Just want to start by saying this forum is awesome, and I have been lurking for a while. We are nearing the end of our pool project, and I have consulted this forum and site for so many of the decisions I have made for design and equipment.
The reason I am posting today is due to some concerns we have about how steep of a drop off we have from our decking. Mostly my wife is concerned that since it is so steep, we need to address that in some fashion and in her words "do something" so that there is not such a massive drop off because "kiddos are going to hurt themselves".
Early on our PB wanted to put 2 steps into our tanning ledge and then step down the decking as a partial solution for the 18" inch drop off from the back of the house to the back of our yard. We didn't like the way that looked or the way the steps encroached on the tanning ledge in that design.
So there are only a few ways I can think of to address this, add more concrete decking closer to the edge of the fence (no easement there to be concerned with) or build up some kind of rock/flower-plant bed there.
I am open to what you guys think would be the best way to address this, and really appreciate the help in advance!!
