He was quoted $25,000 to build a pool… so he built his own for under $2,000 instead.
Using basic 4x6 boards, a pond liner, a sand filter, and a small pump, he created a simple above-ground pool with a water feature on the side. The whole thing cost him around $1,900 total, and his kids love it.
He even added a sand filter that can backwash itself, which keeps maintenance pretty easy.
Would you pay $25,000 for a pool, or try building something like this for under $2k?
