- Thanks for watching!!! This is a hyperlapse video I took of us setting up our new Intext XTR Ultra Frame Above Ground Pool. Total set-up time was roughly 60 minutes. Took about 10 hours to fill using 2 water hoses. 18'x52" Intex Ultra XTR Above Ground Pool

Not sure why this ended up in my feed but damn that was fun watching!
This video motivated my husband that he can try to assemble our Coleman after two months of purchase and soliciting to pay someone to assemble... Thanks for help 🙏...
We motivate best when competition, beer, food, or sex is involved.
Hey guys, sorry I haven't responded. I plan on doing a follow-up video this weekend, giving a full review of the pool and hopefully answering all your questions. Hit like and subscribe so you're notified when that video drops. Thanks so much!
Florida Outlander thanks for the video I just bought one myself but I just cut the grass shaved everything there is some uneven ground but not to a major problem i will fill it up tomorrow . but I can tell you guys did a good job looking forward on your updated🏄🏄🏄🏄😀
You made this look so easy. Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this video
Thanks for watching!
The unit heats up fast and is super quiet. It looks fancy czcams.com/users/postUgkxl8Od2BvnGbn1ffwqsuFXW0QnmcZgMiVY and can be kept in the living room. It gets hot within a split second of turning on the unit. The build quality is exceptionally good and is safe to be around kids and pets. This one is super quiet and can be kept on while in office meetings, my wife loved it. It shows the temperature right on the unit which is very useful and adding a rotating feature helps to heat up the surrounding, so other people will not fight with you for heat. It is right as described in the description..!! Definitely recommend!!
Great video and very helpful!! Thank you!! We are putting ours up!
Nice job, brings back old memories of when our kids were small. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Ok, I’m coming down! I live in Philly. I’ll bring cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and some craft beer. I’m leaving now.
Sweet! Drive careful! Just know the pool is currently hovering around the 50 degree mark, so if that ain't too cold for you, jump on it!

Hi just bought a 20x46 this video helps,
2 questions What method did you use to level the ground? and is that sand you put down over ground?
Yo sí tuviera terreno tb haría lo mismo! Veranito piscinita! Que envidia
Lo siento, no tienes la tierra para poner una piscina. Pero gracias por mirar!
Thanks for showing this pool to me sense l was 6 l wanted a pool thank you
good tutorial, great idea with boards under legs I will make the same next year.
I’m wondering about the same but isn’t it more stable without the boards so the legs to stuck in the ground ?
@@nv-systems I think better will be with board I will try, last year without that some legs gone underground about 3-5cm
Gosh this gives me flashbacks I've spent countless hours I'm trying to put things together for my kids
Great video! What size wood did you use under legs? Thanks.
Man you made this look so easy!!!! 👍🏾
Nothing to it, if you know what your doing and plan ahead. Most important thing is leveling the perimeter of pool base or where the uprights well set and highly recommend using 12x12 stone blocks and also renting a laser to level each block exactly the same. Than level the inside where the pool well set and make sure you use lots of sand and spread it evenly as best as you could. Yes it's lots of work but when it's all done the right way it well be a lot of fun. Be patient and take your time. Peace to all and God Bless.
Que bella piscina...!!!
Pasenla bien!!!
Lastima no vinos ya el disfrute de lis nenes.
Thank you!
@@axelruntschke quanto costa
@@danielamantovani9260 Ho pagato $640 US.
That’s bloody massive
This came in the post today so fun
Me encanta 😍😍
When you are going around with the level how do you compensate for anything off kilter since the feet are already sitting on the wooden boards?
Great question, Kenneth, thanks for asking. I had to raise or lower the blocks so they were all level with one another. Adding dirt under a block to raise it, or removing dirt under it to lower it. Pretty easy.
@@axelruntschke genius
Did you buy the boards already cut into squares are did you cut them?
