Forgive me if this product has been discussed, but my search results found no discussions. Has anyone used the Spider Tie Wet product for building a complete concrete pool and if so what are your thoughts?
I have run the gambit on deciding what type of pool to build. I wanted a concrete pool but quickly found out that Gunite was not in my budget even with me as the builder so I had pretty much locked in on building a vinyl liner pool but I just recently ran across this product and it looks extremely doable for a DIYer. My only hesitation is that I cannot find much information from people who have actually used it. All the commentary I find online seems to be only from the manufacturer.
The other strange thing is that when you do a Google search for "Spider Tie Wet", not only do you get the link for the company that makes it, there are also links to National Pool Wholesalers (NPW). But no where can you find a mention of Spider Tie on NPW's website. At the same time, Spider Ties' website mentions NPW by name and even sales Spider Tie kits designed to work specifically with pool kits sold by NPWs. It leaves me wondering if NPW had a relationship with Spider Tie and broke it off for some reason or if they are about to launch a joint marketing deal and Spider Tie just got ahead of them. Is this a new product for pool building or am I just running across it?
"ANY" information good or bad on the product would be greatly appreciated.
