INTEX ABOVE GROUND POOL | New Pool Deck, Pool Ladder, and Patio Umbrellas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Thanks to all of our INTEX Pool video visitors this past year. We are very appreciative of your feedback and support and especially for those who have subscribed to our channel. Thank you!!!
In this video, we will show you some updates that we have made in the last two weeks of May 2020 with our landscaping improvements based on lessons learned, new creative ideas and we will talks about some cushy extras that we added onto our pool and the perimeter and even a new 8' x 12' pool deck that was just installed.
We won't stop here, our creative minds are already churning up new design ideas to improve our summer sanctuary so stay tuned for our future pool life videos.
P.s. Regarding our local strays as mentioned in the video. Yes, it's my fault, some of those cats I mentioned I consider my own adoptive wild babies and I will protect them so I did not mean to sound mean. They are spoiled but we plan to keep them away from our pool with many new ideas. (another video) lol.

Lovely! Sure makes the above ground pool look amazing. We are going to use your ideas for our Intex pool. With covid, nice to have this at home.
Yes and we have since stained that deck. Stay tuned our landscaping is always changing. LOL
You can bury moth ball every few feet like an inch down it's supposed to help :)
Thanks for the suggestion. I did go over that and I did some articles related to that topic and I see a lot of opinions saying to don't go there. I don't have any cats around anymore thank goodness. they have all been rescued. The mosquitos seem to be under control with the eucalyptus plants.
I'm in love with your entire backyard
Oh, thank you. It is always changing....you would not believe how much it's changed since that video. It's all rocks, pavers and the deck is painted, and we have a privacy pool fence built right up against the pool. We also have a nice table over by the deck stairs and we have 5 umbrellas now. At night this season our pool is lit up all in purple string lights, and we have purple solar flowers and purple flame like solar lights. 💜 thanks for watching.
love what you did with pool. I had 15 x 48 last year upgraded to 22 x52 this year, thought of putting down mulch but your statement about cats etc made me change my mind putting down stone instead.
Nice! In the beginning we talked about only getting a 12 which turned into a 14 which was returned for the 18 and then yes we talk about the 22 but we thought we will probably move so we will wait. Yes, the cats made a mess of the mulch! you can still put some rubber mulch around the first few inches to keep the rugs from the edges of the liner, but really we haven't had any problems that most people fear with putting those rocks down. I am always cleaning the area and grooming everything around the pool so I keep a watchful eye!
The pool, yard, deck look great! We are in Richmond VA, put up a 22ft Coleman this summer. Just got the deck on it this weekend. Loving it!
Oh wowza! Sounds fabulous! I am so happy for you. It is just in time with this heat! Thanks for watching and liking the set up. We plan to stain the deck but the paint guy said it is best to wait a full 8 weeks. 22 feet is huge. I know you ate going to be so happy. Is it saltwater?
Very nice setup, I just purchased this pool, should be here this weekend!
Congrats! and thank you! It's fairly simple to set up the most challenging things were to Get the pavers level from paver to paver and the exact distance 28" and also when the pools filling up continuing to make sure that all the wrinkles are out on the bottom because once you get too much water in there you're gonna be stuck with the wrinkles.
Please do a video on how you prep for winter? Greetings from Minnesota
We will do one at the end of this season. For now, I can tell you we purchased a winter pool cover that came with a heavy duty wire strap that was covered in a durable protective coating and it also included ratchet style tool to lock the cover on tight. We also purchased a winter pillow that you blow up and tie with four strings to your pool that goes on the surface of the pool under the winter cover after draining a little bit of water below the outlet. We bought a winter pill off Amazon. You puncture it and throw it in the pool. which gradually releases winterizing chemicals into the water all winter and lastly we purchased the pool wrap (like saran wrap) this help tremendously with vicious rains and winds and kept everything snug. When we took off the cover, we were shocked at how clean and clear the water was. Happy too. It's an intial investment but we have everything we need now for next winter with the exception of a new winter pill.
Thank so much :)
New Sub since this is the third video of yours I've enjoyed. We are brand new pool owners. Great content, thank you.
more videos to come, we like trying new things, adding accessories etc....it's addictive!!!
