids cuz our pool filling up at home we had set it up today😂
What is the foam that you put on the ground below the pad??
Hi, great video. But what is the name of the thing you guys used to hold up the pool wall as you went along. Its looked like a hook attatched to strings, then staked jnto the ground for support. Hope that makes sense lol
One end is tied to a stew driver that can be pushed in the ground. The other end is a double coat hook that is used to hold to the pool wall side go.magik.ly/ml/225bi/
By far the best set up video I've seen yet. Bravo, gents.
Awesome!
If I can't pay ppl.like this.i want have one. That's some work.
You can do it !!!
If you need to file an insurance claim for your pool, you'll likely be denied coverage if the bottom track is entirely covered by rocks or dirt. The left side of this pool looks probably ok, but the right side is an easy out for insurance to say "naw dawg. we aint gonna reimburse your collapsed pool because you put rocks and shit all up the right side of it". Happened to me, and happened to a close friend. Mind you we're in Canada, so maybe it's different.
Went to my local pool store they wanted $5,000 for a 12x54 pool installed. Needless to say I’m not up to getting robbed. I ordered a pool online and I’m having a guy who installs pools put it in.
Total cost ? $2,500 pool,sand filter,
and labor! Don’t put up with the bullshit!
Went great 👍 Been enjoying the pool tremendously! The online pool store I ordered from now is sold out of all their pools. Since the virus people have been putting pools in their yards. I’d say get online next year like February or March when people aren’t thinking of pools and order one ! Go to The Pool Factory online. Then I’d go to a local pool store and strike up a conversation with their pool installer like I did and see if he does side jobs. It’s worth the effort
Good Luck!
How much or what are the figures for this project?
6 figures i was only 4
Decent video, however the guy with the lit cigarette in his mouth dangling over that fragile liner...just no.
No explanation is needed as the video says it all. That's what the directions are for. 😂 👍
A long time ago I met a VERY rich man (he owned several businesses, never graduated college). I asked him, what is your secret to success, how did you become so rich and successful ... and he leaned over and he said, "It's all very simple... hard work, lots and lots of hard work." That has stuck with me, and I am constantly reminded of it every day... and especially in the comments below.
Great video! Thanks, now I know my $1200 bill is worth it. I'm out!
Where can I get this music?
Cool video! Dont forget to call the electrician ahead of time so all of the proper grounding and bonding takes place. Electricity and water do not mix well so hire a licensed pro to do the electrical. Why take a chance?
Great work . I've been building these things for 25 years
How much do you charge to build
@@MattScherrer716 A job like that would usually run about $ 1200
Mr. Johnny pools are you anywhere near Pennsylvania by chance? I need a new pool installed.
I was about to get a pool but my brothers wanted a TV more
Great video, horrible music 🎶
Lol
how mach is the money ni kenyan form lol
great job - people dont realize the importance of prepping the ground - when filled pool is 80k plus lbs - and will easily collapse if not done right -
Wouldn't the weight of the water compress that foam into being useless?
How thick is the rolled foam for the base?
Great video, just wondering if you lost a bet and whoever won got to pick the music.
That is beautiful, how will I know how to install it
What is the material at 6:12? and what is the material you are using in the corners?
Man, that is one catchy beat while you’re working! Great video!
How much did this cost? With and without labor? Great video. Thanks
Typical above ground pool is about 4-6k
Installation varies, usually about 10-12k for everything
This is definitely not for the do it yourself person. This is more complex job than I expected and needs a few workers too. I think it is better to hire a professional than trying to do it yourself and maybe incorrectly installing it.
You are already talking yourself with your negativity. Successful people take the risk all the time. You can do it!!!!
@@Deckbuilding I like your attitude sir !
I don't want a pool I want my own little beach property, bought by own money.
Now enough of pool danger signs or its to late.
When it's really to late is when a shark has swolled me up and he is shitting me out of his a-hole.
No problem cuz I love shitting, also!
Yes, thank you guys. Really appreciate showing the vacuum to pull the wrinkles out and all the other steps you take in the order that makes the install so efficient. DIY guy here on my 5th install for my family members.
I feel like we need to make some sort of sacrifice with the music. Is King Kong going to be coming out of the woods? Great video though. 😁
There's only so much music to pick from thats free.
nice
nice
Great Video Craig! Can I please ask a few questions. IS that a custom dolly that you are using in video, the blue one? Also where did you get those tensions lines like that, those are awesome. Any furthermore, and other tips about tools and equipment for installation?
By the looks of that photo I'm assuming it was a typo and they meant how not to install a swimming pool.
