    How do you figure needed depth for a grotto that people will jump off of ??

    I'm suppose to finalize my pool drawing this week and dig hopefully next week. I am putting in a mini cave grotto and want people to be able to jump from the top of it if they want. I'm sure lots of kids will and some adults (including myself). I'm going to tell people no diving, but want to...

    Getting ready to start build, but thinking about changing depth in deep end ???

    The original plan was for a diving board but i told my builder my wife and I would rather have a grotto with cave instead. I want our children, other kids and possibly adults to be able to jump off of it like this video link will show you. My question is, how deep should i have the deep end...

    After a lot of thinking on it, i finally signed a contract today with a PB.

    This is going to be a huge investment, but the more I thought on it, i feel like this is something my children will enjoy growing up, and hopefully we'll continue to enjoy it on into retirement age with my wife and future grandchildren. There are other options i have to add or replace certain...

    Stamped concrete vs Pavers vs ???

    I'm still in the process of getting quotes from builders to build a pool, but playing with the idea of doing stamped concrete. I've already had two builders tell me it's worth it to just by-pass doing stamped concrete and pay the extra money for pavers instead. I may end up having to just...

    Anyone regret building a vinyl liner pool vs concrete or fiberglass?

    I was all over these forums last year, gathering information, and reading as much as i could on pool builds. The pros and cons of concrete vs vinyl pools. I even talked with a couple PB's and got some quotes last summer. Just could not pull the trigger yet, because the shape and design i...

    Talking with PB about freeform designs and i have a question

    Started talking with my local PB guy who everyone has recommended to me. He's given me a couple quotes on two different size pools... 20 x 40 and 18 x 36. He's saying i'll get about 700 sq ft of actual pool with the 20 x 40, and 550 sq ft. out of an 18 x 36 freeform. How do you figure square...

    Looking to build first new pool in my backyard. Vinyl or Concrete?

    I'm currently in the process of getting quotes to build a pool in my backyard. I'm leaning towards an 18 x 40 freeform concrete pool. I have lots of trees in my backyard, plus wild animals and my big dogs that could potential get into the pool which is why i'm leaning towards concrete over...