Florida Outlander hey what size pool is that
Kenneth Burtelson, I pre screwed 4”x7”x3/4” cedar boards on the ends of the foot prior to setting up and they worked perfect. They didn’t hit the pool liner at all when filled. It is extremely important to get the pool perfectly level. I compacted 4” of sand under my Intex 16’ pool, then used the method found on You Tube with the rebar stake in the middle and a strait 2x4x18’ with a level taped to it to circle around the sand and level it. When filled the water was perfectly level around the liner. Don’t skimp on this part.
Top ,looks great the Pool....😀👍
Great....video.....needed that visual
Nice pool 😊 You can put a full deck or half deck around this as well.
Hello. For the pavers, did you have to dig up spots to drop them in, or did you just put them on top of the leveled ground? If you just put them on top, did it mess with the pool
Dimensions?
You should install them leveled to grade.
This prevents over stretching the liner and gives you a flat ground.
A way on knowing where to place them is to just assemble the steel top ring without the liner and legs/support beams once you have the ground semi prepared.
With help, place the ring on its final location and mark the areas where the feet will be at every the "T" brace with paint.
Once that's done, dig down to install pavers at final grade.
At the end, if all paver blocks are leveled to final grade (by using a laser or water level), you can use them as a reference to level off the ground itself around them, where the pool will sit and your pool will be perfectly leveled.
Thanks for the video! We leveled the ground and laid artificial grass. would we have to cut out artificial grass and dig down to put a wooden board under each footing or can we just put them on top?
instaBlaster.
Great video - I'm thinking about getting one too. Does it come with the tarp underneath? what about the wood planks around the pool? I have a large yard with grass. Does the grass need to be removed or can I put it on top? How long did it take you to remove and level the area? sorry for all the questions - this is new to me
Thanks for watching, Christine! The pool does come with a ground cover. That's the big grey square tarp you see us putting down. The round blue one is something I just had laying around so I used it as well. You'll definitely want to remove all grass, rocks, roots and twigs from the area. I took us 3 weekends to clear and level the area, but our yards is on a pretty good incline. You'll also need to buy some concrete pavers to put under each leg to prevent them from settling over time.
@@axelruntschke Thanks for replying and I'll follow your recommendations :-) wish me luck!
Did the pavers under each leg raise the bottom seam at all?
Lol good information by visual and funny with the speed
Wondering how many seasons this pool will last for 2k
I noticed that you were leveling the support beams at the end.
What type of prepping did you do?
Red clay in Fla. You must be central towards North end of the state.
I'm in Miami and I'm beginning to set one up.. I'm currently prepping the ground.
I built a water level and plan to work the entire area with the lowest area as the base grade. Anything higher will get dug up.
I also plan to compact the entire area with a tamper.
I'm also planning to use 12" concrete pavers at a flush at grade with the leveled ground.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thx. in advance
You're on the right track with your plan. I used pieces of pressure treated 2x8 and 1x8 and would either set them into the ground or add dirt under them to raise them to achieve a level top ring.
@@axelruntschke So the pool was finally finished just about 3 months now.
The good news is that the installation and prepping came out flawless. Not even a 1/2" offset and even made a small section with pavers on the outside, where the ladder sits to rinse feet before going in.
The bad news is that even though all roots and grasses where ripped, ground leveled, sprayed the ground with Roundup and as a final precaution laid out a 5 mil thick tarp under the pool liner, a grass blade managed to grow through.
I've read that St. Augustine and Bermuda grasses are very intrusive, but this is ridiculous.
For now there's no leak and I'm not worrying about it. I'll deal with it when it really becomes a problem.
Other than that, everyone is truly enjoying the watering hole.
@@axelruntschke - That is 100% NOT the proper way to level a pool. You never add soil. It will just compact down and be unlevel again. And you never raise the legs up like that. It stretches and stresses the liner. Level the area first and see the leg supports at the same level as the soil.
Oh boy. Now you’ll have friends you never knew you had.
