how to prevent concrete splash in pool

[duraleigh]

Hi, Chris,

I was told the total finished overhang was typically 3/4". That seemed a tad short to me so I made mine 1". I think whatever is aesthetically pleasing to you is the right answer.

I could think of no way to prevent the concrete from going into the pool. Any barrier I could think of would interfere with the forms or was w-a-a-ay too much trouble. Nice thing is it doesn't stick to anything. It'll fall harmlessly to the bottom where it's pretty easy to get out. Might even help your Calcium Hardness a little while it's in there!!

thanks for the input. I did not think it would hurt to get the splash in the pool but thought there might be some trick. I just wont worry about it. Finished all the grading tonight and tommorow will build the forms for concrete collar for a pour on fri. Hopfully pavers will go in sunday or next week sunday. Its looking like a yard now. Thanks again for the help. Chris
