I figured it would cost more than just buying one. Everywhere I look for even just a shell its costing atleast 7 - 8K. I wish I could find one for 3K! I'm not looking for a big one either - probably about 18 ft long and no deeper than 5ft in the deep end.

Speaking of wetlands, behind my immediate back yard I have 1/4 acre of wetlands as part of my property and it does flood some in a really bad rain. So I'm conserned with the water level table. I was thinking of building the pool up some where its not fully burried in the original ground. And have it stick out about 2 ft. Then at the end of where I want my concrete patio around the pool I would build up a wall with concrete blocks, add some support braces on the sides of the pool and then fill with dirt and conrete the top. This way it will be raised and even with my back door also. I'm in Savannah, GA if this helps on info.

Thanks!
