diy concrete pool
 
had a few prices to install a 12mtr x 6 mtr concrete pool 2.2mtrs deep to 1.1mtrs deep,looking at 35k [no fence]
so i thought i would self build,so far the holes been dug and the steel is going in this weekend,after that the relevant trades will be coming in to spray and shape it, then pebble crete it,
the total cost including 140,000 ltrs of water,36" sand filter,big salt chlorinator,500ltrs per minute pump, pipe work,skimmer boxes,pavers and electrics comes in at 19k,

Good price. don't forgot to put stubs in for solar heating in case you decide to go for it at a later date.
