Hello everyone! Just finishing a pool remodel at my new house, you can see that thread here: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/75260-New-proud-owner-of-neglected-50-year-old-gunite-pool
I just put in new stamped concrete I don't love the idea of drilling into it. I talked to my pool refinisher and he said I could get pipe anchors and extension straps. About half would be need extensions (two sides are 5 feet and I think I could get away without the straps, but the other two sides are 8 feet and would need extensions). I like the idea of not drilling into the concrete and not having to worry about screwing the pins up and down, them getting stuck, etc.
I just ordered the 5' fencing that will be going around the concrete with self-closing gate and magna-lock latches. The cover that came with the pool has a couple small rips where it was probably dragged on the concrete by the previous owner, but for the most part is in good enough shape to keep out leaves/debris during the winter.
Does anyone see any issues with using the pipe anchors/strap extenders? Thanks for any info and/or personal experience.