Ill assume that you may be talking about the the pool is under the ground on one side 12". Im telling you that it is ok to backfill with dirt the way you see it in the picture, no typo
Looks good. But not sure if I should do all this, for my 13 ×42 ft pool. Wondering if just simply putting gravel over the area on my grass, then putting pool on that will work.
I really wish I had these guys working with me on my pool. I hired a company but they haven't even taken the time to return my calls or my email. Great job guys. I'm jealous as I look at my pool waiting for its installation. What company is this may I ask?
craigsclocks installers get extremely swamped in the summer.. rain, wind, lack of sunlight, and many other variables set us back. These guys have the same issue I’m sure. Cut your guys a break my man
We used this method to install my 30' on a black Friday. Lot of morons in the comments that need their hand held. If your not one of those numbskulls definitely used this method.
I was just sittin' & chillin'. 🥶 Then I hit up this video! I gotta say yo, I kept on boogie-oogie-oogie-ing thru the whole thing! Shook my hips and clapped my mitts! 🧤Them drums 🥁 was giving my biscuits a butter beatin' son! 🧈 Boy was spittin' fairy dust all over my noodle holes....they be drippin'! 🧚 I had sciatica flare-up before this video...ITS GONE NOW SUGA!! 🔥Dunno where you got them beats, but I gotta go get to gettin' gone gettin' more of those thunder rapz! ⚡Shew dawgs they HOTTT!!! 🌶
Oh yeah. Pool was cool. 🏊
It was good except for that music
Is that a 24' or 30'
?
Or perhaps... 27?
That was probably a 24 maybe 26.
Thanks a Lot for this video that's awesome
just put a 5 gallon bucket in the middle of that circle and "Boom" you have a pool!, you"ll just have to take turns getting in, ya know. 😂
We just put our own pool in earlier this summer. Bought from The Pool Factory over the winter, then could not find a contractor willing to install it this spring. Couldn't even get a damned quote. & What a pain in the ass it was! SO. MANY. ROCKS. So many! 😔 😔
Anyway we put those patio blocks in under the posts just like you did here, per our installation instructions. Got the pool installed, filled, everything is great, mostly.
Then I saw a video of an install & the guy said he would NEVER put blocks under the posts because of "frost heave." Showed pictures of the concrete blocks pushed up & out of the ground & the resulting wrinkled, creased, mangled pool walls the next spring. So now we're paranoid. It's not much of an issue in most southern states but we live in Southeastern Pennsylvania, which can get pretty frigid in winter. Is it something we should worry about?
Some1 always needs to smoke while installing a pool hay hay oo ahw hay hay ooo aw & wear a cap backwards to protect your face from uv just to look cool or hot o o o aw hay hay o o
Did you not use coping to hold the liner? It looked like you put the stabalizing rails directly on.
This is a unibead liner
I need content after this... I'm deciding if I wanna to stone or retaining wall... I'd love feedback
Wow that was awesome you must be really talented
So at every rail connection there should be an upright beam correct? On my pool theres 11 connections but I only have 10 beams? Obviously, I'm missing a leg right or am I doing something wrong or am I just dumb🤣?
How you really make a pool first you figure out where the center is with respecting the lenght from the fence and the house than you put screw driver in the ground than you take a mesuring tape to the center and lets say its a 18 feet pool someone holds the tape at 9 feet with someone with a sod cutter is a bit past the 9 feet to leave space for the stone dust later on. Than you take a rototiller to level the pool with rakes and making sure you make a bowl you raise where its high to bring it where its low than you check with the transit if its closed to leveled arround and if its not fix it once tha'ts done you spread stone dust arround the pool and hose it down with water once thats done you take the vibratin plate and use it on the stone dust. Than you take the mesure tape to the midle screw driver and at 9 feet someone takes a screw driver at 9 feet to make a line arround the pool on the stone dust thats been plated than one person digs a straight line from the center to the filtration and digs a round hole for the drain put the drain leveled and use stone dust instead of earth and recompact it with earth on the pipe except where the mesurements will be and works on the filtration while the other group of 2 people check what height you will use with the leveling transit and put stone dust arround the pool at that level you wet the mesurements and if needed spread the redt of the pool with stone dust or sand and use thd vribrating plate in the pool without touching the mesurements make sure you leave a bit of stone dust to fix where the wheel barrels will pass than you can start brining in the sand while someone uses the rake to level it arround and bring enough sand to have 3 piles of sand after the raking is done than place the tracks on the stone dust place a bungy between where each leg is supposed to be and wooden planks of wood on the sand arround the pool make sure you left the vibrating plate in the pool you can bring the wall on the plank of wood and start rolling it place a bungy on the wall except at the begining and last one than once its rolled shake the wall towards the end if theres missing s some to close it and if needed use a screw driver to close the wall than drill the top at hand tight with the guybon the other side keeps his foot where the