I'm fine with that. The more friends, the better
And pissed off neighbors
How did you level the ground and were the bricks under the footings necessary ?
Macario Aguilar I used a gas powered tiller to loosen the hard ground, then raked from the high end down to the low. Ground ended up being too hard so I got 2 yards of sandy clay to put on the low side to get everything level. The pavers are absolutely necessary so the legs don't sink into the ground over time.
@@axelruntschke thank you..Mac
I LOVE IT SOOO SATISFYING
Thanks for watching!
Hey brother. Love this! How did you get the last section together. I’m having trouble getting it to fit like there’s not enough space. Thanks
Press the button in and slide the t-joint all the way on as far as it will go. That worked for me.
I'm having the same problem, did you finally get yours together?
Tanya Fowler it can be done!!! Try disconnecting 2-3 sides one direction and work your way around. I was able to get mine together by doing this and finalizing in a different location. Also I had a nice heavy rubber mallet and banged the heck out of both sides until there was just about a 1/2 of room to fit them together. Initially I was about 8 inches off so this really helped.
we just bought this pool (had the 15x48) loved it except by summers end the feet at one end were sinking, saw you put pavers or wood down I be afraid the corners would puncture the pool even with tarp or were they far enough away because I thinking of putting them down also.
Definitely put down some pavers. The liner is very durable.
Use wood and route or sand all edges till very rounded
Is there a filtering system ??
What did you use to clear up the grass under it?
A flat shovel and then I rented a tiller to break up the ground and level everything.
Ok, Just admit your here because your pool is outside filling up with water
Great job thx
This is so amazing wow 😶
The dogs are hilarious! 😄
What's the trick to getting all the wrinkles out, so funk doesn't grow in them? Thanks.
You fill up just a little with water, and then start pulling with feet or hands , water gives some weight to it, and keep ironing it.
Hey, im looking at buying this exact same pool. Do you think this could be set up on top of a concrete slab?
I'm honestly not sure.
how many hours does it take to fill it?
Great job. If you want something, you have to work for it. 👍
The house and I’ll get back to the house and then I have will be there in a little bit I’ll be there in five minutes I’ll be there I’ll be back there in a little bit I’ll be there I’ll get back in about a half a hour I’ll get back in there I’ll get there I’ll be back in there in about a half a hour and
What was the round liner? The cover?
Also take a min and get wrinkles out of the flooring!! I saw this suggestion in another video and it makes a world of difference!
Where can i find the tarp just bought a pool like this one different color but we didnt see a tarp ?
Ours came with the tarp. Home Depot and Lowe's should have some.
@@axelruntschke thank you really appreciate.
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me what size this pool is and where you got it. Trying to decide on one that would be good for my 6 and 9 year old boys. This size looks pretty good. (3:02. Big bro helping his little bro look in the pool. Why can’t mine get along as nicely as they do!!!)
This is the Intex 18' by 52" round pool. We bought it on Amazon.
@@axelruntschke Thank you for the reply. Couple of favors if you can. (Feel free to ignore if I'm asking too much) Could you post the link you got it from as I cant seem to find it, (and my wife so its not just me being blind) Also bigger favor, can you tell me the size of the box it came in. The reason I ask is I live in Toronto Canada ( I was checking US Amazon site) The only pools sold here are mostly Summer waves and I like the look of the Intex. So the plan is to buy this and have it delivered to an address in the States and then take a road trip with my son one day and pick it up. I have a Jeep compass so just wondering about the size. Lastly, did it come with a sand filter? Ok that's all. If you ever come to Canada I will buy you a beer.
@@tysmith7646 Not the original poster, but here is the one I am looking at, and I think it is the same one: www.amazon.com/Intex-Ultra-Filter-Ladder-Ground/dp/B07F3DP48S/
@@GeoffintheGarage That's perfect!!!! Thank you Geoffrey. I owe you the beer now.
Where did you get the overhead tent from?
