Need a Stamped Drawing? We offer the following standard Engineer's Drawing - for most permit offices this will be sufficient.

If your permit office does not take this drawing and wants a "Stamped" or "Wet Seal" Drawing, we will have to order it for you at a cost of $200. We need a copy of the exact pool you are ordering and the state in which the pool is being installed. Please call for more information.

Satisified Customers


"Given the size and complexity of this order, I am very pleased with how everything arrived. There was no damage, everything was labeled, and the couple of errors that were found on pump and instruction packet were minor in the overall picture. Anytime you order something of this $$$$, you are a little worried to say the least. I am also very pleased with how responsive diy pools has been. I will be referring my friends and neighbors. A couple of them will be watching my experience and success as they are considering a pool of there own. Thanks!!!!"

DIY Pools is your online source for do-it-yourself pool kits. We offer a wide selection of inground pool kits that any homeowner can install by themselves or with some help from friends, family and local contractors. Our inground pool kits come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including rectangle, roman end, kidney, grecian and freeform. Want to see some pictures of diy inground pool kits completely installed? Sizes can range anywhere from 150sqft up to 800sqft and more!

All inground pool kits from DIY Pools come with free shipping to the lower 48 states. We offer telephone support for homeowners who choose to install the pool kits themselves, and send along complete instruction manuals and specs to aid contractors. If you want to add value and enjoyment to your home, why not add a swimming pool?

In addition to offering the lowest prices on inground swimming pool kits, we also offer a wide variety of liners. Our inground pool kit liners come in three thicknesses; a 20mil pool liner is cheaper than 28mil and provides strength that is suitable for most homeowners. Our 28mil pool liners offer increased strength for a small extra charge. For homeowners desiring our strongest liners, you can't go wrong with our 30mil pool liners. If you are considering a polymer diy pool kit over steel, you have to read our polymer vs. steel comparison.

DIY Pools now offers three polymer panel inground pool kits: pinnacle pools, designer pools and hydra pools panel lines. In addition, DIY Pools now introduces Samson Steel pools, our steel inground pool kit offering. For the homeowner who doesn't want an inground pool kit, we offer Aquasphere aboveground pool kits.