leg of the pool is supposed to be put the 2 last bunhys than the midle and than the last one at the buttom on the outside someone drills all thr legs arround the pool except where you need to drill inside the pool both guys check the mesurements leg to leg on the wall making sure its 18 feet everywhere to make sure its a circle than finish drilling from buttom to top tight while the other guy starts shoveling to cover the tracks without moving the wall and where you drill make a small pile next to it ones finish drilling put 3 or 4 lares of duck tape and drilk the last leg where you drilled and put the plastic of the skimer with scotch tape on the inside and put the shotvac in the hole next to the skimer with scotch tape on the outside making sure its not low enough to suck the sand than rake to the wall by pulling and rake sideways toward s the wall while hosing down the sand with water than with your foot flating it arround the pool than start the vibrating plate arround the pool to the center wkth the other fuy behind fixing the small lines with his foot make sure you walk like a duck than when finish plating 2 people from the inside pass the plate to the people on the outside to a wheel barrel fix the small mess done from passing the plate and broom the inside towards the wall now they can pass the geo liner to place in the pool from the center unfold it rince it with water and jump against the wall small bumps with fix the lines everywhere and with a exacto knife cut the circle for the drain than pass the liner and place in the middle flip itbinto 4 not a perfect round like they did and start plasing the liner arround the pool one guy going left and the other going right streatch the liner if needed usuallu depends on the sunlight and place the bungy on it than you can put the tracks arround the pool and put the top plates once thats done one guy can finish with the drain use the knife again remove the scotch tape on the drain and the skimer drill it make sure the legs are straight before drilling the tops when you have 2 tops you can jump over to the other side when the drain is finished you can put the hose with scotch tape to fill the pool once you screwed every the only thing thats left is remove the shoft vac when theres enough water and put the thing that shoots water sideways forgot what its called in english. If you are nearby comeback for the shotvac but if the pool is far bring a pump with 2 totes to put enough water so you can leave with the shotvac. You can turn on the shot vac after you put the top tracks
You know we aren’t reading all that right?!
Stupidest puttin-in-a-pool song I ever heard. I couldn't take it any longer.
awesome one
I am doubt whether the water will resist for long time or not
there may be chances of collapsing
Good job fellas on building the pool but looked like you were struggling rolling out that wall. Coming from someone building above ground pools for 24 years, I'm gonna give you the best invention ever on rolling out a wall!!! A good old simple kids sit and spin!! Put your wall in middle of pool and you can roll it out one handed my man!
Joe Kroenung agreed. Been building above grounds for a few years now, in the middle is the best place, one unrolling one putting J beed and track on me putting wall into track

Hi Joe same here been building pools for 25 years. I will have to give that one a try. I build my own unit using two round pieces of aluminum connected by a heavy duty lazy Susan. It worked great for this past season so I patented it. Perhaps you'll see it in the next few years. But than again a sit and spin is so crafty and cheap, great Idea! cheers
Joe Kroenung hafaua
WHERE DO I GET THIS MATERIAL FOT A TECTANGULE POOL
What kind of dolly/cart is that being used?
We actually took a regular hand truck and had a 4ft steel rod welded to the base centered and towards the front.
that dude in the middle did 90% of the work. lol. he shoveled all the sand, tamped the whole thing, cut the sheeting stretched the liner. Video should say one man pool install with onlookers lol!! 😅
I used a backhoe for my pool.... I used my back to dig the hole 😂😂😂😂
I just picked up this same pool, used. Hoping all the pieces are with it. Any info on the manufacturer or finding a contractor to help?
Wow this is a lot more work than I expected. Now THIS will be a challenge
Me and my husband and sons put up ours after watching this video a lot of times, yes it was a lot of work but it was well worth it. I’ve had the pool up for almost 4 years now. And I absolutely love it. I look forward to every summer I spend a whole lot of time in it, and once you get the hang of the chemicals it’s easy to keep clean and clear.
@@bbsal4031 out of curiosity...how many days did it take yall?
@@nevada5305 let's see that was back in 2018, one day and Sand delivered and spread it out, put down the tracking, then unrolled the metal siding put it in, secured everything put in screws. The next day laid down foam padding on top sand, then foam edging, put inliner, tried our best to smooth out the wrinkles, then water. So couple of days. I still have it up in 2023, it is still beautiful.
@@bbsal4031 thats awesome to hear!...appreciate the info and the fast reply
@@nevada5305 I'm the third owner of this metal pool. I think they last a very long time. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do!
Who knew Jordan Peterson had a summer job. Nice work. Your videos (and life experience) have given me complete confidence that I can install my new pool, and build a deck on it too! Thanks Craig.
You can do it!
What is that foam stuff you used for the corners?
Coving.
