    Sports Pool Slope / Dimensions

    Hi @wmrwmr- We are considering a sport pool with a 4-5.5-4 profile. Did you make a decision and have a build yet? Just curious how it turned out.

    Swim Jet or Endless Pools Fastlane

    Thanks so very much @ckendalls! Apologies for my delay. We are getting our second quote and the designer steered me away saying any system needed 12” pipe and we’d be talking 20k or more. I’ve now been through some of Badu’s info and it doesn’t seem 12” is required at all. What was a ballpark...

    What prices are you seeing?

    Also a local LKL friend has had a quote for $130k from a builder in Tampa. She’s getting everything we were quoted and wanted + hot tub + travertine on and cage around all the existing patio and all around new pool. If we added the cage around our existing lanai and travertine with this builder...

    What prices are you seeing?

    That tells me ours is a bit out of line. This builder is not a volume builder and seems to have a good rep but not a long history and I think that may be affecting things. No Travertine here, but we would like that. We specifically asked for decking of similar quality and wanted it to cover...

    What prices are you seeing?

    Hello! Brand new — Early planning stages

    @HermanTX thank you so very much. No spa. Absolutely on maximum pool for area/budget—I’m constantly rethinking, but that’s why I’m here and very early in the process. Any downsides to in-pool umbrella holders? What about bubblers? We’d want room for a lounge chair or two in the tanning deck...

    Hello! Brand new — Early planning stages

    Hi, This is such a great group! We are in central Florida and bought one of the rare homes without a pool in our neighborhood. We love our home and don’t want to leave so we are in preliminary stages of planning. Our initial draft is out for its first quote. I am someone who likes to know...

    Peacock Pavers?

    This is an extremely old thread, but wondered if you went with the Peacock Pacers and what your experience was. Our potential builder just suggested them today.

    Swim Jet or Endless Pools Fastlane

    Hi! I know this is an old post, but I appreciated your contribution as we are in early planning stages for a pool and I feel the swim jets are a must have. How has your system held up? What are your overall pool dimensions? Thanks!
