    There is actually a way of building a pool using pool liners instead of concrete. Problem a) if your pool needs draining in the summer -- forget it. You'll lose your liner b) use the wrong cleaner and it will suck up your liner. :doh: c) still need the same chemicals and just as much to keep clean

    Yeah, many pools use liners, over concrete or concrete and panels. As far as I know they can be emptied though. Fiberglass is different though, if it is emptied it can deform, which sounds crap to me.

      So you've moved from France-Lite to France proper? What do you have to show at the border to cross? A white flag? :-)

            What was it, the Eskimos have 30 words for snow and the French 200 for surrender? I jest, but what are they going to do complain to the U.N. about it then ignore the resolution anyway?

              Helped a friend build a huge Coy pond using a membrane then packed concrete on inside of hole. Turned out real nice.

              My aren't we playing coy? :) I think you mean a "koi" pond. Unless you are building a puddle of water to play hide and seek with.

                  Expensive buggers they are, so I got to thinking, how about a swimming pond. Dig a hole with sloping sides and with a deep end. Chuck in some blue liner, available from some pond supply shops, and stick in the usual pumps and filters. Looks like for a big pool the whole thing could be done for around 5k euros instead of 25k. Anyone done this or know of it being done? Got any advice? Tips?

                  I know from having a pond with a liner that some liners can get very slippery, so you want to check that when choosing the liner.

                        I dunno. Sounds like a fishy request.
