Unfortunately the one liner we seem to really like, has ZERO pics anywhere. We are looking at Royal Amber, which has pics on latham website, but it looks lighter on web than the actual sample. Actual sample is a very dark blue, which we are afraid of getting. Although it definately will fade over time, so that could be a good thing. Just worried it might look to lagooney(is that a word?)

Maybe ask for a referral to an actual pool with the liner you want so you can see it in person or at least contact the person for pictures.

Ask the builder, Latham and GLI for referrals that are ok with a visit or email.

Builder has never used that one, and it seems like a rare one. Maybe because its so dark. It does seem like the darkness of it lightens up with water in it, if that makes sense?

Looks also depend on the location as well. Cloudy skies create a totally different look than clear blue ones. Even seeing it in-person at someone’s home can look different.

Blue dyes are the most susceptible to bleaching. There’s really nothing you can do about it. Water + UV + chlorine eventually degrades and fades anything. Neutral colors like greys and tans are better but they will still fade with time. The liner above the water line will age faster than below. And none of that will be covered under any warranty (since they’re written to favor the manufacturer).

Yes, that happened with our line on our previous pool. Although this dark one we like is made from a dark blue vinyl, not sure if that will help it fading to almost white, like our last pool did.
 
Back again, overthinking everything. So my pool equipment pad will be on the southern side of the house, which does get full sun most of the day. NO, I cant move it somewhere else, and build a structure over it will be prohibited with my HOA. I do plan on covering it somewhat with arborvitaes, but that's just a screen, to block it from the neighbors seeing it from the street(OH THE HORROR! LOL). Anyone have any other ideas to protect it? It is what it is, at this point, and it cannot be moved. Appreciate any advice.

Pool equipment is designed to be in the uv/ weather year round so don’t fret too much about it.
The screen of shrubs will provide some protection from uv while allowing for airflow. Some people who experience extreme uv exposure fashion individual shields for select equipment like the pumps or swcgs. There are also premade covers for pumps.
There’s quite a few threads here about it.

My equipment sits on the west side of our casita and is open to the southern exposure. So it gets blasted with intense sunlight, heat, and UV all day. It certainly has taken a toll on everything but I’m in year 12 and my pool equipment is still operational with some minor repairs over the years (unrelated to exposure, just normal maintenance fixes). As long as you can provide some shade, the equipment will be fine.

They (the HOA) won’t allow some kind of decorative fence?? That seems weird. Most CCRs actually DEMAND that you cover and screen visible equipment.

No Fence, only landscaping to block it. originally they were trying to force me to put it behind the house so it couldn't be seen at all. Believe it or not, my HOA is laid back compared to most.
 
We use oleander or hopbush for hedging in these parts. Both are very drought and cold tolerant and can be easily trimmed into a dense hedging. Fairly low water need too to get them started. Most local nursery’s or ag extensions can give you alternatives if arborvitae don’t suit your fancy. I know a lot of people that hate them.

I'm actually not a fan of arborvitae due to them getting diseases easily, although I do think they look nice. I do want some sort of evergreen.

I’m becoming a fan of holly. They stay green and certain varieties can be made to grow tall vs wide/bushy. And they can be pruned without creating a big dead spot that never recovers.
