HI! After many months of research and several quotes from PBs, we finally decided on a PB and type/size of pool! We are getting a double roman 18x36 gunite pool with a tanning ledge (sun shelf). So far we are planning to have the pool go from 3.5-6ft deep. (See rough pool layout picture attached.)
One question we have right now is, how deep should the tanning ledge be. The builder is recommending 18". We are afraid that may be too deep. We plan to place lounge chairs on the ledge and we read they could float away if it is too deep. Would love to hear from others who have tanning ledges! We need advice!
Another question is.....with having a circular tanning ledge that goes out 6ft, will we have enough room in the pool for recreational/lounging with a total depth of 6ft in the deep end? We also considered having only 5ft in the deep end so that we had more recreational/lounging area. Does anyone have similar depth layout? Thoughts on 5ft vs. 6ft?
Last question for now, if the PB says it will be 3.5-6ft deep, will that actually be 3.5-6ft of water depth or will it be a few inches less?
Thanks so much! We are newbies to owning/building a pool and we are very excited but still have a lot to learn!
