Hi,
From everything I've read, edge pools seem to be costlier to build, harder to maintain, and slightly more prone to trouble due to their added complexity.
We're planning to build a 10 x 30 ft rectangular pool with an attached "baja shelf" area that will be another 9 x 9 ft. Concrete pool with tile surface.
Several local pool builders with whom we discussed the project claimed an edge pool is going to be better in the long term, despite a higher initial cost. I think it makes no sense, but since we can afford it - I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something important.
Assuming I don't care about the edge illusion, are there real benefits to an edge pool I should consider? All I see so far are added complexity, maintenance and potential issues...
