Too add to this, I have been looking from the beginning of March. I think there might be more to this than increase demand.

Yes, thanks for the insight. Good idea to buy at closeout end of season. Unfortunately, I don't have many options for local. Especially the specific 15*48 size. I had planned to look around, but I am not hopeful.

We buy an Intex EasySet pool (15*48) each summer for my kiddos (we found that it isn't worth patching the numerous holes after winter storage). Usually the cost is $199-220 through amazon suppliers. This year the EasySet pools are pretty much unavailable, and when you can find a 15*48 the cost...

I want to do something similar (rafters, not true ceiling- hopefully keep cost down). I planned on ceiling fan with light and LED bistro string lights along perimeter etc. Will give a "fun" vibe at night. Beware, they are not cheap.

People are putting these on sunshelfs without issues as well. Correct?

Have you seen the chairs? I'm thinking maybe to do the chairs on the sunshelf and keep the laying on a comfortable chaise on deck.

Err, my budget is no where near 150-200k :oops:. Not many in Arkansas would pay that kind of money for a pool. Although a infinity edge would be pretty with my view etc., I don't want to spend the extra $$, have to fight the pH, and have the kids fall over it:p

Hello TFP. Planning (hoping) to put in a pool starting 1.5-2 years from now. I'm a planner:D We live in central Arkansas on a small mountain, practically solid rock, backyard off existing concrete patio slopes downward. So some sort of retaining system, wall system will be required. I would...

And. Did you ever design/consider a slide in the rock grotto? With kids and all. Too much $$$ I think for myself. It's all ridiculous ??

Oh and what kid of spraydeck is that? Texture, color?

Thank you for the details! Wow and wow! Not sure if I can have a pool up to 25 feet wide. We are building on a slope and the wider the more retaining wall we'll need. I'm happy to see your depth arrangement. It is similar to what I was thinking, including not much gradient. Start at 3.5...

I believe your pool will be my inspiration pool! HA! I have been interested in a jumping grotto scenario. I see you mentioned the 6.5' deep end (that is was I was thinking to do too). How shallow is the shallow end? What are the rough dimensions of the pool itself? I love the spraydeck. I...

Any idea on how long these tend to last without fading etc?

Wow. Very nice looking pool. How deep is your deep end? Will the rocks be for jumping?

That's pretty cool BMK. How many hrs do you get off of the propane tank? How much heat? Although I absolutely love the idea of built in fire pit with wood, I'm just trying to be realistic on how many times we'll use it. Don't get me wrong, we do a lot of outdoor cooking with pellets and...

Thanks for confirming my thoughts. A portable option that can be bought in the future may be the way to go - - - Updated - - - Oh I know. I have worked in kitchens and a pizzeria. We will have been cooking on an uuni Pro for about a year before we decide if we're going to upgrade or not.

So, how do you guys like your fire pits? I am in the early stages of designing my pool and backyard (in my head and paper). I love the idea of a fire pit, but honestly, wondering how much would we really use it. I think I would rather increase pool size and have money go towards the pool...

love the color. thank you for the inspiring pics!

I am a little bit farther north than you in Little Rock, AR. 2 friends of mine with SWGC vinyl lined pools do not close them for the winter.

Oooh. Waiting on responses......

Woot Woot! Where in AR? I'm in LR. Hope to start building in a year or so, not diy.

I wish there was a like button

I don't have a sspecific design yet, but if you Google tanning ledge and scroll through images, you will see lots of examples. Could do sheer descent or water cascading off. I'm not sure how much more $ for construction of it outside vs inside pool, but it will of course cost more. I'm...

Loving what you go going on there. Your situation sounds similar to mine. I'm thinking about not doing deep end/diving, but have a jumping stone and ~6.5' depth just around the stone. Our terrain (a slope on solid rock), wanting as much walkable/usable pool area, plus hoping to save a bit of...

I was looking at HFS too for an unsecured loan. 6.99% (good credit) and 4% lender processing cost rolled into loan.

Those are my top picks and I wonder about which way to go too. I hope you keep us updated with photos!

I'm open to any opinion. But, looking like starboard/durastyle will be more costly, so a no go I guess. I'[ll look into the Sapele!

Has anybody used the product called Starboard/ King DuraStyle for outside kitchen cabinets? I think it's some sort of plastic base material and the color runs all the way through. The stuff supposed to be practically indestructible and cuts like wood. I'll have a basic L-shaped kitchen...

Just curious if in anyone's experience in obtaining bids/quotes at different times of the year resulting in a lower bid. Say obtaining a quote in Sept/October for starting construction in January/Feb.
