Hello everyone, I need some help to make the best decision.
We are building our vinyl pool this Summer (probably July/August, weather pending). I attached the project for better visualization.
Basically is a 16x36 rectangular pool with a tanning shelf. We have 2 boys, ages 5 and 8. They are very active.
We DO NOT want a very deep end. 8 feet is 100% out of question, we don't want a slider or a diving board. My kids don't dive other than occasional cannonball. When they grow up, I don't want them diving either, LOL. Plus extra water, extra heating costs, etc... Not something my family is looking for.
The initial project was for a deep end of 5'6''. however, what If I want that deep end to be usable for adults (like standing comfortably)?? Isn't that too deep for that purpose? I know some people have used 5 feet deep.
Should I go 5 feet deep? My PB says that 5 feet deep end is more than enough for kids to do cannonballs. My friend has a pool and my kids were doing cannonballs on his shallow end (which was 3.5 feet) without any issues. Anyone with similar set up care to chime in??
I attached the pool drawing.
thank you for your input!
