Can we do a vinyl liner IGP with a fiberglass add-on tanning ledge outside the pool perimeter that overflows into the pool? Also we have dogs, is vinyl over steel steps a bad idea? Should we go with the preformed steps to be safe from dogs damaging steps.

For perspective the house is 98' end to end, and 48' wide. We have a lot of room to work with in the rear of the house Pool size is what were trying to decide, we have a decent size family... four sons, one is married, and three grankids so far. We live in a really rural area, nearest full...

It's pretty well wide open, no serious elevation issues to deal with.

My only concern is dealing with groundwater. Were sitting on all grey clay, not sure how deep but I know it's down to six feet at least because thats how deep my perk test pits were when we built.

That liner is 3'4" at both ends with 5'6 in the middle. You're 5'6 depth is reached at 17' from both ends giving you 10 ft of flat bottom in the center. That's how I read it, anyway.

Sorry Sorry, need to change that... our AGP bit the dust several years ago.

Wondering if a DIY build with a kit from somewhere like Pool Wharehouse is a good option vs the cost of paying a pool store to install. Can I really save enough to make the headache worth it, or is it as straight forward as Pool Wharehouse makes it seem?

Am I correct that the deep end has to be 24ft from the back wall to the start of the transition? If so, would a 20x50 be good, that would still give us about equal space in both the deep and shallow ends. Is minimum 3ft at shallow end sloping to 5ft ar beginning of transition a good slope...

I'm in south Arkansas, about one mile from the AR/LA line. What about an L with a 20x30 shallow end and a 20x20 deep end?

Ha! No, I'm not sure.... my wife agrees with you, she says I tend to overbuild everything. I might could compromise with a 20'x40'.

Planning stage, decided on an inground liner pool. We have a decent size family, 4 sons, two are married, three grankids so far. I'm thinking 30'x60' with a tanning ledge at th shallow end and steps on both sides of the shallow end....maybe seats in the sides of the deep end, or corners of the...

Ground is grey clay (crawfish love it) deep south Arkansas. What would be our best choice, and a rough estimate for complete install including concrete decking surounding the pool. Weve previously had a 32ft x 54" AGP that ended in disaster when the wall rusted behind liner, busted, and...

Whoa! That's a ton of questions I never thought of. Thanks!
