I DIY'd a 18ft dream pool in my back garden – it should have cost £40K but I saved a fortune & it looks so good
A SAVVY mum has revealed that rather than break the bank on her dream swimming pool, she decided to DIY it herself.
Instead of splashing £40,000 on a deluxe 18ft pool for summer, Natalie Ward, 39, who lives in a detached house in Woking, nabbed bargains from Amazon, Costco, Halfords and even Facebook Marketplace to glam up her garden and create her own luxury chill space.

Not only do the other kids from her road come round to enjoy the pool, but it saved her £37,000 by doing it herself and costs less than £1.80 a day to keep it warm too.
Now, Natalie has revealed all on her pool transformation to Fabulous, as she explained that while her husband and children gave her a hand during the process, she did the majority of the project herself.

Natalie acknowledged that in February 2025, she decided to transform her garden and put in a pool, as she told us: 'I was on holiday in Spain and I watched this lady on Youtube build her own pool. That kind of planted the seed in my head. I was like 'she can do it, surely I can.'
'I spent the best part of 18 months researching all different things - insulation, pumps and heaters. All this stuff.
'If we did the block liner and everything else, we were looking at around £5,000, which we didn't have or didn't want to spend.
'So this seemed like a much more affordable option that wasn't one of the pop-up pools with the poles. We wanted something that was more semi-permanent and could just stay there for the next eight to 10 years.

'Where we live, we know people who've got pools and it costs £30,000 to £40,000, depending on size and whatnot. We've spent under £3,000.'
The DIY process
As a result of her 'wonky garden', she began by hand digging her space to create a flat area for the pool.

The kids and even young neighbours got involved too, as Natalie highlighted: 'They were excited. They just wanted to dig and make a mess.
'There were points where [children from our road] were grabbing things from the garden and putting them in skips and, you know, trying to earn their swim.
'It was chaos and they loved every second of it.'

Natalie and the little ones then got to the water table, which she decided to use as her bottom level of the pool.
After this, she put in a gravel board so if she needed to dig out to replace the liner she had a back edge to work from.
It took days to make sure everything was level and following this, she laid a ground sheet and 10 packs of Halfords floor mats to help absorb any impact and stop the sand from moving.
Next, Natalie covered the bottom with foil insulation to stop it from losing heat through the floor.
The following job was to put up the walls, which Natalie described as 'horrendous.'

Once this was done, Natalie realised she had missed a step, so had to take the walls out and undo the metal cross braces to insert liner covers.
Natalie confirmed that she was then able to add in the pool - the Bestway UK Hydrium 18ft x 12ft pool - which she purchased from
Getting the pool itself in was 'quite straightforward', as she shared: 'Putting it up probably took me four days. It was the prep work that took a load of time.
'It has to be 100% level. That's the bit that takes the time.'
Cutting costs
Natalie stressed that to
'All the aggregates and stuff that went down underneath, we got from builders' merchants. Then the mats and some insulation underneath we got from Amazon.
'The only other extra thing we've got is the heat pump. Because it's a 20,000-litre pool, it needs to be heated. Otherwise, you're never going to use it - it'd be like getting into an ice bath.

'Some things are a bit faddish, aren't they? You don't want to spend thousands on something that you might find you don't use or decide isn't worth having. You might want to do something else with the space in five years' time, whatever it is.
'I don't really enjoy spending money. So if I could do it on a budget, why wouldn't I?'
A two month process
While it didn't cost Natalie anywhere near as much by doing it herself, she confessed that the process wasn't easy.
'It took me two months from start to finish. I work from home so the minute I was done for the day, I was in the garden doing stuff. It was pretty full-on.
It's been an absolute delight. The children are home from school, they're straight in the pool
Natalie Ward
'I was just doing as much as humanly possible in the time we had available.
'We were really lucky with the weather that actually, when we were doing all this digging, it wasn't raining. If it had been raining, we'd have been in a world of trouble, and it would have taken significantly longer,' she admitted.
Not only was Natalie doing the pool project during her evenings, but she also used her weekends too, as she continued: 'If I wasn't working, I was doing the pool.
'It was a huge challenge and I don't think I realised just how big of a job it was until we'd finished. But now it's done, I would 100% do it again.'
Making the weather bearable
Not only is Natalie, who posts on TikTok under the username @
She beamed: 'It's been an absolute delight. The children are home from school, they're straight in the pool. The children in the road see that the kids are in there and ask, 'Can we come in as well?' It's amazing.
'It's lovely and it's making the weather bearable as well. They're obviously getting to cool down after school.
Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat
IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either.
Strip them off
It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun.
Cool down bedrooms before nighttime
When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up.
Wear a hat
Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help.
Avoid the car
The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car.
Stay hydrated
This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be.
'All the kids walk out of school grumpy and miserable, with faces like they've had enough. We get home, they're straight in the pool, and their whole attitude changes.
'They're happy, they're having fun, and they've cooled down quite significantly as well. In this weather it's amazing.
'In a world where kids are attached to screens 24/7, you can't have a screen in a pool. You have to engage, you have to be present, you have to play.
'Having the children at home during half terms means they won't be stuck on a screen. I would much rather they were out playing, having fun, exercising. It's about their quality of childhood as well as the benefit of just having a pool.'
Less than £2 a day to run
Natalie claimed that her pool costs 'next to nothing' to run, as she acknowledged: 'Our house has solar panels - by utilising that, when we run the pool it costs us next to nothing.

Not only did she save £37,000 in the process, but it costs her "next to nothing" to run too
Credit: tiktok/@natalie_ward15
'The most we've spent in any one day this month is £1.80, and that was a day when we had the dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine, and pool all going at the same time.
'The only other thing is the chemicals and treating the water. You buy multifunctional chlorine tablets with everything you need in them, and a five-kilo box costs about £30. I get through one bucket in three months.'
Natalie claimed that while she is only paying £30 a month for chlorine tablets, it used to cost her £30 each time to take her family of four to a local swimming pool.
As a result, she is 'definitely' saving money in the long run and advised those eager to do the same to simply 'do it'.
Parents aren't allowed to take children out of school during term time, holidays aren't always an option, so why not invest in your home and garden?
Natalie Ward
So if you'd love a similar swimming pool in your back garden and aren't sure where to start, Natalie shared her advice.
'Join pool groups on different social media channels and learn from people who've already done it.
'Everyone's got things they would potentially do differently or things to take into consideration. Do your research before you start digging and before you buy the pool.
'The cost of the pool is one of the cheapest parts. It's the heating and the groundwork that then costs more,' she stressed.
Not only this, but Natalie also advised: 'Our summers are getting hotter, the cost of going abroad is increasing. Parents
'So why not invest in your home and garden? Holiday at home, take the week off work, and enjoy it.'

They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, so you could even use them to decorate the tree at Christmas, giving them year round use. Advertisement Read more patio stories The lights are solar-powered meaning there's no need to faff about plugging them in.

Plus, the lights are waterproof, meaning you don't have to worry about bringing them inside during adverse weather conditions.

'Then, slide the spade into the gap left by the mortar and prise the paver free of the patio. "As you lift it up, place a short piece of timber underneath the spade to act as a lever, making it easier for you while protecting the slab underneath. 'When the paver starts to give, place the cylindrical wood underneath it and roll the slab out of the patio.'