Great tips with the mulch and stray cats
Great job and thanks for all the good ideas.
Thank you so much! some landscaping areas have already changrd since this video. The entire pool life is addictive. lol
Btw also like the PVC pipe idea for umbrella. Mine kept blowing over.......
Yes and if you notice there was another subscriber who mentioned drilling a hole in the base about 2 inches up and placing a screw and bolt through it so you can keep your umbrellas a little higher so that when you are putting them up and down you will not have to lift them up about 4 inches to roll them back up or down.
Grandioso y feliz verano saludos desde New York 💯🇭🇳🇭🇳🇭🇳
You Too!
I JUST noticed you reside in Chesapeake, as do we. So now it’s even MORE important to me finding your tips about the mulch and stray cats . 💕❤️ hi neighbor 😀
Ha Ha. Sure anytime you want come by and take a look in person let me know. It's a constant creative process. Ideas churning in my head all the time.
Mover and Shaker same here! Ideas changing often . 😁
Looks absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Thank you! Our pool landscape area is always improving. We constantly have new ideas. We probably didn't need that big of a deck for just us 2 however from what I have heard, it was a steal so I am good with that. I am in the process of removing that thinner strip of remaining rubber mulch, it has just been too frustrating because it gets mixed up and spread into the rocks as well as filled with pinestraw and other tree objects It has just been too much work and I would no longer recommend it.
Wish I could give more than one thumbs up. This is fabulous!
Gorgeous set up! You have inspired me on how I’m hoping to set my pool up. We currently rent so I can’t do anything to major but I love love love yours!
Oh Thank you. It all started with a small blow up pool that I had in my backyard last June. I had so much fun laying out in it, I wanted a bigger one so I started thinking a 12' would work which then became a 14' and I ordered it, returned it and purchased the 18'. We set that up in the 2nd week of July because we had to wait for Permits so you can tell in just about month and a half of last year and a month this year we came a seriously long way. It's absolutely addictive and you find it hard to stop adding on to make it better. LOL I hope you have something set up soon and that you have a blast this summer. I haven't been in the pool yet. Too cold for me. Water still in the mid 70's but I am laying out beside the pool and allowing my husband to splash water on me. LOL I think next week we will put the solar cover on overnight and get in around noon. It should be like a hot tub lol. Good Luck.
Mover and Shaker you’re most welcome! Yeah you definitely have came along way in a short amount of time. We are looking at buying a house but I’m not sure how soon so we may be here this entire summer. If that’s the case I’m definitely putting it up sooner rather then later. Haha , I bet even laying out next to it is nice as well. keep up the videos coming!! I love seeing what y’all are doin.
@@missydawn5679 Yes, I have another video coming on the Intex Pool Cleaner which most people call a vacuum and one video on the Intex Pool Seat and were moving to SALT so we are going to have a Salt Chlorinator set up video, etc... etc... Good Idea on buying a home, make sure you have enough room in the backyard for tables, lounge chairs and the pool. Buying is so much better than renting. I rented until I was 38 yrs old and our mortgage payment is now cheaper than any rent around our area period and we have a HUGE Backyard and we only needed 3 bedrooms 2 baths. It will all be worth it in the end. Yes don't delay on a pool set up if you are planning on staying there another year or two.
"The munchie area". Love that reference!
Thank you. The munchie area has now been made into a oval shaped bed of rocks with pavers outlining it. lol
Great pool. All you need now is a jacuzzi!! : )
You are so right and believe me, I had already considered an Intex one but we have too many neighborhood cats and I was thinking what if their claws are really sharp and they decide to jump on top of it at night to sleep on it...All that money down the drain.
I have cats of my own. I bought an intex jacuzzi and put it inside a zipper tent canopy. It looks great and cats don't go in : )
oh nice idea!!! Thanks
Hello! I'm really enjoying your videos! Great ideas! I was wondering if you remember about how may bags of rocks it took to fill in the area around your pool!
Well so many things have changed since the 1st Time we put rocks down we've put more and more rocks down.lol In the beginning though I think it was at least it's 20 to 25 bags of the river rocks. I think we purchased those from Lowe's. They were pretty cheap too. It's just a pain to pick him up put him in your car pick him backup drop him off and then pick him backup to lay him out so It's a workout to say the least
Everything looks nice and neat.
oh thank you and things will change anytime we are out there. LOL just keep watching when we post you will notice things popping up here and there that weren't there before. LOL
@@MoverandShaker cant wait to see. I just install mine pool Saturday. Now I want to have a backyard just like yours lol.
Great video. I purchased the same pool and filling up this weekend. What size diameter is the PVC pipe?
We are so sorry for the delay in returning your message, somehow we passed your question. It is a 2" pipe if it's not too late. Our pool and landscape has dramatically changed since that video. We do remove those pipes every fall/winter and store them in our storage shed. The spray paint can chip easily so it's best to remove them when you cover your pool up. Unless you live in a climate where your pool is up year long.
Beautiful Job!!
Thank you so much!!! It's always changing. Always improving and trying to come up with more creative ideas.
Hi Hope your hubby is doing well and you as well. Still filling this pool 3 days later LOL. Could you tell me if you know how much rock you bought to go around your pool. Did you buy it by the bag??
If you saw a recent picture of our pool you would laugh we have added so much more rock than what we have previously documented it's an addiction and yes we buy it by the bag every time we finish a rock project we get another idea for more rock and it continues The hub is doing well he is not allowed to go in the pool for another 4 weeks however we've been working on some serious improvements yes improvements and we have 2 videos coming up soon. I could only guess to make that in the beginning we use 4 bags for every side of the pool before we had the deck We bought our rock at Lowe's.
How's your skimmer doing, I did that to mine this year. Thank you for sharing about your skimmer, I would have never thought about that. I had the skimmer last year
The skimmer is doing fabulous. We love our skimmer. It is so satisfying seeing all that stuff roll in there! including tanning lotions. Thanks for watching!
Love the new pool deck, we might have to look into investing in one ourselves next year. I would lose your " munchie area and add a second set of steps to your house deck, it would make access into your pool so much easier.
Yes, our munchie area is still being updated as we speak, however, there were very specific reasons why we did not attach steps to the deck. For one our city requires another locking gate and alarm system on your door to your house if you do that, and in addition, we plan to rebuild our deck in the future if we decide to stay. It' over 20 years old. I also prefer all traffic from the pool to go into the garage before entering the house. Just a personal preference but my husband felt exactly like you did in the beginning with that idea.
Omg I love it 🥰 did you guys hire someone for the decking ?
Yes that's an 8 by 12 and it cost us 1680 looking back on it now we probably could have been fine with just a 4 by 8 we don't even use that entire deck but it's nice yes indeed we stained it which you'll see in the future video
Hi there!! I liked your pool and your yard is very nicely maintained, but I noticed that you have to do a few things every night, like disconnecting your pool pump, what you can do is turning the outlet side ways so the cord opening is down and the cord of the pump put it under ground and also the pump has a timer that you can set it like for 6 or 8 hours a day and just leave it and the pump will turn on every day at the same time that you set it unless that the electricity goes out then you just reset it again . Other than that everything is very nice. Thank you and God bless you.
Our electrical outlet is already sideways however there's a cover over it that closes when it rains and there's no way to plug in both the saltwater system and the pump and close the cover I do like the idea of the cord being underground but the distance between the pump in the wall is so short that is the cords did go underground they would have to be doubled up somehow but thanks for the ideas a lot of the reasons why we don't let the pump turn on by itself is due to weather any time it's going to rain everything is wrapped up and covered up we've been looking to build something to go around the pump and at the same time we've looked at other options that aren't handcrafted thank you for the suggestions were always trying to make things better and easier how you put some ideas in my head.😁
@@MoverandShaker ok this is what you can ,this is what I did to mine, get a like a two or three feet extension cord with a three plug this you are going to connect to your outlet and then get a square bucket like from detergent!🤔 and this bucket cut one side and put it over or around your outlet this is going to be the roof to protect your plugs, right under the bucket put a piece of 4x4 post to seat the three plug connector and make sure to secure it with a clamp. This is the way I have mine connected I have a water fountain, a robotic pool cleaner and the pool pump!!🙂🙂🙂🙂 I hope this helps you.
And don't forget to put silicon around the plastic bucket!!
We already have the three plug pigtail. (2 of them) We will look into your idea. It sounds doable for sure. Thanks for the details!
Would you mind sending me a photo of yours so I can get a visual send it if you can 2 moverandShaker10@ gmail.com
Nice yard and pool great job. We have a Intex 12ft X 30in Prism Frame Pool right now but want to upgrade to this pool not sure maybe next year as I have a 6 year old and a still a little nervous with her in the pool. Where did you buy your pool? and what time of year. The prices are crazy. I have seen some people pay $500 and now they are like $1500. Thanks for the videos. Please post a new 1 this year with how you open your pool to see what chemicals you use. :) Doreen in MA.
Hi Doreen, Thank you for the yard compliments. It and the pool landscaping is always changing! There is already two things that have changed that are different but I will leave that for the future videos.
I understand wanting to upgrade to a larger size. When we first decided to get a pool it was planned to be a 12 x 48 and then we ordered a 14 x 48 and returned it and purchased the 18 x 52! It all came from Amazon. If you look in our original pool video (the very first one)ua-cam.com/video/hny3GCrtric/v-deo.html you should see the link for the pool in case you want to look at the current price for that one.
We purchased our pool in 2019 July. The reason for the prices going up is none other than COVID and so many people working from home and being couped up at home in the last year. The prices started to skyrocket in March of last year. The prices for anything that is used in or around a pool went through the roof. We switched from a chemical pool to saltwater pool last year and we will never go back to chemicals because there was only one time last year where we had to put one chemical in the pool to make the water from green to blue but the rest of the summer was maintenance free with the exception of adding salt. We will do a video to open our salt pool though.
@@MoverandShaker Thank you for responding to my question. I know what you mean about the prices. If I didn't order my pool that day we never would have got 1. Couldn't even get a solar cover for it any where. Maybe next year will be better and my little one will be 7. Still trying to teach her to swim but I love your pool and that's the 1 I want. Find me on FB. I would love to stay in contact. Take care 🙂 ❤
@@doreenmunroe6249 I can tell you based on my pool video comments and / or questions and traffic, pool purchasing/setting up pools is picking up now. You better plan to purchase your items sooner than later! We sold our solar cover. We felt it was more of hassel not just putting it on and off but keeping it clean, drying both sides of it and storing it. The ants were all over it too for some reason. If the pool water is cooler, then I will just wear some type of athletic clothing built for water until I warm up. LOL As soon as we set up our 18ft we were talking 22 ft. LOL. I still have fun going under water with some fins and swimming across for some exercise for that 18ft.
@@MoverandShaker I know what you mean. I thought by now the prices would have dropped some. I think your pool is the perfect size and it looks so sturdy. Let me know how to find you on Ebay I'll check out what you have for sale. Keep in touch would love a friend to chat. No friends or family out here for me just a 5 year old LOL.
Hi there! Love the setup. I want those adjustable lawn chairs! I’ve been hunting Home Depot online for them with no luck! Also let me know how the citronella plants work out. We have tikis with citronella fuel in it.
It's funny that you mention you can't find them because I originally found them online went to the store had trouble finding them there but they were sitting outside at the exit after you would pay for your merchandise anyhow the other day I was looking for them again and I couldn't find them if I do I'll let you know maybe they sold out or maybe it was temporary I might have a receipt that has a brand name on it.
We have the tiki torches too just haven't put them up yet. We just started getting little beetles in the pool too. yuk
p.s. I just found them on home depot. type in PATIO CHASE LOUNGE in WHITE
205364115 is the internet i.d.
Great setup! we are installing our intex 18x 48 this week but my question is, I see you have pavers under the legs. How do you prevent the pavers from destroying/puncturing the pool once the water is in?
The legs aren't centered on the pavers in the middle they were closer to the center back Edge in addition there is the ground cloth that comes with a pool that gets tucked underneath as well. In the end we had to go around with a 6-foot level every two bricks and make sure they were level some ended up actually lower or higher but in reality they were all level if that makes sense but they didn't touch the pool so as the pool is filling up your continuously making adjustments because you will start to feel and hear the legs moving so once you're at the point where you can't make any more adjustments that's when you would do your last-minute fine-tuning basically you have to Nuke it out from start to finish until that water starts to fill up. The pool curves at the bottom and the pavers aren't close enough to puncture them.
Mover and Shaker got it! Thank you for responding
Great video! Is the $1650 for the deck installed or is that just materials? And did you install yourself or hire someone? Its a beautiful setup 👍🏻
Thanks very much. Actually that was for everything materials and labor took them a few days four hours a day.
It was a local contractor.
We just bought a nice ladder for in the pool too but now I’m suddenly realizing I don’t know how to cover the pool when I need to. Do you use a pool cover now that you got this ladder and if so, how?
Our ladder pops right out of the two mounted squares anytime you would need to remove it, however if it didn't I would probably cover it as best as I could. Perhaps you could find a mounting option for your ladder that would replicate ours using items from the big box hardware stores or even custom wood inserts.
Thanks for sharing your set up it’s beautiful made us get our first pool we live in southern Maryland can you share the name and number of the contractor that build the deck we would love to get a 6x6 thanks
Thank you so much and congrats on your new pool. Feel free to watch any other pool videos in our collection that you may need assistance with and let us know if you have any questions.
We are in Chesapeake, VA not Maryland. Our contractor is doing work local to this area. He lives in the same city. zip 23320. did you think we were in Chesapeake, MD?
Hi, love your videos! How did you protect your pool liner from the blocks you put under the legs?
We had a five inch wide strip of rubber mulch between the liner's edge and the stones but in most places the stones are under ground or level with the surface of the ground and in addition the legs come out from the liner several inches. There is not on single stone that is even close to touching the liner. We also used the back 3rd of each stone to position each leg on. Overall that was not a concern for us for our pool set up. Our biggest concern was making sure the ground was perfectly level and getting all wrinkles out of the liner.
Thank you! 😁
where did you get the lights around the pool? we get our pool next week 18x52 xtr intex!! I sure wish i was local, because i really want a deck like that.
Hi Clifton. Here is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GBPFD46/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The deck cost $1650 material and labor but looking back we really didn't need all of that space 8 x 12 . I think a 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 would be sufficient. Congrats on getting your new pool.
Absolutely beautiful. Did you guys upgrade to a sand salt filter? If you haven't- consider it
Thank you. We were headed that way for potentially next summer but we've watched a couple videos where people insist that the sand filter will cause this pool to rust faster in terms of the frame so we kind of stepped back and wondered what's the right thing to do
@@MoverandShaker ahh..if you spray or paint the post and cross bar with Rustoleum that should take care of rusting..
@@rhdtv2002 hmmm now that is an idea.
Where did you get the latter at.I need one
Where/When did you order, and how much was it? the prices on this model are crazy right now, I'm waiting until they come down before we pull the trigger
The prices will probably not come down anytime soon. I bought mine in June 14th 2019 for $1099 (Ultra XTR pool, ladder and pump, combo package) and by the end of July it was on sale for $899. I purchased it off Amazon from a storefront call VMEXPRESS. The best thing I can suggest is to find one for sale in your local area. People get rid of them when they move or relocate. A second hand one is better than waiting. Now two weeks before I bought that one, I did buy a regular model Intex (not XTR) 14 x 48 and I returned it. That was $249.00 big difference. All in all I think any price anyone pays is worth it. It really does pay it all back in good times, fun and relaxtion not to mention therapeutic too.
Jeremy Clark we live in Chicago and got lucky after holding out for a few weeks a Meijer store near us had 15×48 but i wanted a 16×48 which is the biggest we could get in our yard my wife almost gave in but last week the 16 came in just keep checking ours is the intex xtr elite 16×48
We paid 599
It's crazy how expensive they selling then right now. For that reason I was checking offer up 5 mile and Facebook for used ones. And finally just bought a intex 14x42 of off offer up for 200dls its use but If ill last this season or 2 I'll be worth the money spend.
