I think we are going to have the SR Smith Artisan ladder (ART-1003) and rail (ART-1004) put in. Our pool will be a salt pool, the SR Smith site suggests getting the “marine grade” versions. Anyone have any experience with this, would it matter more for the ladder since it’ll be in the water...

Ok, thanks...that was a concern since our kids are 6 & 8 that if friends are over it maybe helpful.

I wasn’t clear with how the layout with the slide will be...the center bench where the slide wraps around will be blocked in on the back b/c it will have a waterfall/sheer decent kinda mini grotto setup...so you won’t be able to use that one to get out. There is the one deep end bench on the...

Some updates from the past couple weeks: steel, gunite, plumbing, equipment in. Electrical is scheduled for 12/1 and gas line for heater 12/3. There will be a slide coming around the one center bench and going into the deep end (8’). There is the one deep end bench opposite to get in/out which...

Yes, was definitely thinking close to the door for the reason you and others have stated. One thought I had was putting hot tub to the right side of the pic so it would be closer to the shallow end of the pool...maybe easier to go between there and pool but I don’t know, that’s why looking for...

Rebar was done today, they’re gonna clean up near the house. Gonna have patio go near the house so we have a sitting area, eating table, and outdoor kitchen area. Would also like to have a stand alone hot tub. Open to suggestions on where best location for hot tub would be.

Thanks! I couldn’t remember but think I got it

Our intention was not to have a built in spa, that was just the very original designer’s mock up. So we decided to not have the spa from the start when we started talking pricing so there was no need to credit back (yeah, built-in spa would have been more expensive by a good bit and I know you...

Permits finally were approved, had to wait a little for tree removal but dig started this week. I’m not sure how to post pics yet. Rebar is supposed to be this weekend...

Any recommendations for flooring for inside family room and entryway leading to powder room that isn’t slippery for people/kids that are coming/running in from pool to bathroom? We have old carpet that will be ripped out in family room and tile in entryway and powder room that is slippery so...

For shallow end water depth...do you have a recommendation? Do people do 4’ water depth or is the wall height 4’ typically?

My wife’s brother just bought a house that had an existing pool and a fairly simple rock waterfall which she liked...more for just the relaxing sound that it brought to the while backyard...so we will see, really need to get a better idea of the water feature design and cost to see if is...

Met with PB today, discussed going to 40’ long x 18’ wide rectanwith 8’ deep end and removing the spa. This would now make the tanning ledge run the width of the pool and be 18’ x 6’. Need to get an updated rendering. Can switch to gas heater which is my preference. No additional cost for...

Is it better to have a gunite pool shot this fall and have everything finished in the spring if the PB can accommodate with scheduling or have then start everything in the spring?