I don't remember. Walmart, maybe? It's just a 10x10 that I had set up off to the side.
Great video, but i wonder if these pools are tear and puncture resistant. What about the pool bottom? Is it also durable? You uploaded the video 3 years ago, i really need your feedback.
Very durable! No tears or punctures anywhere!
how many hours did the pool build take ?
It took my wife and I about 1 hour to put together. Then another 12 hours to fill it.
How much did it cost to fill the pool with water?
How much sand base did you use? I only ask b/c I’m installing the same pool now and I’m seeing that a sand base isn’t recommended for them.
I didn't use straight sand, but sandy clay. Very different. I needed 2 yards to level the spot.
Florida Outlander Smart, sandy clay compacts well and less risk of washout. Thanks for the information sir!! And I’m looking forward to silica sand/filter sand difference video.
@@dreedy23691 hoping to be able to do that video on Saturday, my only day off. Work's been crazy.
Florida Outlander No rush, sir. Let a working man work!!!
Hey Bud. What is the round, blue ground cover?
Just a random tarp I had laying around. Can't remember when or where I got it. Just figured I'd throw it down for a little extra protection.
Great !!!
Just curious, why the wooden blocks?
What was the water bill for this size🤔
Part 2 please when it's filed and how many gallons water ?
What is bigger size yuo have and the price
I filled my pool up . Not thinking the leveling was so far off. I was thinking i could dig on the shallow side to bring the water close to being level. Or should i drain some water to where i could lift it to put concrete plates underneath the legs
Great video, looks like a solid setup. I'm thinking about picking up one of these today, how has this pool been working out for you? Any lessons learned you could pass on to a future owner?
Thanks for watching! I'll be doing a follow-up video this weekend giving a full review!

great pool... what size heater do you need to heat it up .. electric heater what KW would it be ? thanks
I'm sorry, but I can't help you there. I live in North Florida so we don't need a heater.
Won't boards under the legs stretch the liner
Not at all. The boards are either flush with the ground or just slightly above or below to achieve a level top ring. The liner in vinyl and very sturdy. No issues after 1 year.
How many feet?

What size is this pool? I’m thinking about getting a 18x48
18x52
need to keep checking each post as it's filled be sure its plumb. once pool gets over 10 inches of water it difficult to move them.
Why did you put the wood under the legs?
Thanks for watching! The legs need something big and flat to sit on so they don't sink into the ground over time. I used pressure treated 2x8s because I had it on hand. However, I recommend concrete pavers. They'll last forever.
how did you cut up your sod
Blood, sweat, and tears. LOL. Fortunately, that area was rather sparse so a flat shovel did the trick.
We rented a sod cutter and it was an absolute beast to use in the TX clay!
And to think I do this every season by myself lol things you do for your kids🤦🏼♀️
How do you protect the liner from rubbing against the pool
Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean the metal poles? The poles are very smooth and the liner is very thick. And there is no movement once it's full of water.
Florida Outlander No I’m talking about the paver stones rubbing against the bladder of the pool. I’ve never been able to get my pool level this year I leveled with paver stones one or two depending on how and level it was in each spot we put the tarp over that I’m worried about it’s still rubbing a hole in the bladder of the pool because they are cement and with the weight of the pool it may cause rubbing
The liner is surprisingly sturdy. And if you have the tarp over the pavers as well you shouldn't have any issues. There's little to no movement down there at the bottom of the liner.
So I don’t need to put sand over those paver stones?
No, you should be good.
How long to prep the ground (level it, pour sand, etc.? Did you do it yourselves? That definitely should be added to the total time to set it up.)
Thanks very much!
How wide and tall is this pool?
18 feet wide and 52 inches tall.

By looking at the pool it doesn’t even seem worth paying for it cause it isn’t all that big at least for adults. To go through all the hassle I want to have a decent size pool for all to enjoy, especially if I have the yard space.
