Soooo, our pool was ordered in May. Pool is 18x35x29 lagoon and 6ft depth. Liner has come in, construction starts Aug 15th. We chose a 6ft depth b/c we are not planning to get a diving board. Will we regret sticking with 6ft? Now I'm seriously considering asking what the cost would be to re-order it in 8ft (we still would not do a diving board-
As for the slide....we have been looking at the Smith Rogue 2 b/c it fits how much I can talk him into spending, lol. Will it hold up to the salt water? And where is the best place to buy it? discount? We would get the taupe or gray (latham gold pebble liner, no border), and not all websites carry those colors.
hubby doesn't want the liability).
I'm aware that I'm probably insane at this point and way overthinking this whole thing. We are planning to put a slide in later down the road and plumbing for that during construction. We have 7 kids. One has left home (military), one is graduating college next spring and moving out shortly after, and the next leaves for college the following year, but we still have 4 more to go. LOL! Anyway, those kids are currently 15, 12, 10.5, and 6.5, so quite a few years of use...plus grandkids down the road quicker than we can blink, I'm sure. We live in the land of "summer, summer, summer, no winter" down here in Louisiana, so we will get lots of pool use with the addition of our heat pump we are having put in. Will the kids just love the slide so much and forget about the depth not being 8ft? Can they still dive at an angle? I really wish we had taken more time to decide these things, but my husband was kind of rushing to get it ordered and I really hate making decisions, so I let him make that one.... sigh....As for the slide....we have been looking at the Smith Rogue 2 b/c it fits how much I can talk him into spending, lol.
