Some of y'all had seen my leak thread a couple of months ago. The leak was detected, but it was too cold to repair at the time. That didn't seem to matter, since the water table rose from flooding and floated the bottom of my pool liner, which subsequently caused it to crack. At that point, we needed a new liner and it made sense to just remodel the old rectangle to modernize it a bit.
In order to do that, we first decided that we would forego the traditional vinyl liner and opt for the commercial PVC membrane (which is constructed on site) to allow us to change the shape of the pool. The biggest issue with the pool was that it had no stairs and only ladders. The decision was made to put stairs in the pool from an added splash pad. The splash pad will have 2 bubblers plumbed to them for increased modernization (This pool has no water features currently).
Last, but not least, we decided to replace the coping with some new contrasting Oklahoma flagstone. This would get rid of the track system with the ugly white plastic covering.
This project began by caulking lines to cut the deck and remove the coping, trench for the plumbing to the bubblers (they used 2" PVC in 2 separate lines to balance the bubblers rather than t them off), and removal of some flagstone to extend the pool back to include the splash pad.
I haven't seen any PVC membrane builds here yet so this should be interesting. Photos of current progress below. Will continue to add as time goes on.
