First-time post here! I've been browsing the forums for the past few months as I've been working through some design decisions...tanning ledge size, to automate, or not to automate, decking options, liner photos... so many choices to make! The forum has been a great resource and I'm close to signing off on our final design & quote which I'll share the details of below. A little background - our house is 6 yrs old, backs up to the woods, and we have some site constraints to work around. There's a slope in the rear corner that rises about 6 ft from our low point to high point where the shed sits, and we have a 12 ft side-yard setback that dictated the pool shape as well as our desire to work around our existing patio/fire pit setup. I'm an architect, so I had all the site CAD files from our construction so I used those to do the initial layout, but since I'm certainly no pool expert I traded files back and forth with our building until we settled on plan.
Here's a couple of photos of what we're starting with. The PB did an initial stake-out and survey of the grades and then we went back and forth and I stretched some of the dimensions so I've re-sprayed it which is why some of the lines are a little wobbly.
And here's what the new pool and decking will look like in plan view. Everything colored is new, and monochrome is existing.
And lastly, but most important here's the pool and equipment specs that are included in the base package:
17'x38' Mountain Lake (modified somewhat)
589sf (approx. 15,500 gallons by my math)
Polymer wall (Matrix) w/ Vinyl liner
Excavation & Machine Finish Grading
French Drain around entire perimeter with 4" PVC pipe to daylight
(2) 10" main drains (200GPM capacity) in 3" PVC
(2) separately piped skimmers in 2" Sch 40 PVC
(4) returns spaced around pool
Pentair System 3 Mod Media Cartridge Filter (300 Sq Ft)
Pentair Prowler 920 Robotic Cleaner
5x10 Concrete Equipment Pad
(3) Pentair GloBrite Lights & IntelliBrite Controller
100A Pool Panel & 50A 240v circuit to Filter Pad
GFI receptacle at Filter Pad
GFI receptacle at Pool for misc use
42" Sponge-Finish Cantilever Concrete Coping around entire perimeter
20mil vinyl liner (GLI)
Solar Cover
Water to fill pool
Brush, Hose, Pole, Net for Manual cleaning
Test Kit
Upgrades we've accepted:
Pentair IntelliFlo Variable Speed Pump ($825)
Pentair IntelliChlor ic40 SWCG ($1,350)
Upgraded electric run to pad for future Heat Pump ($200)
Full-End Vinyl Covered Steps, Bench & Sunshelf ($3,950)
6 ft Vinyl Covered Bench @ deep end ($1,750)
Additional concrete for 708 sf deck ($2,669)
Stamped concrete (708 sf) ($5,019)
13LF concrete steps ($1,100)
Pentair EasyTouch w/ ScreenLogic 2 app-based controls ($2,500)
(2) LED Lighted Bubblers in Sunshelf ($2,500)
GLI Mesh safety cover w/ pump ($3,650)
So there we have it. Anything look off or are we missing anything?
We're scheduled to start excavation in July (sooooo far away). I'll share progress pictures of the construction as it moves along. I still need to choose a liner and color/pattern for the stamped concrete (which we will not be sealing, by the way...we don't want a skating rink).
I'd love to hear any feedback anyone may have!
