We debated the oval and round. We ended up going 32' round because the cost of the pool and install was considerably less than going oval. We don't regret our decision.

Have you decided against a deep end? That is something that I would recommend. It's nice to have that extra bit of cannonball room. :) (thanks for the link and compliments on the set up, Speedo)

Thanks everyone. And caring for it is really a breeze with this website to reference.

Pretty much done at this point. A railing should be in our future. Stain. And some landscaping and hardscaping. But now it's time to enjoy the rest of the summer in our TFP and wait for cooler weather for more work. :mrgreen:

Yep. We have a deep side of about 6 1/2 feet on ours. Wouldn't have it any other way. My build is the link in my signature.

We picked up our Doughboy 32' round in a Tundra pulling a trailer. I really don't think it all would've fit in the bed of the truck. Additionally, the walls were pretty heavy and we were happy to have the low trailer where we could just kinda scoot and roll the boxes out of the trailer without...

can TA levels be too low? For instance, mine is 50. It was just 70 last week. My pH is really maintaining well at 7.2-7.5 levels

I'm thinking unless you dig by shovel, you will have to remove more than just the liner. Additionally, that's A LOT of water to remove and replace. Plus the sand on the bottom would have to be replaced. I would be hard pressed to go through all of that after the pool has already been installed.

Aw ok. Well, if it's something that you have ever considered I would encourage you to do it. It really ups the fun level for the kids. My teenager said it wouldn't be nearly as much fun to have the pool without the extra cannonball room. :) But I understand if you can't go that route as...

I see you have the expandable liner, what kind of deep end are you planning?

http://www.unicelfilters.com/pool_owner ... m.asp?dd=1 perhaps you can find something here. I tried to input the measurements you stated in your post but they were incompatible. The measurements on the website are quite specific (26 1/8 and so forth) so perhaps that was the problem. or you...

My husband took a few days off of work and, with the help of my brother-in-law, we began our deck journey. We did the posts on a Friday and had some other commitments so didn't begin the framing until Sunday. We got the framing done in two days. Brother-in-law had to go back to work so...

You need to use pavers. Between splash out and rain your ground will get wet and soft and the weight of the pool and water will cause the legs to sink. When we had out intex we did what Bama suggested and laid the pool out and got the pump area turned where we wanted it and just placed the...

Awesome. Thanks for the help ya all! Will be giving it a shot here in a bit.

ok, thanks.
