Let’s talk backyard pool. I’ve wanted to do this for years and I’m so glad we did! It’s not as daunting as you might think, it’s also not as easy as you think. I don’t know if that makes sense! Our biggest holdup was not owning 1 inch of property that is level. Absolutely a requirement for your pool to be level no matter how redneck you are! Even if you’re not OCD like me and you don’t care if you’re swimming on a tilt, the pool parts and pieces will not hold up if you’re not Level so plan on doing at least a little digging And get a hold of some sand to make you a nice pad. Your pad needs to be at least 2 feet bigger than your pool all the way around and think about which way you will drain because that much water can destroy some shit let me tell ya. We’ve only had our pool up a couple of days and we’re kind of learning as we go here so I’ll keep you updated! Fall and late summer is a great time to buy though. We are going to spend a lot more on landscaping than we did on the pool itself. Worth it? Right now I say yes, I’ll get back to you next summer. 😎 summer backyardpool swimmingpool diypool redneckliving westernlifestyle LTKSeasonal LTKActive LTKKids
