Why would you want a swimming pool? The real question probably is why wouldn’t you want a swimming pool?
Who says having a swimming pool in your home requires a big budget? We’ve featured dumpster diving before as one low-cost way of creating family pools, but here’s a cheaper project… Of course, it’s the humble pallet again!
A pallet swimming pool is not only more inexpensive, but it is also faster to build. You can finish it in just one day!
Your purchase includes One Intex Round Prism Frame Pool Set | 110-120V Krystal Clear cartridge filter pump, one pool ladder, ground cloth & pool cover.
It could be any size, shape, or design that you want since this is a DIY project and it is an above-ground swimming pool. There’s almost no restriction in building it yourself!
View our album of pallet swimming pools below and be inspired to build your own (if you don’t have any backyard pool yet).
Do you know anyone who could use a pallet swimming pool in their yard for the summer? :)
