Long time lurker, first time poster! I feel like I've learned a lot from reading here, so thank you for that! This will be our first pool we have owned. This post may be a bit premature, too. We have received bids from six different builders and feel like this is the design and builder we will end up using. Please share your thoughts on the pool design and specs provided by the builder. It's not the most detailed and I have a few questions for him already prepared, but I want to get input from others that have more knowledge. Thanks!
My questions are mainly: pool structure specs/warranty, ditching the Polaris for a robot vac, adding another light, upgrading to the IC60.
The flagstone patio and BBQ pad shown are preexisting and we wanted the pool and new decking to work with those structures. Our lot is on the golf course and we want to obtain/maintain some privacy. Currently we only have an iron fence. There are two large oak trees that will have to come down. The pool will be for my wife, two daughters (16 & 10) and myself. We don't typically entertain or host visitors. The pics show travertine, which we may decide to go with for an additional cost.
