    Under Contract - Gunite pool! - Design help wanted on tanning shelf depth and overall depth!

    Thank you so much for all of your info!! Our pool has now been dug and we did go with a 12-in depth of the tanning ledge. We also decided to change our pool depth so that it begins at 4 ft and goes to 6. I'm very excited to see it taking shape and waiting now for the steel. :) Thanks again!

    Under Contract - Gunite pool! - Design help wanted on tanning shelf depth and overall depth!

    Ok thank you! It would probably play basketball and volleyball but the kids but also like to play in the deep end doing cannonballs and diving for rings and Marco Polo and such so maybe I'll leave it the way we have it then. :)

    HI! After many months of research and several quotes from PBs, we finally decided on a PB and type/size of pool! We are getting a double roman 18x36 gunite pool with a tanning ledge (sun shelf). So far we are planning to have the pool go from 3.5-6ft deep. (See rough pool layout picture...

    Gunite vs. Vinyl Liner Pool in NJ

    HI! We are still making plans to build our first pool. We are now trying to decide between getting a gunite or vinyl liner pool. We are looking to get a tanning ledge and we were told that gunite would make more sense because of how easily vinyl can puncture with pets, chairs, etc. However...