@@myuploadsvideos Nice !!!! Congrats. Imagine being a dealer this is the ultimate time not just because of Summer approaching but because so many people are stuck at home. This is what everyone needs though. Pool Therapy. Stress relief! Well good luck setting everything up!!!
How do you keep the water from being ice cold.
Well, we haven't been in our pool yet. Normally we would have already been in the pool by 1 June. There are various solar heaters out on the market that only raise the temperature between seven and ten degrees. They all have fifty fifty reviews. You just have to be patient and wait. They do make shirts usually in. These sporting goods stores that are for cold water and winds And they make them for all sizes. That might help you for the first week. Or so
Where did you get the umbrellas?
At home (the store)
What’s the solar floating thing in the pool
That is the Intex Solar light. It has several different colors but we like the white. amzn.to/3SMnDxu
Hi friend well just bit the bullet and bought the 18x52 intex ultra xtr pool. We plan on upgrading the sand filter. Could you tell me what size filter system you use and the brand
I apologize for the delay my better half was having some unexpected medical issues this month. The pump we purchased was here amzn.to/36F72Xm but it appears Amazon has really sold out of these fast. I would google the model number but I am sure you already purchased one by now.
@@MoverandShaker OH GEE I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't get on here much with having a 7 year old. I hope your husband is feeling better
Is it the citronella plants working ? Here in FL mosquitos are killers
They must be because I haven't had any issues with mosquitos anywhere. The only bugs around are beetles. Mosquitoes love me so, so far so good! They've grown really tall. I only have two so those are doing the job!
Thank you , I will try them 👍
Do you have something in the bottom of the pipes holding the umbrellas? What holds the post high enough to use the handle?
No, the pipe and the umbrella are sitting on the paver. When we need to put them up or down we simply raise it up one to two inches to lower or raise. I guess you could drill a hole in the bottom of the pipe about two inches and place a screw and a bolt through it so that it stays up higher illeviating having to do it all the time. Thanks for bringing up it up. I think I just found an improvement thanks to you. I will have to give you credit if we incorporate that in any upcoming videos.
@@MoverandShaker, thanks. I think I'll raise it a bit after using without last year. ;-)
So what I ended up doing was putting a cap on the bottom of the pvc pipe with a few holes drilled for drainage and adding a few inches of small gravel in the bottom. Works pretty well so far!
Sounds good we used your idea and put the bolt through our pipes and the water drains right out onto the concrete pavers.
Hi could you leave the item # for the lights. Thanks
Thank you here is the link amzn.to/3A82Iu8
About how many bags of rocks did it take?
13 @ 3.28 each.
How do you get your umbrellas to stay and not blow off? I haven't finished the video yet so apologize if you mention it in the video
How does the PVC pipe keep it from blowing off? I have mine ziptied down pretty good and its always blowing off
The zip ties we use are heavy duty are tied at the top and the bottom and they just don't move.
see below
Bonjour c du bon boulot c quoi la dimension de la picine SVP👍👍👍
The size of the Pool is 18" wide x 52" Tall It holds 6981 total gallons.
Is this expensive to maintain?
At the beginning of each season, you have to buy a couple more bags of salt. Then it's good to get a sample of your water. So you can take it to the pool store at that time. They might try to give you a product or 2 as a recommendation, and they will give you a print out of what your pool needs. Once you follow the step by step instructions, you're pretty much set for the rest of the season. And it is so nice. There was one season where we had excessive rain, so we had to buy another bag of salt.
Did you build your deck
No we didn't. We did take pictures from the very 1st piece of wood all the way through so I guess we could do it if we ever wanted to in the future but we didn't know how to build a deck. Are you related to gidget dee cindy or steven rock?
moth balls will keep the cats away!
so you run an extension cord for your pump & don't have any issues? that's what we are going to have to do.
Oh no I can't stand the smell of moth balls but thanks for the suggestion. We are using orange peels so far and it is working and then we purchased some scat mats for cats to put on the bottom step of the desk. It just startles them away. Since I decreased the mulch width, the cats are no longer going to he bathroom because there is not enough room for them to do that. LOL I don't run an extension cord at all. The pump is about 15 ft away but we have a plenty more cord to spare, (25ft).
ashley _projects I use an extension cord and I don’t have issues. I keep a plastic container over where the extension cord and cord to the pump meet. During the day I take it off (if it’s not raining) and I night I cover it (in case it rains).
