Hello,
Love the forum, visit quite often since becoming a pool owner in 2005. We have a Foxx inground vinyl lined 26000 gallon pool that has a liner close to 15 years old as far as we can determine from the previous owner. The pool is rectangular in shape with sloped deep end walls. We are thinking of replacing the liner at the end of this season. I am estimating it will be close to $4500 by the time water is drained, relined, oops factors and refilled. The pool has metal coping around the edge of the pool with two ladders and 1 skim box and return line. Not knowing the process entirely we may considering redoing the concrete decking if it is best to do it in one shot. 70's concrete that has seen its better days with a few good splits and 1 pad that has dropped about 1-1/2" from the others. My assumption is the deck is independent from the walls of the pool. Are their more pleasing coping options out there now? I have read about different decking options. What are good economical options in stamped concrete, pavers or tile? Would like a more updated look without breaking the bank. We can wait on it but if logically we should wrap it up once then we may do that. Would love some feedback as I start the bidding process.
Thanks,
Scott
