I recently demolished an old concrete pool deck and poured another during a recent pool renovation job for one of my customers. I salvaged some of the smaller pieces and made a small rock wall and planter box next to my pool. Now I have to fill it with dirt and plant something there. I'm not a...

I built this little picket fence to make a play area for our puppy dog next to the pool. Was a fun project!

I'm not sure what forum catagory to place this question in, so moderators please move this if necessary. Is there a forum that pool service professionals can discuss their business issues and such? I know of several for the landscaping business, and they are quite helpful when you have a...

I'm looking at a new 24 ft round and I'm also looking at getting a professional installer. Any ideas of a ballpark range for prices in Texas? Thanks in advance!

I built this fountain for my AGP deck. I used a fiberglass pot from the nursery and some 4" PVC pipe painted brown. I had an old well hand pump that I plumbed into a feed off of the main pump system. The picture makes it kind of hard to see but water is flowing out of the hand pump spout. It...

I have a 12x24 AGP that has a standard issue skimmer basket. This is the only suction inlet to the pump and filter. I want to be able to run a ladybug or similar auto-vacuum, and while at the same time, run the skimmer basket also. I can easily plug the vacuum hose into the skimmer basket drain...
