You will need a quantity of pieces of wood with a 5x10 cm section, at least 8, as long as you want one side of the pool to be, and a quantity of others for the scaffolding; at least 20 supports will be needed depending on the height of the pool.

Steps

Step 1. Build pool side braces by placing two pool length pieces of wood on the floor

Decide what length you want the pool to be, then cut the wood to that length without the 5x10cm width.

Step 5. Now you need to build the side scaffold to keep the water inside

You can draw both scaffolding or use this template. Build a 5 x 10 cm box at the height of the pool with another 5 x 10 cm piece inside, placed diagonally. Try to make sure the wood inside goes from the top of the pool to the ground, to the bottom of the base.

Step 7. Attach the walls together by putting them together in pairs and screwing the sides together, or you can place a log on the corners and connect the walls through it

The first method is the easiest and the simplest, you just need long screws.

Advice

  • You don't need to use a pump to fill the pool, but it would help keep it clean.
  • You can line the pool floor with the plywood to try to help, but it's not necessary.
  • If you don't put chemicals in the pool or use the recent UV method, then the pool will become disgusting in a few days at most, maybe (at least) one day only.

Warnings

  • If water leaks, you will have to clean it up or the floor may warp depending on the extent of the phenomenon.
  • The deeper the pool, the greater the water pressure will press on the sides of the pool - be prepared for a catastrophic event on the walls.