@@juliannemurrah thank you!!
We are working on installing our intex pool in the next couple of weeks. Did you use the sand filter your first year having the pool, or buy a different one?
We received the cartridge filter pump in the INTEX pool box. Sold it outright on Offer up and Sold the filter cartridges on eBay and got the sand pump a 2100 GPH on AMAZON and at the end of the year my husband wanted a bigger one so he bought a new one a 3000 GPH. The old one worked fine he just wanted more power. He is that kind of guy. lol We are considering SALT Water addition next summer but have seen videos that show that salt water pumps erode these pool frames. Not sure yet about that.
Mover and Shaker thank you! Ours comes with a sand pump so I just wanted to make sure that you liked the sand pump. We have the 22x52 ft pool. We are waiting for utilities to come mark lines before we rent a sod cutter like you guys did in your installation video. We enjoy the way you have made the pool look aesthetically and want to do the same!
@@goodtimeswiththegoodrums3019 Yes we didn't have any problem with the sand pump at all It worked perfectly fine, he just always wants more. Thanks for the compliments on our installation video. One thing we had to do still though despite having the ground leveled so intensley was to make sure with a 6 ft level that we checked every two blocks and made sure every single stone was reading level all the way around the pool We did have to make some adjustments.
We are working on more ideas too. I tell you it's addictive. Also, NICE on the 22 x 52 Sounds fantastic. We originally were going to get a 12 ordered a 14 returned it and got the 18 and sure we talked about a 22 but it's just us with an occasional couple of visitors no huge crowds. Best of luck!
@@MoverandShaker your videos are so helpful we put up our intex 16×48 xtr ultra pool this past Saturday i filled it half way but didn't like the way the liner looked around bottom edge i placed pavers on top of the leveled yard for each upright but that extra 1 1/2 thickness of paver on top of soil raised the top rail and created a pulling look at bottom in spots so i began draining it yesterday and im going to drop the pavers down even with the ground and go off the first paver and level one from the other as you did i thought having the pavers on top of ground would've worked but live and learn got to get it done right going to be 87 here in Chicago Sunday your set up is beautiful the deck and landscape look amazing the sand filter came with ours so i can't wait to try it DID YOU PURCHASE A VACCUUM?
@@iamkazie9401 I have three videos to put up. Intex pool cleaner, Intex pool maintenance kit (manual vac) and Pentair Lil'Shark working on those now.
I can tell you that out of all three we decided to sell the Intex Pool cleaner. It works but not like the other two do! Much Better results.
How many bags of rock did you use?
Each corner area is about 3 bags of rocks (9) except for the pump area. The 4 sides were about 1-1/2 bags each (6) - Probably no more than 15
If you decide you want rocks, if you have a quarry near by and a trailer, try there. We just finished our pool surround today , it's an 18' round Coleman pool, we got 5/8" river rocks to fully surround it, approx 1.5 foot around and we paid $10.50 for all. We used 5 gallon buckets to transport and self loaded.

@@RooRooRay Yes we wouldn't mind having some bigger rocks in our area where we lay out and eat. Sounds great Congratulations!!!!!
What size pool is this?
Hi there! It is an 18' x 52" and it the INTEX ULTRA XTR model. I purchased it last July from a seller call VMEXPRESS off of AMAZON.
I want one but too expensive
Did you mean the cost of the deck? You can get a smaller one for probably half the price. Just steps and maybe a 6 x 6
Where are you from?
Virginia Beach, VA
In which color do you have the pool?
If your talking about the exterior of the pool itself, it's gray.
@@MoverandShaker thank you sooo much! i got so confused because many people said they bought it in grey but it still looked different in the videos
Gotcha!!
C'est quoi ces pub de mer** toutes les 30 secondes ? Je regarde pas jusqu'au bout désolé..
How do you keep the water cold?
I don't have that problem. My water is not warm enough yet. It says 80 but feels like 70 - I mean we do have two umbrellas so you could keep part of your pool water cooler like that by blocking the sun.
