Digging it. I must say the floating tanning ledge looks really good.
What's the total time on the build? From dig to current state?

Very Nice!

What’s the pool finish and color?

I am completely in love with your finished cantilever shade structure and the perimeter overflow spa and ledge. So slick and modern. Please remind me if that is a fire pit between them.

I am a big fan of elevation changes in general and the way you introduced them into a flat yard to make the design so much more interesting.

Yes sir. Second Firepit between Spa and ledge. We liked or wanted to create fire out of water like feature .

One small correction. We dint have a flat yard, we had a sloped one. Roughly 3ft drop towards the back

Thanks a lot. 5.5 months. Feb 15 was our dig. Still couple of loose ends to tie from our PB. Then we are doing turf over the total rest of the backyard independently. Once that is done, we will be done

For those of you that have had a SWCG installed for many years, any issues you have noticed with corrosion? either to the material around the pool, or close by to the house, like door knobs or other metal pieces.

If there is corrosion, is it more related to keeping the pool chemistry as perfect as you can make it, or just part of having the salt?

There are so many things you read that go both ways.

and btw, the pool design and what they have constructed look great!

Zero. Poor quality materials weather, pool or no pool. In the pool, or out the pool. A salt pool is 10% the salinity of the ocean. A liquid chlorone pool is 5% or so. They are at most both on the low side of brackish water, with 30k ppm to spare before 'salt water'.

either to the material around the pool, or close by to the house, like door knobs or other metal pieces.

Salt doesn't evaporate. Anything outside the pool has even less of an argument than the above misguided argument.

Not on here. On the interwebs you'll find misguided reasons like 'salt pools' destroying patios. It's from up north where ice melt / salt, at crazy concentrations can destroy roads and sidewalks. Once it's a thing, it must be a thing everywhere and for everything. But again, it's a pool and not an ocean or an iced up sidewalk.

Aug FY23 update:
Our backyard project is done. (Small adjustments to Spa tiles still needed as a couple areas dont get the full 360 overspill but rest all is done yay)

Houston Texas build. Dig was Feb 15, Plaster July 10.

Pool: 18×45 (30 × 45 with Spa/Ledge)
Plaster: Stonescapes NPT Aqua blue mini
Decking: Silver Travertine

Added turf to the backyard after grass dying in the heat last 2 years. Completed the project with a few ledge lounger additions. Our dream on a render turned to reality!

Made a youtube video of the final reveal
