Hey there,
Wanted to get everyone's opinion on changing the shape of a gunite pool.
The current design (from late 1980's, though well maintained) has rounded out corners with some small cracks in the coping from the above ground track. The cover also recently broke and is in need of replacement and we're planning to replace the deck pavers.
With that, we have a proposal to change the shape to be more rectangular, add an in-line spa, and move the cover under the top. We'd be replacing the deck pavers + repairing the coping at the same time, but any thoughts on whether this can be done safely (from a structural standpoint)?
See attached "proposed pool" to get a feel for the concept.
Thanks in advance!
