We're doing a part DIY pool! Our 18x36 vinyl pool kit has been ordered from Pool Warehouse, we need to figure out placement of pool before getting a permit from the county. We're located in Frederick, MD, we have clay soil.
We have an experienced pool builder who is going to guide us for some parts of the build, he mentioned that he'd recommend putting the vinyl pool right next to the deck as there is minimal sloping (18" or so) in that area, we would have to move the existing hot tub somewhere else. Our original idea was to put the pool in front of the hot tub that way we would have a clear shot view from inside of the house (making lunch, dinner etc while our kids swim) and we wouldn't have to move the hot tub, however there is some more slope (30" over 18' span for the pool in that area).
We'd very much rather the latter, the guy from Pool Warehouse didn't see any issue with the slope. I attached pictures of our backyard and drawings (not perfect yet). Any thoughts?
