In this video I tackle a mega backyard build that every kid dreams about: a mini swimming pool right at home. I start by choosing a corner of the yard, laying bricks into a clean rectangle, and locking everything in with cement. Then I reinforce the frame with rebar, set up formwork, and pour concrete—plus I add three rebar columns for the front wall so the structure stays strong. After the concrete sets and the formwork comes off, I install the plumbing before I build higher, because it’s always easier to plan the water flow early. Next I build up the pool walls and split the layout into two departments: the main pool and a smaller section that I divide again—half for stairs, half for the filter system. I cap the filter area with a concrete slab, rebuild the stairs with more space and a railing, then plaster and smooth everything. I texture the steps and walls into a vintage brick style, shape the waterfall outlet, and install a glass panel on the front for a “fancy” look. Finally, I connect the pump and filtration, tile the inside, add white sand for mini beach vibes, paint the outside sky blue, load filter floss and biomedia, fill with fresh water, and clean it out for the first swim.
