Geralde Pool build

[geralde]

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.

Looks good. Did you make any decisions on your decking yet??

[geralde]

Funny you should ask. We were all set on the exposed aggregate. Then I looked at how much we could buy based on remaining budget, and we decided to increase the total by 250sqFt and go with the white concrete. This will come out to the same price as it would if I went with the aggregate (250 sqft less).

I figured the more the better right now, because I will never go back and add more. Not to mention I think the Red brick will really pop against a White concrete background.
