This took 4 months to build. We've been swimming in it and watching the ecosystem develop for 6 years. It's been an amazing experience. We are moving and this pool will be dearly missed.
~50'x~35' overall
~40'x~25' swimming area
3' deep perimeter of swimming area
7.5' deep center of swimming area

  • Pretty awesome. First time ever seeing wood used inside the liner as opposed to the outside

    Jonathan, that is an amazing pool you built and a great video showing the progress of the build. I had never heard of constructing such a pool, but your creativity and craftsmanship brought it to life. Congratulations!

    Beautiful pool! Id definitely get a uv sterilizer light to geet the algae under control ❤
  • Typical social media comments. Loads of people who haven't done something and really don't know, telling someone else their successful project doesn't or won't work! In a sensible world, they would watch and say 'jeez I never knew that could work. So glad I learnt something today'.

    Warning that wood though will be come slick as heck with algae. Maybe some handrails as you get out.
  • This was so awesome to see come together...👏👏👏 It's so unique and I love the entire feel of this pool. Hope you're still enjoying splashing around on these Hot Summer days. Well done friend. Very impressive build.👍

    Beautiful. What was the total construction cost? Where are you located?
  • It's beautiful! And... skinny-dipping would seem more appropriate. Well, at least when the camera's off!
  • @billthompson8182
    I would have omitted the wood, but I think I understand why you wanted it in this instance. Nice work.

    My only worry with this build is the wetland clogging from organic matter and there is no way to clean it, then the air pumps will not be able to pump through the media anymore. although i guess that the water plants just by themselves being in the water will keep the water pure. What do you think?
  • @windyaft
    Beautiful, although I do wonder about the longevity of it all. Either way, bravo!
  • @tha9110
    Do you have a water filteration system to keep the water clean?
  • @Sea-cucumber1151
    Beautiful, but honestly thought you should have backfilled the wall behind with gravel as well. That’s a lot of open space where the clay or whatever with water can fill and put back pressure on the walls. Maybe the French drain will help, if it does, fantastic.
