Hyperlapse of our full setup. Lots of digging! Way too many rocks.
DIY RC Seesaw
zhlédnutí 3,1KPřed 6 lety
I took an old pallet and broke it down along with some metal tubing and screws I had in the yard and built a seesaw. About a 55 degree angle and still needs a little tweaking but a good start.
That was awesome. That was some deep digging. Nice teamwork.
Finally a video that didn't use sand. I dont want to fool with it.
@@marciananton9226 it worked out fine. Just spend a little extra time checking for debris and use 2 tarps underneath.
Doesn’t digging a hole create a problem with water getting under the pool when it rains?
@wesmiller4643 it never caused a problem that we noticed. I think it would only cause an issue if the whole pool was below gound level but, ours is flush to the ground on the low side.
I'm in my sixties and my husband is almost sixty. We just picked up a 16 ft round, 48 inches deep pool. We have to do this plus add another 2 ft around for border around the pool. Not looking forward to all that leveling, we have a slope thats about 8 inches lower on two sides. Your family was amazing with all the help they gave you, love seeing everyone work together.
50 years later: this site is where we helped yur "grandpa" set the pool.
Video is still helping 4 years later. Picking up a 2x4 and some rebar tomorrow
Thats love right there
Id suggest to anyone who has a slope more than 6-8 inches. Id hire someone with a bobcat loader. ( Or rent one). To Get ya as level as possible. Then do the leveling board circle method to fine tune the area for perfect leveling..
I put a pool up 9 years ago and leveled it within a half inch. The spot was in a shady part of the yard. I chose the area because it was the most level part of my yard so I didn’t really have to dig. Just basically rounded the area with a level on a 2x4 There was no sod either just dirt. Pretty easy, done it in about 2 days by myself. Tomorrow I’m going to put up a bigger pool in the worst possible part of my yard full of grass uneven ground so I’m in for some major digging. I’m 53 so I imagine it’s going to kick my butt. Definitely not looking forward to it but it’s the only part of my yard that has full sunlight all day. After watching you do all that digging I’m second guessing myself? Wish me luck 😅
It was a ton of work but, ultimately worked out great. Good luck!
@@tonyholliday2347 I decided against the digging and just put it on the level spot, got it all done in about 6 hours today. It’s almost filled up with water as I’m typing this comment. Kudos to you and your family for all your hard work. I do have a question for you. How off was your level? Or did you get it perfect.
@ShinyKnife for sure not perfect but I'd say maybe an inch or two max difference.
@@tonyholliday2347 that’s about what I got, I thinks it’s about a inch off, In a couple of spots. But I did very little digging just basically put it where I had a pool 9 years ago. I cut the grass down to dirt and shoveled the high side a bit. Which turned out to cause it to be the low side lol. It’s not very noticeable. The pool will hardly be used anyway that’s why I took the other pool down.
Rent you a 13HP TILL! I had the same situation as you. My yard’s low spot was 8” lower than my high spot. I ran a fat old tiller through it, wife raked it out and bam. We got it leveled in about 3 hours. It was about $150 and some gas.
Yes, do it correct the first time, or you will be out there again. I PROMISE.😅
Why you dont put water in pump .else you can damage your pump
Why you dont put water in there else you can damage pump
Where’s the sound?
Mine was doing this and just crapped the bed.
Wow! Thanks for this example. I just got me a 20’ pool and about to level. I learn something else though, have the family help out when they can. Put me on check not to be so stress over nothing.. Thanks!!
I had a small 15’ round intex and I ended up putting a paver under each pole. My next pool will be professionally done but for a low cost easy to maintain pool these aren’t bad at all
Nice and easy!!
mine made that noise until it cracked by the outlet filter box
13:28 - That board does not look very straight or level. How well did your pool level out all around?
Your right it isn't a very straight board but, it was more of just an aide. I strapped a level to the end of it to double check. The pool came out very level.
