That price seems like quite a good deal for all they do. I pay $300 for everything you listed.

We live in Wisconsin and when I was a kid, my Dad let us use the pool for ice skating one winter. We had an inground, vinyl-liner pool that he had built himself from a kit. We didn't do anything special to protect the liner, just piled snow around the outside edge to keep us from hitting the...

What a great idea!!! I also am thinking about getting a cover, but the only ones I can find online are called "winter covers" and come in a dark green color. Does anyone think there would there be any problems using this year round?

After going two years without one, I finally invested in a solar cover and reel. One thing I didn't realize is how big the thing is and how conspicuous it becomes in the landscape. I've spent a lot of time making the pool area look nice, but now the reel just sticks out like a sore thumb. My...

I definitely like the new look better. I think the jagged edge of the wood you added makes it work better with the jagged rocks.

I found this while doing a google search. I don't know if it has been posted here before, but I found the pools pretty cool. I especially like the one that makes it look like the family is underwater with their regular clothes on. http://www.asianoffbeat.com/default.asp?Display=1556 Added by...

I just purchased some of the cal-hypo pucks at our local wal-mart. They sell the hth brand ones. It says right on the bucket "will not cause over stabilization". They do dissolve pretty fast though, faster than trichlor. They disolve in about 2-3 days.

I took a peak under our cover yesterday. Only a bit of ice left, but the water looked blue! The temperature only has to rise another 40 degrees and we'll be swimming! :lol:

I would like to hear some ideas for shade/shelter by the pool too. I bought one of the gazebos from Target last year. I thought I had it tied well to the fence next to the pool. Unfortunately the first big storm blew the whole thing over and into the pool. Luckily I didn't get a hole in the...

I'm new here.. but just had to comment that the size of that is awesome! I can't wait for it to warm up.. we have had such a long, snow, cold winter here in wisconsin. I would say I was sick of looking at my cover too, but I haven't seen even the cover of my pool in 3 months.. it's buried...
