Hey Tebell,

We looked hard at the same pool you are considering but in the end we just went with the steel. For us we knew we would not be hanging on the sides that much (mostly me and the wife) so the heat would not be a problem. And if and when we add a deck we may build it about the top seat so that would not be a problem either.

We got a larger pool (33') with dual returns for less money but that was just our decision. Whatever you do, get the two returns. Its welll worth it.
