Building a swimming pool in Africa.

[david44]

Mendy's idea excellent , I imagine like here you can source fully grown plants .
Another alt is of course to roll a layer over the surface when out of use to catch not just leaves but insects, smoke/soot deposits or bird droppings etc



If you have enough (2 stong adults) can DIY with basically a large tarp on a spool, v low tech and as effective.

Looking great , enjoy

A cover will help keep the water temp a little more stable as well. On the plans.

Yeah, nah.

[DrWilly]

Looking good willy.how far is it the the beer fridge ? Or can you ring a bell and someone brings one? That's a good system I find

45 metres from the decking and braai area. I have a bell already

but for some inexplicable reason ‘her indoors is proving hard to train.

Christened the pool today. Beers, swimming, Moscow mules and bbq. Just perfect for a hot and sunny day. (38°C)

I got it straight away.

Aww!

Take a cookie from the jar!

Well Congratso DW. Life is good. Pool, bevvys, grilling. Its the simple things that make life quite enjoyable.

[DrWilly]

Absolutely. You know it, I know it. Shame some struggle. Life is about being content. The only improvement would be some football/rugby on the tv.

[DrWilly]

Night view.

[DrWilly]

[BLD]

[DrWilly]

Having fun in the pool earlier today.

[david44]

Looks great or as Dr Livingstone might have said going swimmingly

[Stumpy]

Looks GREAT DW. Enjoy. Nice relaxing way to spend a hot day.

[Neverna]

Looking good, DW.

[Joe 90]

Smashed it Willy!

Where's the pic of you floating on an inflatable with a beer in hand?

Gotta be done!

[DrWilly]

No chance of peacefully lazing in the pool with the billy lids around, particularly first day back after a week away on business!

[cyrille]

a week away on business!

The latrine monitoring business?

[39TG]

Looking good, DW.

Yes. Awesome.

[DrWilly]

Added some grass around the fringes. That’ll take pretty quickly.

picked up a couple of things, a shark, a boat and a polo goal set.

but apparently they only good up to 40kg… my big frame will burst them. So not happening

[DrWilly]

The blue lights look good and make night swims in this weather a pleasure.

[david44]

Stunning

[malmomike77]

[Joe 90]
