Mike that's a very good point. The added height. I hadn't pictured that. We could possibly paint it I guess. I will look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yup the thing with the torpedo on it is the coping. When it's white it really sticks out as ABOVE GROUND COPING. That's one of the reasons I want to go over it with the decking. My lumber guy said I can put boards next to it but my landscaper said I can't put a board over it because there's...

I love Jack Russells. Of course I love all dogs. but I love the terriers because they have so much personality. They don't know they're small dogs!! I love really wide long steps. It encourages people to sit together like a city stoop, only it's better because it's your back yard. I like the...

If you mean the diagram I posted with the ovals? That's Photoshop.

Mike: nice! What is the material on the coping, is that decking board?

pooladdict: you are an artist! What would you do if you needed to get at the coping?

:wave: Hi! Yup I think the JW the EW are pretty similar. Do you have any larger pictures? My old eyes are having some difficulty.

Yup - but I look at it this way. (1) we're not tearing it up to put in a $30k inground; (2) we really feel no need to ever go to a hotel again! I'm ok with paying for the best, if Azek is the best. My local lumber yard says that he gets more complaints about Azek powder coming up (like hot...

techguy - that's a nice setup. I'm hoping to make mine look like an inground, so it's a different project. For composites it looks like Azek, Fiberon and Timbertech are probably it. And even then they're not without complaints. But I could make complaints about wood, too, nothing is perfect...

This one looks like it's a composite. From Teddy Bear Pools website. I like that the boards are laid parallel against the pool rather than perpendicular. [attachment=0:nes9kgqp]long_composite.jpg[/attachment:nes9kgqp]

Love it! Beautiful!

Hi inisfada! The good part about the semi inground is that the 2' above ground of wall really reduces the visitor population (frogs are down to zero since removing the berm). But it's really hard to get an inground look. People here say "it can be done" but that's got me about as far as I...

I am wondering if anyone has any pictures of having made a semi-inground look like an inground?

I had one suggestion of building a retaining wall that leaves a 1-inch gap before the pool wall. Would this be crazy money?

JohnT - Azek is on the top of my list. Though the lumber store I liked said people are having better luck with Fiberon. That surprised me based on my research. But he sells both. Would you have any examples of decks built with Azek -- or anything like what I'm trying to achieve?

Dave J. - I guess I'm asking "how"? So far no one I've spoken to gets what I'm trying to do. What kind of contractor should I be talking with?

Hello everyone. This is my first post! My husband and I live in southern New Hampshire. We have an Esther Williams Millenium semi-inground pool. It requires 1-2' be above ground. Is it possible to get an inground look when we re-do the deck/patio? We want to hide the coping but not cut off...