How many inches is the edging
4 inches tall
Thank you !
im going to use a Sun Joe Garden Tiller im 60 female in Tx hot as H, no way i could do this n then i still have to take out the dirt but at least a tool to losen the dirt may take me a month gotta work too lol
so how round actualy for 20ft pool, 22ft i guess around leave some room
Mine 2 what shall i do ?
It's a bad motor. I had them replace it under warranty and the new one went out the following year with the same exact issue. These pumps are junk.
very bad motor omg it's stopped working 😡
When it's that bad off level digging is a waste by hand put sand down and build it up
Maybe true but it's free and sand is not.
Would you recommend adding sand on the bottom of pool? Or it doesn’t matter much?
What does anyone suggest putting around the edges of the dug out area on the deep side? Should I just leave it as is?? Our yard is extremely sloped, at least 1.5 ft so I wasn't sure if I should put something around the deep side to hold the edge.
I would get some retaining wall stones and build up the side. Should be CZcams videos how to do it.

Sound?
No sound. Couldn't find any music I liked to go with it.
Tiller and hard rakes...
A little bit of hard raking but, not tiller.
I AM this man right now. We look similar too, so he's a lucky guy since he got my looks 😍😂
Thank you for taking the time to make this video ! Very much appreciated ! The project was started without me there and now it’s a disaster and this gives me some hope I can fix what they’ve started lol
Hey! I'm from Family Handyman, and we saw one of your amazing videos. We'd love to share it with our fans! Send me a message for more info!

Question. Our site is on a slope. Would u recommend we start digging at the lowest point of the slope, or should we set the leveler at the highest point of the slope and dig until we are level with the low end? We started digging at the low end and now I'm worried we've ended up making it so we h ave to dig a few inches deeper at the deepest part of the slope. Worried. This project has been grueling as we are in AZ and the dirt is undiggable without constantly spraying with water. We've put in about 20 hrs of work and we are only about 1/3rd done.
We didn't have a leveler that could be used at the high side. We started on the low end and didn't really dig that part much. I'm by no means an expert and it took us 4-5 weekends and about 40hrs of dig time.
I thought I had read at one time that digging out the deeper side first and throwing that dirt into the lower side was the easiest way to do it, sort of killing two birds with one stone. Don't quote me right on this but this is how I'm doing mine right now and it seems to be going a lot better than if it was the opposite.
Thank you for posting. This is the best leveling video I've seen - straightforward with basic tools. Your family did WORK, holy crap, and I love that everyone got involved.
No problem. Glad you enjoyed it.
To anyone doing this by hand much respect. I am in the progress of leveling my yard alone 😂 it is all of the fun lol
Thank you. My husband and I gonna do the same in our backyard. Be blessed
Awful music
Hi there! Can you tell me all the tools you used here? Appreciate it!
Flat shovel, spade shovel, level, 10lb tamper, and a garden rake.
Ours doing it too after 1 month. What is it?
It ended up being a bad motor. They sent us a new one under warranty.
@@tonyholliday2347 thank you.
Awesome…. Thanks for the video!
Very nice!
👏👏👏👍
I had to rework the spot where my pool goes because I skipped last year's set up. I thought I had a lot of work to do. Just posted the videos of leveling and setting up the pool. I remember starting from scratch. This made me tired just watching you. Enjoyed watching it.
That's a lot of damn prep work for a pool designed to be taken down every fall
Very true. That's why we didn't take it down in the fall. We live in FL so no real winter.
@@tonyholliday2347 nice, im not looking forwarded to breaking mine down
A year later, how's the pool holding up? Have you had any issues with leaks? Great video and love the family teamwork!
Holding up great. No leaks.
@@tonyholliday2347 good to hear and thanks for the quick reply.
Thanks for this! Helped me!
Your son’s little excavator moved a lot of dirt! I’m thoroughly impressed!
Lol yeah big help having heavy machinery around.
Mines just started doing it too
