Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete.***DONE***FREE PIZZA* Here it is anything over 30 inches requires 36 inch guard. I planned ahead and made the posts to accommodate 36 inch rails if we wanted to change. The rest is standard building code. Worst case scenario it's ready to have the correct...

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete.***DONE***FREE PIZZA* Local inspector? Codes? What's that? I inspected it and I liked it so it passed. I live in the most rural area of my small county. My closest neighbor is 300 yards away with no kids. I'm not worried about codes or inspectors out here...

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete.***DONE***FREE PIZZA* LOL. Dang pizza guy got lost. Thanks for the comments. I am thinking of using fishing rope netting to hang around the bottom of the deck instead of the lattice. A mast with a rope so the kids and swing into the pool, might be...

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete. The deck is done. Just need to add post caps and lattice underneath. Time to enjoy the pool the rest of the season.

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete. Added a fountain today. In honor of Shark Week the girls named it Hammer Head.

Beautiful water. Too cold here in Ohio too.

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete. I will check them to see, if they are not I will replace them. Thanks for the help.

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete. A friendly Lowes expert helped gather everything, told him everything should be for schedule 40 and for water under pressure for a pool pump. He seemed knowledgeable to my needs so I let him help me out. If these are the incorrect type of 90's I should be...

Re: NOOB Pool and deck almost complete. So the hard plumb is complete. Fixed all the leaks. Please look it over and let me know if there is something I could have done better or any potential problems. I can't find any issues at the moment the system is working good with no loss of pressure and...

Re: Through Wall Skimmer on Rectangular Intex Ultra Frame UP Fear not the cutting of the liner. I just installed hard plumbing and the Hayward wall skimmer. The installation of the skimmer was the easiest thing I've done to the pool yet. In fact, it's the only thing that did NOT leak after the...

+1 for teflon tape. It doesn't work. I need to redo my connections with a paste. Congrats however on your progress thus far. I am glad Jim is doing better. Great news.

Re: NOOB Pool Not Level. What should I do? Thanks. It's a lot of fun. As for the hard plumbing on the pool, I went cheap on the valves and I don't like them. One of the handles leaks. Also, I only used teflon on all the screw on connections so I have leaks everywhere. I plan on using Oatey's...

Re: NOOB Pool Not Level. What should I do? With the pool being so far from the house, I also built a new storage shed. A lot of firsts for me this summer. First pool. First deck. First shed. I owe it all to youtube and Lowes.

Re: NOOB Pool Not Level. What should I do? Switching gears from the deck to installing the Hayward wall skimmer and hard plumbing. Installing the skimmer was uneventful. That's all for now. I have a couple leaks I need to deal with tomorrow.

Re: Installing an in-wall skimmer tomorrow, questions about Did you have to get another 1.5 threaded piece to come out of the skimmer? It comes with a barbed one for a hose. I'm lost..... :hammer:
