    Are you sure it's a single unit fiberglass pool and not a polymer-walled in-ground kit? I could not find a FG pool by SPP on eBay or on their web site.

    A polymer-walled or steel-walled inground pool is definitely a do-it-yourself project for those with sufficient skills.

    . . . membership updated.

    @CarlD: Good catch, Carl. I killed his link, but didn't pay attention to what it was. However, here's the description: "20'x40' Inground Rectangle Steel Wall Swimming Pool Kit w/ Step & Deluxe Kit"

    My bad about the link. I forget that it's a big no-no for whatever reason, but I respect the rules, and apologize. It's on eBay and I just came across it from searching "small fiberglass pool." I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that it's not actually a fiberglass pool, not that that's a bad thing.

    Nonetheless, I'm not considering something that large. Just a small pool and I thought it would be interesting to research a bit about DIY. It can be done.

    I was just trying to get an idea of what I am looking at as far as equipment rentals and what kind of unexpected things arise that one might not think of being their first.

    I don't know, but I think DIY and a FG pool are probably a no-go unless you have a crane and experience contracting it.

    However, DIY AG and IG pools are definitely possible for the handy home-owner.

    Another little adage we have around here: Nobody EVER says "Gosh, I wish my pool wasn't so big!"
