Why do you have to yell?

Why do you have to yell?

Aronquest....You probably don't realize this but when you type in all caps in a forum like this it is taken as yelling. I made the same mistake myself when I first started posting to forums. It's just a lot easier to read when not in Caps.

Good luck in your pool building and definitely take a look at the site re: Blue Haven...pretty eye-opening

Yes, I must say that I was only teasing.

I have one of those so called Hybrid Pools. Mine was built in 1978, I believe. It has the fiberglass walls for 3' all the way around and then concrete for the bottom in the shallow end and walls and bottom of the deep end. I don't have any complaints. I've only lived here for two years but it seems to be fine. I have noticed some hairline cracks in the fiberglass walls in some spots. Not sure if that will be a problem or not. Doesn't seem to be now.

Sorry all, I did not know that caps was yelling, I thought it might be easier to read in caps. Thanks for the info everyone. We will not be using Blue Haven due to their HIGH (yes, that was yelling!) price and their bad reviews.

I did get another quote today for a vinyl liner pool. This guy said that it is the best made except for gunite. Not sure whether to believe him or not. The guy with the hybrid pool is clearly the cheapest but cheapest isn't always best so if anyone knows of a reputable pool builder in the St. Louis area please let me know and we will give them a call.

Thanks again!

Pooltron has been in business over 30 year building gunite pools. I can recommend them as they did ours.

Try this link for another company that does the hybrid:

I am not sure who if anyone in St. Louis builds these.
