New Pool Phases (Picture Heavy)

[agent86]

Building an approximate 38ft x 18ft free form SWG gunite pool here in Montgomery, TX (north of Houston)...

Started on Monday, July 13th...

Always open to comments/suggestions...

Awesome! What's the little window well lookin' part outside the main pool?

Verrrrrry nice! I love the choice of tile and pattern. Looks like one side is going to have an infinity spill?

 

[agent86]

Those are planters...

Hopefully when it's finished it should look close to the pictures below...(pending changes as we go along...)

Beautiful. I, too like the tile a lot. Keep adding pix!

That will be one sweet pool, when its all done.

OMG! I love it so far and can't wait to see this one completed! It's gonna be a beauty! I love the tiles and the infinity ledge!

Started forms for decking...going with concrete and applied spray deck (like stomp @ drag)...rebar might get installed tomorrow after electrician finishes up and they compact the soil...also having two 3" PVC run under decking for when I redo my sprinkler system or anything else that needed...

WOW! All of that in 1 week? Maybe if I get mine started in the next few weeks I may still get some swim time in thsi year!

Looks very nice! What finish are you using?

When they say 18x38, is that at the widest points or an average size? i.e. the 38 part is pretty easy, but how do they get the 18' width?

For the plaster we decided on the Diamond Brite - Super Blue. We like the look of Pebble Tech but feel it's much rougher on the feat considering we have some younger kids and don't want to take any chances...

It's 18ft wide on one side and 22ft wide where the tanning deck is located...

That is going to be gorgeous! I don't think I've ever seen so much tile.

 

[Lershac]

Man that is beautiful, and FAST!!! did you kidnap the builders kids or something?

 

[agent86]

He warned me that it would go fast. He only builds a few pools at a time (trying to overlap during during phases) and doesn't believe in any "down" time when other things could be getting done...

 

[agent86]

More pics...decking should be completed by tomorrow....and then they pour....

Not satisfied with the tie-in of the gutter down spout though....looks terrible...

 

[agent86]

Decking was poured today...

New Pool Phases (Picture Heavy) - Spray Deck Phase

Hi agent, Beautyful build!
Finally did I understand how a concrete coping is made, thanks to your pics. Do you know a site where I can read up on those cellular plastic frames that you form with? And also the "dividers" that you have inbetween the sections on your deck? are those also made of celluar plastic?
I would love to be able to order those items to my deck.

Thanks!

Hi Mats,

Try http://www.stegmeier.com/.

The cantilever forms come in many different shapes. They are typically made from styrofoam and are not cheap. At least by my definition of cheap.

 

[agent86]

I love all my trees, but I think I'm going to regret keeping all the massive pine trees. The pine needles are already starting to stain my new spray deck!!!

 

[agent86]

Almost there...

Diamond Brite Super Blue phase...

Filling up the pool...no chemicals yet...just water from the hoses...

According to water meter it should top out close to 23k gallons...
