Hi, very new here. Our family has decided to finally invest in a pool. We have basically narrowed the decision down to three manufacturers - Kayak, Wilkes and Doughboy. We chose these three because they have the option to be partially buried and also have the option of having a deep end (which I'm still not convinced is a necessity). The Kayak and Wilkes both come as turn-key operations (excavation/installation, fence, deck, filter, pump,etc) and are relatively close in price and as of yet I haven't received any quotes from Doughboy. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on one or the other of these pools? I've never owned a pool before so I don't know if there are questions I should be asking or features I should def. be looking for. I've seen the complaints on the 'net regarding some of the Kayaks, but they seem to be a lot of installation errors. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for the info.
