Build your own pool – Masonry walls with reinforcement | Set formwork stones
The plans for the construction of our new pool in the garden were finalized and the construction of the pool could continue with the masonry of the pool walls. This step was not particularly complicated, but it was much more time-consuming to implement. This time the pool was built from solid stones. Of course, these had to be carried to the construction site first. Of course, the formwork blocks also had to be cut and adjusted before installation. In the following article, I describe how we implemented all of this to build our new pool in the garden.

Plan your own pool and create a 3D floor plan
The layout for our new pool was partially predetermined by the retaining walls of the old oval steel wall pool. However, some adjustments were still possible and also necessary. The new pool in our garden was definitely going to have steps and a seating platform in the water was also planned.

And what tools could I use to…

Converting a pool – dismantling an old steel wall pool
Our steel wall pool is already a few years old. The oval pool has a size of 6.23 x 3.60 x 1.5 meters.

On the sides, 2 walls of concrete formwork support the sides of the pool. I had shuttered the curves and also filled them with concrete. This pool is now being dismantled. I am building a new pool from concrete formwork blocks at this point. In this article, I write about the removal of the old steel wall. I…
