How to build a DIY concrete block pool
99,336
Published 2022-07-15
The cost breakdown was as follows: concrete blocks $2400 / dirt removal bins: $1800 / mini digger rental $300 / concrete for slab pour: $800 / plaster, mortar, waterproofing: $1600 / pump, skimmer, light & filter : $1800 / concrete mixer, tools & supplies: $1200 It was an expensive time to build as the costs soared during Covid and supply was scarce. We did however hear of a friend who had a quote of over $75,000 for the same size pool which seems crazy but it was a lot of work!

I really think the pool turned out absolutely amazing. How awesome to see that I was your inspiration. Enjoy! Greetings from the Netherlands from Nicole!

I built one about ten years ago. Only leak was a very slight one around the skimmer. Ours is half in/ half above ground. The above ground part is covered in limestone. I used plenty of rebar and filled all of the block with concrete. I applied Quik Crete Quick Wall inside and out before backfilling. We coated the inside with swimming pool epoxy. It is 8' X 12' and serves it's purpose perfectly. Something to jump in during the blazing summers in South Texas. And it all started with a giant hole caused by losing a big oak tree during Hurricane Dolly.

Hey Brian, awesome job. I’d love to recreate your success in my backyard. Maybe you could do an update video with little more details? It might be very helpful to those of us crazy enough to attempt this. Thank you.

Nice work, I believe I’m about to start digging a hole soon too. Any tips for buying the filter and pump?

I want to build a pool like this in my backyard in south west Florida. How did you handle building permits?

How did you get the water out of the pool after you used it to cure the plaster?

Hi there - we live in Alberta - cold winters - how cold does it get where you are and how is the pool holding up? Looking at starting this project..... ;)

What did the drainage hose do? (roughly 3:00) Thanks!

How did the white concrete coping turn out? Were you able to get them smooth or did they have a rough concrete texture? How did you make the forms?
