    Pool deck experience with hot concrete pavers

    Attached are some pictures (before and after hurricane damage). In full sunlight they almost look totally white. Any other time, you can pick up the beige overtones. We are extremely happy with the choice for both color and coolness. In mid-August, we had some mid 90's days with heat index of...

    New Pool FL Panhandle/Fiberglass in sand/Starts 6/29/20

    Finally getting to see some light light at the end of tunnel. Last week they poured the concrete collar to secure pool and pilings. Equipment is installed and pumps are running. About 2” of sand in bottom of pool at it was filled with 3/4 water for 30 days. Lots of calcium hypochlorite to clear...

    New Pool Katy, Texas

    The coping looks great. Mine is being installed this week. What edge do you have on your coping? From the pictures it doesn’t look like bullnose. Is it an eased edge?

    My "New" Pool in SCHERTZ, TX

    Just an add on about preparing for an eventual heater/chiller. My pad is built 18” above the sand. Is it about 40“x60”. When the pump and CC420 filter were on it, it looked spacious. They put my Ultra Temp 120 HC on it this weekend and it took up a chunk of space. Aside from the pre-piping...

    Large travertine paver pattern question

    craigP. Thanks for post. I am fine with the 12x24. I will do a standard 50% offset from row to row. I made up some computers models and that was the best looking. Also considered a 25% offset and a chevron style. My pool deck is rectangular but a free form pool. Hopefully it will turn out well -...

    Pool deck experience with hot concrete pavers

    craigP It is the shell beige that is shown in the NPT hardscapes catalog as limestone. When we went to view it in full sun at the distributor last week, it looked even whiter/brighter. It is a second home so I am not there all the time. They are installing the coping some time this week. Due to...

    Pool deck experience with hot concrete pavers

    I was having this same concern as our pool (when completed) is completely in the sun with zero shade. I really did not like any of the choices of the Belgard pavers. Add to that the availabilty was difficult and could be 4-6 weeks. I wanted as close to white or beige as I could get. While it is...

    Large travertine paver pattern question

    Looks like they will be pouring the concrete collar for my pool deck next week. Total size of pool deck is 24' x 64' less the pool (freeform, about 500 square feet). Due to delays and availability, we choose to go with the 24" x 24" travertine (shell beige)that we could get now. This limits me...

    New Pool FL Panhandle/Fiberglass in sand/Starts 6/29/20

    Never owned or had a pool installed, so this should be an adventure. Imagine Pools (fiberglass) Brilliant 40' in Reef Blue. It is a free-form pool/spa combo approximately 16' x 40'. Since I am across from the ocean, it added some FEMA complexity. Contractor will install 8" pilings in proximity...
