- Welcome to the third video in a short series of videos showing how I am transforming my garden with the addition of a small DIY swimming pool and patio area. This episode shows pool base preparation so it’s ready for pool base installation.

A UA-cam series I’ve been waiting for - looking forward to watching this to decide if I should do the same :)
Thanks James.. Unsure how long it will take to complete. Steel arriving Monday!
Been wanting to try this project out myself. Better you than me, best of luck and thanks for sharing your journey!
This is fantastic!
Hehe thanks Dave!
Good prepress……looks like it’s schtum and getting technical! Biodiversity too ha 🐸 Looking good Rich 🙌🏼
Great details clear instructions
How are you going to stop the sides caving in as you move forward ?
@@martinblackwell195 I'm going to cover them with a sheet of DPM to stop the rain from getting to them. Hopefully that'll stop it!
Great video’s. What size are the nudura blocks and how much are they please?
Thank you
Hi, the blocks are about 2400 L x 457mm H x 337mm depth. Around £2600 for the blocks and clips. It would be cheaper to do it using the method in my previous pool. But the insulation properties of this method should make it substantially cheaper to heat!
Would these block be ok if the external water table rose to above the bottom of the pool?
Good question. On my first pool and this pool i was fortunate enough to have well draining soil. Moreso on the last pool. The blocks would be fine. But I guess the structural engineer would need to specify thickness and reinforcement to suit. You'd probably need to tank the outside somehow as well. And install a hydrostatic release valve to stop the pool from turning into a boat. Which does happen!
