Has anyone here built their own pool?
I am building my own PPOR soon on 3/4 acre block and we are looking at options for a pool. We ideally would like a "tropical" pool, not one with straight lines. With a bali hut type setup overhanging, fake rock waterfall, tropical plants etc.
We have been to a couple of pool places and been put off by the slimy salesman making out that pools are hard to do. Also the prices are horendous for concrete pools and we thought, how hard can it be? Is it just one of those things that sounds hard, but really isnt if you get the right trades and engineers? We considering a fiberglass pool at one stage as well. Ive also looked into building a concrete pool with ICF's (insulated concrete forms)namely Zeego
Our block has alot of clay soil and plenty of access.
I just wanted to know if there is anyone on SS who has built their own pool, concrete or fiberglass and if so how hard was it, would you do it again, how much did you save etc?
