Materials to build your cheap home swimming pool
First of all, you don’t have to be an engineer or a bricklayer to assemble it with your own hands. All you have to do is visualize the finished product and have enough disposition.
As we had mentioned, you can choose the cheapest materials and still guarantee the most pleasant experiences at home.
This is what you will need:
- 10 pallets (or as many as you need depending on the size you are looking for).
- Organic canvas.
- Waterproof cover.
- Duct tape (the strongest kind).
- Nails.
- Wooden lining.
You can get the pallets in some stores free of charge. If it’s a pool for the little ones, you can reduce their number.
On the other hand, the lining can be of the material you prefer, but wood is cheaper.
Don’t forget to buy a water purifier to enjoy maximum hygiene throughout the season.
