For diving code requires the deep end hopper to be 8 feet long and 8 feet wide before the transition slope of 12 feet. I would ask yourself and family how you plan on using your pool....is it more for diving or playing sports. Your pool builder should be able to help as well. We struggled with...

Great thread! Our pool is currently being built. L shape 18x36 with a 10x10 stick out for the base of the L....so 18x36x28. Intent was volleyball along the bottom of the L and diving up the L. Hired a design company to layout the project including a 39x16 garden shed and cabana. PB comes...

Thanks Pooldv for the explanation, really helpful and appreciated :)

Wow Brian - great work on this! I agree with so many of your points....some of them I haven't even thought of since it is over my head. There are so many things to consider for pool installs and I find it so overwhelming. ...our backyard gets dug up Monday and I am so not ready as I keep...

Thank you both once again!! Yeah we would definitely lose quite a bit of deck by cutting steps into them into the centre of the deck, which then makes me wonder what I would do there. We don't want to make the pool any shorter than 36 feet so that we have a decent stretch of 4 feet deep with a...

Glad you like the Hulk Hogan....lol...there is a huge wrestling fan here as I am sure you figured.... Thanks for spending my money both of you! By the looks of it Brian you like to spend money as well.....I lurked and what you've recently built looks amazing!!! Way to go, hope you have been able...

Thanks for your replies....much appreciated!! I've tried to attach two pictures....one is a birds eye view from Google with the white lines being the property boundary which is a very odd shape; hence the cabana location. I completely agree with your disconnect comment and think we need to...

Thought I would reach out to the group as we are stumped regarding what to do for a deck off the house leading to new backyard oasis. I have read numerous posts and have found there are so many helpful folks on this forum!! Our backyard is a clean slate except for an existing deck off the...
