Need advice with Tanning Ledge crisis...

Hi Mike,

If it were me, I'd forget about tearing up the ledge and ask them to make it up elsewhere with some extra deck.

I'm curious....who built your pool?

We had a similar issues with our bench seat in the deep end. We wanted it curved to fit the form of the pool. The company that shot the gunite seat as a straight line. We requested that they fix the problem which they did by removing the seat and reshooting it. It did not hurt the integrity of the seat or pool. So my advise would be make them fix it to the specs you requested.

Only accept it as-is if you will be happy long term, which is a personal decision. You don't want have regrets every time you use pool just for an easy way out now. Ask the PB if you can visit some pools with a ledge and see what depth feels right. Ours is 1' below the coping, making it about 8" deep depending on water level. Works for us. Any deeper and you will probably want a step down to the ledge. Glad the PB is working with you.

Mine is 9" deep (measured it after it was shot) - which I was told is 6" of water. So with it 6" deep - it will be 3" of water?
