ohhh yeah it's Lowmart that is the sister company to Dougboy! I stand corrected. I knew there was a sister company out there....

What I was saying was: I love going to the Doughboy website and looking at the GALLERY. They have tons of pictures there w/ decks surrounding the pools. Beautiful ideas to keep in mind.

We will be buying a pool online. Why? Because of the price!
And yes we will be installing it ourselves. Just read this forum and you can follow how many people did it themselves, albeit w/ the help of hrsDennis and some of the others, but read read read and you will learn learn learn. And maybe just learn that "hey.... if they can do it, so can I !!"
Or you can just find a local installer and pay them to do it.

I never would have thought my husband & I could do it. But after a year of scavaging thru this site from top to bottom, I have confidence we can do it.

*Thanks to all out there
