We opened up the bidding on our pool project to another local pool builder. Actually - he used to be active on this forum. Seems to have a great local reputation.
That being said - if we go with them, we are leaning towards their "Custom Monogram Pebble Blue" finish. I believe this is a custom Pebble finish made for them by CL Industries.
Does anyone have experience with this finish? How about Cl Industries pebble finishes in general.
We have 3 VERY active kids. Our pool will likely be used for basketball, volleyball, dogs, rough housing...etc. I know that any gunite pool is going to have some sort of HARD and ROUGH finish....lets face it - they are all cement based products as we are not lining the pool with feathers...but still - I wonder if Ill regret how rough a pebble finish is? I love the potential durability of a pebble finish....but have a few concerns about the "feel". If its really like an orange peel - I think its fine....
I would love to know if this finish is smooth enough for my kids (and lets be real....also for me) to "play" in the pool without bleeding.
Again - I do realize that if you drag your foot across any cement product (sidewalk, etc)..that its going to hurt and may bleed. But still - Im hoping the finish is smooth enough to not contribute to additional injuries.
Also - we do plan on visiting other local pools to see and feel it in person - but I was hoping someone on here may have some input.
Thank You!
