    In lieu of diving board

    Some rocks have minerals like iron that stain when those minerals are exposed to chlorine / water . We replaced out jump rock with a dive platform to solve this . But I’d like to attach a diving board to the platform . I wonder if that’s possible

    Diving Board Base?? Help

    Chose your rock carefully . One that has a lot of iron mineral deposits in it will stain the surrounding deck as it mixes with chlorine . We removed our jump rock and installed a concrete platform for that reason .

    Prehistoric Pool Gets Major Remodel in NorCal!

    How do you find someone to install a diving board in Calif ? Everyone I know says, nope, insurance won't cover diving boards and nobody will touch them. We are installing a diving rock instead.

    Recommended product for sealing cracks in shotcrete/concrete waterfall

    you could try hydraulic cement. worked for me on my waterfall. It's about $20 for a big tub. Mix it with water to be the consistency of peanut butter.
