Bench along entire length of pool?

[Dukeblue02]

Moved from here.
Quick question for you guys and this might sound crazy but my wife wants a bench that runs the whole length of our pool! It’s a 20’x45’ rectangular pool with sunshelf and spa within the pool so the bench would essentially run 45’ if you count the sunshelf on that side too. Is that way too much? We just thought it’d be nice for the kids to have rest esp in the deep end and adults could lounge around the pool. What do you guys think?
Also, with the spa inside the pool would you do the 24’ raised bond beam with 3 shear descents on the side with the spa or on the sunshelf side?

Hi and Welcome to TFP! Not crazy at all! There have been some like that. If you share a drawing of your pool I will give it the once over and make suggestions or reinforce what is right about it!

We have a bench running the entire side of the pool from our Baja shelf to the other side - we love it...

If I were to build a bench that long I would want several different levels so that everyone tall and short can find a comfortable depth.

We also ran our bench the entire length. The idea was to keep clean lines and give you a pace to sit anywhere.

We went with some separate benches to give that rest area in various places. The deep end benches also have a standing section. Our pool is 8 1/2’ deep.
