Long time lurker, first time poster. This will be our first pool build, so we would appreciate any feedback on design, specs, or both. A few points on the design/equipment:
* We're working with a fairly significant slope away from the back of the house, thus the 6' retaining wall on the back end.
* Our rear screened porch that abuts the pool deck is roughly 600 sq. ft. with a fireplace and other amenities, so we don't feel the need for an expansive pool deck.
* The planter on the rear side of the pool is intended to create privacy from a gravel road that runs behind our lot.
* We chose an extended length (43' at widest point) because we have two teenagers in competitive swimming.
* North Florida can experience fairly cold winters for 2-3 months out of the year, and we want to be able to heat the pool on certain occasions during that time period.
Total quote is about $120k with retaining wall (brick faced to match house) and fill dirt, but not including electrical work and landscaping (i.e., sprinkler relocations, sod, etc). We'll likely replace the pressure cleaner with a robotic cleaner.
