What does your pool paradise look like?

[Beerfloater]

We just finished up a remodel of the pool house. We had to replace the floor so we went with composite decking. We used the scrap pieces to make umbrella tables out of whiskey Barrels. what do you think? Now just have to put the rails, ladders, diving board on, and wait for the temps to come up. Water currently at 64 degrees

No Concrete we just put a regular round cast iron umbrella stand in the barrel under the top.

Paradise after dark. Our pool was built 14 years ago, so we don’t have LED lights. I rarely even turn these on, but we enjoyed them last night.

Wife did some stencil painting on white background back patio.

That is stunning!

That really is fantastic. What is the paint? Epoxy?

Saturday morning routine, wash down the deck, brush the walls where the robot can't go, clean the hot tub, check the chem levels (everything in the range), then take a picture of the pool. 82F - with a little help from the pool's friend - Mr. Heater! Hopefully, the sun will drive the pool to 84 this afternoon.

Some of the pots are filling with volunteer Periwinkles (Vinca) and I need to thin them out and move them around. Mr. Cactus survived and its looking much more healthy. Crepe Myrtles are planted in between the old crepes. And it looks like ONE bougainvillea "survived" the Texas Freeze. Big pot, center of the pool has a "shoot" coming up. Can't wait for the pool to hold temp without the covers. In a couple of years, the fence line will look great. Hopefully in less than a month we will have flowers in the pots!

What are those chaise loungers? Are you happy with them and would you recommend them?

Getting back to "normal" after the Big Texas Freeze!

Citrus is gone, but you can now see the crepe myrtles. Potted periwinkles are coming up. Need to plant a few more colored ones.

Looks like the same keter ones I have. Totally worth the price. IIRC it was like $150 for the pair and a table.. but that was before the pandemic.

Funny, I was looking at the photo. You can see the trays of the red periwinkles in the lower right corner

 

[Lonnybass]

Just installed new landscaping, hardscape and a fountain, added retaining walls around the pool perimeter, and 108 individual LED lighting fixtures connected to seven transformers set up in four zones.
