    Unusual Pool Basin Colors - Any Examples? Any Thoughts?

    I'm working on a theme to my swimming area, which is near the guest house. I have an idea that will tie everything in together, but it doesn't really work with a normal white or light blue swimming pool basin. I'm considering other colors for the pool basin. I've seen pictures on Google of...

    Slide - End In The Water, Not Above It?

    Planning a pool and dealing with trees and leaves

    I'm starting the planning stages of building a swimming pool. While we have a decent amount of acreage, there is really only one place that works for a pool, which is by an old cinder block barn a few hundred feet from the house. There is an abandon former-cesspool near the old pig barn...

    Hello from a Total Neophyte in Richmond, VA

    Just saying, "Hi!" to everyone. I've never lived where I could have my own pool before and now we have a large lot with an old barn on it. We're turning the barn into a recreation area and I'm going to be building a swimming pool near it. (So I guess that means the barn is also our pool...
