Finishing up plans for a new pool build in the Fulshear/Katy area. (Cross Creek Ranch)
This is my first pool. I have been reading here at TFP for the past few months. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Working through the details on a potential new pool build in Cross Creek Ranch. I think we have the PB finalized. We are now working through the rest of the details.
1.) What should a pool build like this cost?
We initially set a budget of $60K, but as always we have seem to passed that already before landscape.
2.) Are there any differences between PebbleTec/PebbleSheen and Wet Edge products?
3.) Spa Tile Budget was set at $10/SqFt. This seems very low. Most of the glass tile we have found is closer to $25-$30 per foot.
4.) Polaris 280 / Pentair Legend or robotic vacuum? Any suggestions?
5.) Are there any features/equipment i am missing that are highly recommended?
