Hello,
I've been having some pool builders submit proposals for my new pool. So far, the process of choosing a PB is slow, but methodical. Consistently, one builder seems to keep floating to the top of the list in terms of quality of design, reputation, build, etc.. (and consequently, price...). This PB has been in business for over 80 years, and is one of the few PB's who still use skybars in it's construction. In this area, the clay content of the soil is somewhat high and expansive soils is a real issue.
So what are the pros/cons of using skybars or floating deck design in building pool/deck. What has been your experience re: pool tile falling off / concrete cracking in this respect? Thanks.
