Ah nice vid. I'm thinking of getting one of these. UPDATE: I got one 2nd UPDATE: Enjoying it. The maintenance is much less than that of my neighbors who have gunite pools. Another pro is that the floor of the pool feels nice. Oh, and the PH of the water is really stable.

What kind of options would there be if you couldn't get heavy machines into the backyard? What works for small backyards?

I would have to see the lot, but if we have 8-10 feet we can get our normal stuff in, In the past we had only 6' and we used a smaller machine. In NYC they carry buckets of dirt out through the house. Crazy right! Congrat's on your new home, the right person will make it happen for you. Perfect example though where a fiberglass pool may be a challenge just because of the size. Not all pool types are right for every family.

I forgot to mention. A fiberglass pool may be carried like a suitcase, so you don't need the width of the pool for your path, just the depth. For example, a 15' x 30' pool with a depth of 6' could pass through a 7' wide opening as long as you had the height to pick it up and leaving a little clearance. I have friends that crane pools over the house every time, not me, I've always found a way around. The day will come....

How much did this cost when all was said and done?
If someone wants to save money, can they opt to fill it with the garden hose, even if this adds time for you to come back? Not sure what the Surcharge would be to have a truck come and fill it costs per gallon vs hose?
@AlbertGroup
3 жыл бұрын
No, we need the water to come in fast so we can backfill at the same time. The cost is negligible, roughly $300 per truck. Time is the most valuable thing we have, and one of the few things you can never get back.

@@AlbertGroup , really appreciate your prompt reply; your videos are extremely educational. I'm getting _really nervous_ because I have a pool going in my backyard in 2½ months and my pool guy recently said he uses flex PVC, “Tiger Flex”, and says everyone uses flex underground; I don't think it's _technically_ Schedule 40 PVC. You work in a Winter climate and use rigid. I'm now finding that many pool contractors will not use flex (anymore). I'm quickly not liking the situation I'm in!

@@AlbertGroup , Toronto, Canada region. I'm also considering something that I think is important but probably surprising to many: health quality of the pipe. Rigid PVC is used for water mains and is rated for potable water (e.g., NSF-pw); there's no such thing as a drinking-quality-safe _soft_ plastic, including “flex PVC” _tubing._

Just out of curiosity, doesn't the frp swimming pool bulge after the water is put in it without the support from the side walls? What is the thickness of the frp swimming pool? Looks like 10mm at the top.
@AlbertGroup

The biggest benefit of fiberglass is that it is flexible, the biggest Achilles Heel of fiberglass is that it is flexible. You are 100% correct that the shell needs support, that is why water and backfill are added together in a certain way as to not deform the shell. The shell is somewhere around 1/4" thick or maybe a little more. The crazy thing is that the buried fiberglass storage tanks for the oil fields are thinner. They bulk up pools unnecessarily for client perception. The oil fields have engineers on staff that know what is required, but homeowners want to see thicker. If a shell becomes too thick it has a tendency to not flex anymore and crack easier. This is especially true for the gelcoat thickness.
