Some of us would love the idea of swimming pool in the backyard. It’s a fun way to spend some time with family and friends while beating the scorching heat of summer. The only problem is the cost.

Who has the money nowadays to buy a pool either an in-ground or above-ground one? They aren’t exactly the cheapest expenditure you can make. Though the above-ground ones you can find at your local big box store can be fairly inexpensive, you’re still going to be investing at least a few hundred dollars in one.

A DIY swimming pool can seem like a giant undertaking, but it only takes a few hours to assemble completely. Make this a group effort and get some friends and family involved so the end results can be enjoyed by all. Have fun and make it your own. Give it some personality or leave it be for a natural look.
