Hi I’m new to this forum, live in Rockland County, NY and looking to install a rectangular IG 16 x 32 or 16 x 36 pool. The backyard is .39 acres and it’s only my husband, 15 yr. old son and I. If family comes by I’m hoping the size is sufficient. Couple of questions on the install, would you do fiberglass stairs to not take away “real estate” from the pool? We want as much 5’ depth as possible though off the steps we know it has to be 3’. My husband is wondering if the entire pool can be 5’ off the last steps.
In terms of the options as the budget I have is tight for the entire pool project including coping and pavers:
In terms of hardscaping, we have discussed bullnose coping and will look at paver costs around 2-3 sides of the pool for now.
What would you say is a budget to keep in mind for things not included in the pool cost?

- Pentair Globrights LED light mini (2)
- Polaris P35 Pressure Pool Cleaner (I want one of the robotic ones as I’ve read - which is the best?)
- Pentair Salt Chlorine Generator IC40
- Pentair 5G 120 volt LED color changing lights
- Merlin Duramesh Safety Cover - Pool winter cover
- How much would a solar cover run us?

- Electrician
- Hauling dirt and dump fees
- De-Watering (if encountered - how likely when digging out for pool)
- How long after the build of the pool can coping be installed?
