4 | Bricklaying walls | Build a pool yourself | English version

The bricklaying of the walls of the pool is displayed in this video. It took me from November 2019 till March 2020 to finish this part of the diy concrete pool project. Because it largely took place in winter, I was highly dependent on the weather. Below 5 degrees Celsius, bricklaying is not recommended. In addition, I did not feel like bricklaying bricks for whole days in a row. That way I kept the fun. I also wanted to do the bricklaying very precise, to prevent possible leaks later on. Of all the sub-projects for building my swimming pool, this was the longest sub-project. I tried to mix 1 or 2 tubs of masonry mortar daily and then use it to brick a number of concrete blocks until the masonry mortar had run out. This usually amounted to a maximum of 12 bricked concrete blocks a day. I used steel reinforcement strips (Murfor) in the horizontal joints. For the complete build of my swimming pool, see the playlist with all videos; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbfYBTFl1-AIT4_cc3MvehacTwCSjeCta Or see the full version video with subtitles, a lot of languages are available; https://youtu.be/AFYuiyXsPRY Or visit my channel if you like; https://www.youtube.com/c/MartinVledder I ordered the concrete blocks with which I bricked the walls at NuBouwen.nl, 1/5 of my order was for the corner concrete blocks, here are two links; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN-KVkA1lmY https://ift.tt/2VHC1wB blocks-29x20x19cm.html To strengthen the walls even more I poured stabilized sand behind them. I made the stabilized sand myself by mixing 1 part cement with 5 parts sand. This then becomes a rock-hard layer that not only provides extra reinforcement of the walls, but also serves to support the edge tiles. The top of the pool will be above ground level, which is better from a practical point of view than it would be level with ground level. Why? The top of the swimming pool of our previous house was level with ground level, as a result, dirt and leaves were blowing into the pool much more easily, but also hedgehogs and mice etc. sometimes accidentally entered the pool at night ....... ! So through these experiences I knew it was better to go for a raised edge this time. That meant that I had to brick 6 layers of concrete blocks, because the depth was 1 meter and a concrete block is 20 cm high (including a 1 cm joint). 6 x 20 cm is 1.20 meters high. In reality, the edge would be a little higher because I made the first joint 2 cm high and there were also edge tiles planned on the edge. In any case, the top of the top (sixth) layer of concrete blocks would come 21 cm above ground level. #martinvledderbuildapool How to build a concrete block pool, or cinder block pool, yourself?
