Lonestar installed the pool earlier this week... other than being very late on the first day (they said it would only take them one day to do it all), everything went well. They ended up showing up around 1pm on Monday (were supposed to be there early am) and ended up leaving about 9pm that...

I actually found your pool on google (I think) when searching for flagstone coping on a fiberglass pool, Keith! Your pool is what brought me to this site! I really like the way everything turned out. I didn't even think about trying to pour my own deck a little at a time... my original...

Re: Request for advice redoing the deck around fiberglass po I'd love to see the finished deck if you have pics (even better if you took pics while you were doing the work)! I'm about to start the same project on a new pool install. Scott's guidance above is great, but I really don't want 5+...
