    What is a good depth for the shallow zone of a pool

    Elwood58, If the tapering is for drainage I like your layout better, 3 1/2 at each side and taper to the middle to 4 1/2. Thats a better design then the way we have it now. Food for thought. Looking for that happy medium between to shallow and to deep, if it exists!! Thanks for your kind...

    What is a good depth for the shallow zone of a pool

    We are going to build a inground L shaped pool and was wondering what depth is a good depth for the shallow leg. The dimensions of the pool will be 45 x 20 and 36 x 18.

    What is a good size for a L shaped pool?

    Calling insurance is a good thing to do. We did that and they have no problem with the pool depth, slide or diving board. No increase in premiums. But we went and added an umbrella policy for couple hundred dollars a year. It covers far more then potential claims with the pool but any other...

    Light colored pavers are they hard to keep clean

    Davelinde you just made me a little nervous. We are ready to purchase, from Artistic pavers, corallock in ivory for both coping and pavers. If I could get away with power washing it once or twice a swimming season I'll be ok with it.

    Light colored pavers are they hard to keep clean

    We are considering artistic pavers for the pool deck. We like the very light colors but I'm a little concerned about how much work they might be in keeping them clean, verses a darker paver? I want a cooler surface but I don't want to be out there on a weekly bases pressure washing them. Anyone...
