We're new pool builders and keep second-guessing ourselves on the design. We have 4 children (ages 4 to 16) and have large extended families, so entertain often with 20+ people. Critiques and suggestions welcome.
Pool size: 37 x 26 (tanning ledge takes up 8 ft of the 26)
Pool depth: 3.5-6
We are adding more decking on both ends of the pool
Questions:
1. Is having 2 tanning ledges not practical? We felt it allows more space for people to lounge. Some PBs told us it's wasted pool space. Would you ask for more than a 6 inch depth on the ledge?
2. Is the position of the spa close to the house ok? We didn't want to walk far to sit in the spa, especially during colder months when the spa will be the only thing we use. Would you position it somewhere else?
Thanks!
