Hello everyone!
I have been a silent member since 2018 – This is my very first post. As of 2018 the idea of building a pool was not popular in my household – essentially my wife did not want it. So, I spent my time dreaming about it and silently enjoying all the build posts and other information on this site. Kudos to this site -really appreciate the sharing. I eventually got familiar with Structural Studios and have been playing with pool designs like a little kid. Anyway, fast forward to now, not sure between COVID pandemic, lock down, stay at home etc and my throwing in that “life is short; ‘vacation at home’, ‘bring the resort to you’ blah blah blah, my wife is now on board – so it’s a go. Never owned or built a pool before so excited about it all.
I’ve posted my latest sketch - attached
Update: Pool build just began - nothing close to what I posted before
New Specs:
Size: 36 x 16 rectangular
Depth: 3.5 - 6 ft
7 x7 raised spa (half in pool )
Pool is more like a L-shaped lap pool –
Dimensions: 17’6”x46’x36’,
Depth: 4’ – 5’8”
Swim-up bar (4 stools)
Sunken patio area with bar center, lounge seat walls, TV mount wall (under smaller patio cover)
Large patio cover (existing – will keep)
Hot-tub (to purchase later – but sunken location would be part of the build)
Still deliberating between vinyl and gunite. Just starting to look for pool builders. Would appreciate recommendations in my area.
Thanks
