What Is an Above Ground Pool Kit?
DIY above ground pool kits are packages that contain all the essential materials and equipment needed to construct an above ground swimming pool. Our kits include precut kiln-dried yellow southern pine, a liner, a filtration system, installation instructions, and more. We have kits for pools in various shapes and sizes to suit different preferences and yard dimensions. There is also the option to upgrade to different types of more durable liners.
Why Should You DIY Your Above Ground Pool?
Affordability
DIY above ground pool kits are generally more affordable than inground pools, making them a budget-friendly option for homeowners looking to add a swimming pool to their backyard.
Easy Installation
Compared to traditional inground pools, above ground pools are easier and quicker to install, especially with the convenience of DIY kits. This makes them a popular choice for those seeking a hassle-free home pool installation process. They also provide a sense of accomplishment for the true DIY-er looking to build and install things throughout their home.
Portability
One of the key advantages of above ground pools is their portability. Unlike inground pools, above ground pools can be disassembled and relocated if needed. If you decide to move or just want to try your pool in a different area of your yard, relocation is a breeze.
Safety
Above ground pools have higher walls and secure entry points, reducing the risk of accidental falls, especially for small children and pets. Many above ground pool kits include safety features such as locking ladders or covers.

DIY Above Ground Pool Installation Process
01.
Site Preparation
Choose a suitable location for your pool, ensuring it is leveled and free from any obstructions like rocks or tree roots. Use a transit level or laser level to ensure accuracy.
02.
Assembly of Frame
Begin by assembling the pool frame according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves connecting metal or resin components using nuts, bolts, or snap-lock mechanisms. Ensure all connections are secure to provide stability.
03.
Installation of Pool Walls
Once the frame is assembled, attach the pool walls to the frame, ensuring they are aligned correctly. Most kits come with interlocking wall panels that are secured in place using screws or clips.
04.
Liner Installation
Carefully spread out the pool liner inside the frame, smoothing out any wrinkles or folds. Attach the liner to the top of the pool walls using coping strips or another securing method recommended by the manufacturer.
05.
Filtration System Setup
Install the filtration system according to the provided instructions. This typically involves connecting the pump, hoses, and filter unit. Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent leaks.
06.
Filling the Pool
Once the pool structure and filtration system are in place, begin filling the pool with water. Use a garden hose or other suitable water source and monitor the filling process to ensure the water level is even.
07.
Final Touches
After the pool is filled, install any additional accessories, such as a ladder, skimmer, or pool cover. Perform a final inspection to check for any leaks or issues before enjoying your new pool.

All wood components are pre-machined and require no cutting or drilling during assembly. The unique interlocking pattern gives the DIY Pools a superior exterior finish and unparalleled strength. There are no flimsy metal walls to corrode or collapse.

Warranted for 15 years, this extra heavy, full 20 mil. virgin vinyl pool liner is guaranteed to take on any family. DIY Pools has a variety of attractive full-print liners to choose from. Some pool liner patterns may require an additional charge. Please call for complete price-list.

Questions & Answers on Above Ground Pool DIY Kits
There seems to be a lot of confusion today around what it means to “build your own swimming pool”. To many other pool companies, building your own pool means that you purchase all of the necessary supplies and then you or your pool retailer subcontracts out the work. We don’t know about you, but that doesn’t seem to satisfy the average “Do-it-yourselfer”. At Crestwood Pools, we offer everything the Do-it-yourselfer needs to build their own high-quality swimming pool from the comfort of their own yard. Below is a photo of what you receive, and you’ll receive printed and visual instructions on installing your swimming pool.

First, for the most accurate estimate, please give us a call or fill out a pool quote form. Second, the cost of your do-it-yourself pool depends on a variety of factors including your location (including local regulations, permits and required contracting), whether or not your yard is flat or not, whether or not your soil includes rock or other challenging elements, the size of the pool, and how you’re going to maintain the quality of your pool’s water. Also, you’ll want to consider the pool’s longevity (your return on investment) and complexity of installation. While Crestwood’s DIY Pools are a tad higher than the average DIY Pool cost of $2,500 – $3,500, Crestwood DIY Pools come with two remarkable warrantees, as well as an average life span of 35 years! Most common DIY above ground pools are made of cheaper materials like steel or aluminum, and Crestwood DIY Pools tend to be installed in only one day.
While the average Above Ground Pool will last anywhere from 5 – 15 years, Crestwood Pool’s high-quality wooden structure and materials have been found to last upwards of 35+ years! You can read some of our reviews on our home page and Facebook page. If you want further peace-of-mind behind our pools’ longevity and return on investment, please visit our Warranty page to learn more or give us a call.
