Hey Guys!
I'm just learning about pools through reading the forum. We have a small pool in our backyard and initially we were going to just do a renovation however given the size free form 11 X 22 we decided if we were going to spend the money to remodel we might as well make it larger. So basically we are doing a whole new build after we demo the existing pool.
I do not have as many specifics as it seems you all usually put on your new builds. But here it goes.
-Gunite free form pool - 16 X 32 (depends on what fits in the space may be slightly larger) along with 7 foot spa that flows into pool
-PB uses Hayward Equipment and Automation ( I have requested the product names and model numbers- he is supposed to get back with me)
- SWG- Turbocell 40k
-2 Skimmers
-1 light in main pool (plan to ask for 2) and 1 light in spa
-Depth- thinking 3.5 to 5 foot (although considering 5.5)
- Pavers for decking (considering Belgard)- I love a light grey haven't decided yet though
- uncertain for coping yet (PB uses flagstone for his free forms- however I know the forums say SW can deteriorate and I'm not in love with the look)
- PebbleSheen- Blue Surf I think is where I am leaning
- 6X6 tiles- TBD
Again, I am very new with all of this so be kind. I am at a loss for what type of coping is available for free form pools that is not flagstone. Also don't think I want travertine (I love the look) but think it will be slippery and I have a toddler.
Open to any suggestions. Thanks.
