How we built a pool at our summer cottage in three days: description, prices, photo report
Is the pool on the site an attribute of wealthy houses? Not at all! If you want to dive into the water right in your backyard, you can build a pool in three days. Participant FORUMHOUSE under the nickname Vodolazzz shared her experience of such work. What came of this - we look and read on.
How did the idea to dig the pool come about?
As usual it happens according to the calendar - hot summer comes. And our old 3-meter pool suddenly became too small for children. With money, the matter was as usual: again it was over. Well, this did not stop us and we decided to build a pool on the site, larger than the previous one.
The first day
On the first day we hired a tractor to dig the boulders for two and a half hours. It came out to us at 3,500 rubles. Then we (my husband and I), with a rake, shovels and our own laboring hands, finished what we had begun with a tractor: we threw and leveled the ground, removed stones. Aligned with all their might. Volosovsky district of Leningrad Region is land and stones, stones and earth. Well, you get me ...
Second day
On the second day, we covered everything with roofing material. It took 5 rolls, and the money came out in 2,200 rubles. Then we quickly found on the Internet and bought in one specialized store in St. rubles. On this the second day of construction of the century ended.
Third day
On the third day, the film was laid. This was very difficult. First, they spread it out in a clearing, folded it for convenience, dragged it into the pit, and somehow straightened it out. The film is dense, heavy, huge, but there is nowhere to retreat - we did it.
But as soon as they finished laying, they turned on the water - a thunderstorm immediately began and we remembered about the sides, or rather, about their absence. We found a way out: rushed to the nearest sawmill and bought 35 bags of sawdust at 20 rubles per bag. Done, there are sides!
The water from the well, ice cold, was collected for exactly one day. After filling the pool, the water warmed up a little and the children tried out the new thing - they were delighted. But there is a problem: everything looks like a budget. Now we want to refine this business, but I don’t know how.
If you have experience in arranging a pool of this kind, advise our heroine how to make it presentable.
Would you make such a pool on the site or leave space for a couple of extra beds? Write in the comments!
