Although a few words of advice....
- Have a team of ppl to help...I did mine solo and it's a hell of a workout hand mixing and pouring that much concrete after you're already beat from digging a hole... I'm 105lbs and literally pushed myself to the MAX.
- Don't use quickrete (my pool is over two tons of pretty heavy duty concrete/60lbs per bag)...quickrete won't retain the water.
-Do your research -concrete is a very dangerous substance.... It's burns thru your skin, fills your lungs, and is pretty much everything a human should NOT come in contact with... Be prepared to dork yourself out with PPE
-buy done concrete patch from hardware/farm store .... You will use it more than you know. This is straight up portland and if not used with care/safety will not turn out well for you. Read directions carefully
