    it is a Play pool. It is 18inches deep...about 100 Sq Ft. We think that is where I will be spending alot of time with a cooler :-)

    The pool is a A&S 700SqFt Mountain Lake. Approx 22x42. That is not including the playpool.

    Looks like I will be getting Tile and Coping tomorrow. Decking later this week.

    Here is a better pic of the play pool.

    Great idea. My four year old would love an area like that.

    Geralde, Great idea. We did a little version of what you have (4ft x 9ft). We refer to it as our tanning ledge. Are you putting any circulation in the area? I did not see any stub-outs. We installed a "bubbler" fountain to help keep the debris off of the landing. I also installed an umbrella holder as well. Here is the shot of ours.

    Geralde,

    I saw your post on Sean B.'s thread. I wanted to put my two cents in on the exposed aggregate. Pea Gravel is great as long as the builder installs the correct grade of gravel. I am attaching a picture (not the best quality) of my folks pool in Seabrook, TX. They have pea gravel with the flagstone inlay. Hope this gives you some ideas.
