For real I was actually getting concerned for GC towards the end. I lost my *ability to remain gentlemanly* several times. A few of those times were flat out embarrassing him in front of his subordinates, yet 15 mins later he was all chipper like it didn't happen.
First off, Bravo.
When they did my stairs they anchored the legs supporting them in concrete. They backfilled under them with gravel to fill the voids. They also used bolts…
That's what I got last time too. They're coming back tomorrow and might do it then. It was late when they got them set up.
Sure looks to be an absolutely perfect fit. The liner attaches to the stairs? Or fits over them?
It is now. It was about an inch too close so they spent some time with the grinder shaving down the walls. IIRC, last time the hole was a skootch to wide so they cut a wooden strip for either side as a filler.
This trim piece pops off and the liner gets installed like the stairs aren't there. Then they reattach the trim piece and cut the opening.
SO CLOSE!!!
They replaced my straight steps with curved ones because the pool is an oval, and said it would look better. They had to cut down some pressure treated 2x4s to fill the gaps because the new ones are narrower at the bottom then the straight ones were. Would have felt better about it if they could have had something fabricated out of stainless steel or fiberglass.
Or the resin/plastic planks they have at HD now. I questioned it at the time and they said the wood would outlive the liner.
Don't know yet. At the very least they still need to add the sand for the floor and the insulation foam boards so that will fill the gaps (along with the backfill).
Yeah in theory, it should if it’s ground rated pressure treated. Make sure they get the ground rated stuff, only problem with that though is that stuff is so wet and it shrinks a lot. I mistakenly grabbed some ground rated 1x6 to build a bar top and it shrank by about 1/2 inch over the course of around 6 months.Or the resin/plastic planks they have at HD now.

I moved so it's the other guys problem. These stairs fit like a glove.
When I think about it, the composite decking stuff is way to flexible to use. Perhaps something made from PVC?I moved so it's the other guys problem. These stairs fit like a glove.

That's the stuff I was talking about above. I've used it a few times where things get wet and it will outlive us all. It cuts real nice too if you need a weird shape / angle.
