Okay I am ready to take this project on, and I am having a hard time due to sittings areas and angled corners. This pool has a circular sitting area on the shallow end with a curved bench, and another sitting area on the deep end.
This is a schematic I made of the dimensions, I hope everyone is able to read it. Measurements written is black, circled, with "ft" inside are depths. The shallow end is 3' and the deep end is 5' with the sittings areas being 1' and 1.5' deep. The wall lengths are written in green along the sides. My thought was combining/merging some of these numbers? For instance the 2' long angled corners, should they be divided by 2 and then added to the adjoining wall lengths? For example: the deep end has a 12' long wall, so if I took 1' from each corner I could make the deep end 14' wide rather than 12' then add 1' to the 23' making that length 24' which squares off the corners. If I followed this method I would take the 20' length, and add 2', 3', and 1' of the corner for a total of 26' long. I thought about just rounding things too such as removing the deep end sitting area from the equation and just factoring that into the stairs by removing the volume consumed by the stairs themselves and making the stair corner just a 3' deep squared corner....I actually think I could use both the deep sitting area water volume added to the shallow sitting areas bench displacement and that would equal the stair displacment.
So if I measure from the two areas circled in red, I get a total of 26' so if I build off this theory I can add 1' of that corner to make a total of 27' from the deep end to the stairs right?
Then if I am able to just calculate the volume of this deep end sitting area @ 1' deep I can take this volume, put it aside and add it back to my squared off pool volume right??
