Hi There! I was wondering how you were making out with the foam pool cover. Any signs of wear and tear? I am interested in the same product (Blue Shield) and have asked for a sample to be sent. Our pool is in the Cayman Islands, but even so, it's pretty nippy in the winter time to swim, so I'm...

Fabulous picture. This is the kind of thing that you can't find on the internet! You don't see it until you actually build your own pool and if you don't like the look then, well it's too late. Really appreciate this pic and you taking it and posting it here!! Thanks so much! warm regards...

Thanks a million ac!! Really helpful to see your pics. I am leaning more towards the adhesive method as well. Like you say, if one pops off, shouldn't be too difficult to replace with a new bead of adhesive. I will look up the adhesive that was used for your project. I've also posted a question...

Your pool is gorgeous! Thanks for sending the pic with the poured cantilever deck. Looks really well done with clean lines. Definitely an option for me to consider for the coping. We will use tumbled cement pavers for the deck. warm regards, Northern Lights

Yes, we will. I assume the project will look something like that. I had heard that mortar should not go on fiberglass, so I was thinking that the mortar would be used to attach the back portion of the brick, but something was still needed to attach the front of the brick on top of the...

This product sounds promising. Don't know if any PB on this site has used Sika products or this one in particular. Acrylic resin sounds similar to fiberglass to me. Sika UltimateGrab polyurethane adhesive. Excellent adhesion on all cement-based materials, brick, ceramics, glass, metals...

Thanks so much for the Laticrete suggestion. I think I will follow up with them and ask about the product you suggested or if they have any specific products that they would recommend. Buying something more expensive, if it works, is a good trade-off for me. When I do a search for suitable...

Thanks so much for your advice Kris! Even if you don't have direct experience with this, it's great to discuss problem with others who know so much more than me. One good thing, our PB is very experienced with FG pools, and they are installed beautifully, level and perfect when he is finished...

This^^^ cantilevered concrete..nothing looks worse than the exposed rim of a fiberglass pool... Screams out bathtub. In your climate though I wouldn't foresee a problem with paver coping by someone in the know. Kris Hi Kris, Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I prefer my bathtubs in the...

Thanks for the suggestion - I really appreciate your reply. We have already purchased rough tumbled concrete paver bricks that look kind of like natural stone. I'm not sure how a poured concrete cantilever coping would look with our deck. Also, I haven't seen any that our PB has done, so I'm a...

Hi There, I've heard that having concrete pool coping bricks on a fiberglass pool is a recipe for disaster. Our PB told us that he foresees a maintenance problem down the road with loose bricks. Despite this advice, I still want to go ahead because I really dislike the look of the fiberglass...

Hi Everyone! We are building a vacation home and pool in the Cayman Islands. Pool construction will begin in a couple of months. I've got a lot to learn from the folks on this site and some key construction questions. Never owned a pool before, so I don't know much about how they work...
