After many years of wanting a pool, and months of lurking here, I’ve decided to take the “plunge”. I was originally thinking of fiberglass due to the time it takes to install. However, I’m now thinking concrete since I can customize and have a deeper pool. My kids are 13 and 15, with one being a gymnast. She’s going to be the dare devil, so I want to make sure she stays safe. Anyone else’s kid wants to jump in the pool from a trampoline? Just typing that makes my pulse quicken. My son just wants to be able to kick a soccer ball from one end to the other into a goal.
No matter the material, I plan to have a rectangular pool with tanning deck and attached spa at the same level. I’m thinking of a 18/20’x 40’. I’m wondering if that’s too big? LOL- I’ve read posts where people say there’s never a complaint of a pool being too big... but it’s just me and my teenage kids (widow). I’m nervous I’m taking on a project too much for us/ me.
I’m still getting quotes and I’m surprised at how the concrete and fiberglass quotes are coming in at the same price. I need to get a few more concrete quotes just to even it out and decide which way to go. Regardless, I know to upgrade to SWG and a VSP... the others I have saved as reference when tweaking the plans. I’m hoping to sign by next weekend, as long as the quotes aren’t delayed.
