Cool, I will ask our builder what rating it is. Thank you!

Thank you, we are excited for it! 1) great point, I have photos I took of the highest it has ever been in the last 5 years and it was may e 3 or 4 inches where the pool is at. The yard is sloped to the marsh so it is deepest near the fence and the pool wall will be around 2.5 feet elevated...

We have some plans that are looking like they will be approved by our city. I wanted to get feedback before we start construction. The pool will be elevated a couple feet because we live by a marsh and we get some minor back yard flooding a couple times per year. This is the max width we can...

I will definitely add a manual cover for that ledge, thank you!

I realize someone could drown in a puddle if the situation lined up. My biggest worry was somehow a child got into the back yard and jumped in the deep end of the pool when they couldn't swim. We also have a locking fence surrounding the area. We have a door alarm on the only door leading...

That would be optimal, but unfortunately we are restricted by set backs to the max dimensions it is now. I was just talking to my builder and he said we could do a step up at the end of the sun shelf to be flush with the cover so it completely closes off the main pool. The step will have...

That is a valid concern, I will need to talk with out builder about how this would work and what other options there may be.

Thank you for the tips about the depth, I will definitely discuss that with my builder during our meeting tomorrow!

Thanks for the feedback. I think we will use thr sunshelf, I'm thinking maybe 12 inches deep. I like the idea of going 4 feet in the shallow end. I'm not sure what wall you are referring too. There is no wall near the pool. There is a fence to the rear. Here are a couple more renderings.

Hello, we are in the design phase of a pool for our back yard. Our current design represents the max size we can do with current set backs. The pool will be used for swimming and play for the family (my wife, two young boys, and myself). I wouls like it to also be a nice place to lounge with...
