Pool will be an 18x30 and as you can see from my totally not-to-scale and very poorly illustrated diagram, the yard slopes out on the back end furthest from the house. The "backside" of the pool will not be the primary lounge area so I was hoping to do minimal decking around that far end. The installer said they typically don't do less than 3 feet of deck because of drainage and concerns over vinyl liner float. They did say that in my case, given the topography, it would "probably be fine" to go with 18" of deck around the backside however it would void any warranty as relates to liner float.
So my question is - how risky is this idea? My rudimentary understanding of water properties makes me think it should seek the path of least resistance to the lower land behind That said, I'm already at the bottom of a hill, there's a creek behind the house, and our lot grade was raised up with fill dirt because of flood zone designation.
