Considerations
Interior Finish A variety of selections are available, including white plaster, pebble aggregate, colored plaster, polished marble, glass bead, painting and tile. Textured finishes may lightly abrade swimwear and skin.
Decking & Coping Your decking choices are unlimited - stained concrete, stamped concrete, natural stone, cool deck (coating, colored/textured) or deck pavers or tile. Cantilever decking edges that blend from the deck into your pool are most frequently used. Another popular alternative is brick coping to accent the outline of your pool.
Upgrade
Possibilities & Accessories Virtually
any feature can be added after installation,
including spillover or island spas, rock or
step waterfalls, interior finishes and
colors, decking, firepits, accent
medallions, laminar jets, rain showers,
sheer curtains, misters, lighting effects
and pool heaters. You can also accessorize
your poolscape with volleyball and
basketball setups, backyard grills, safety
fencing, slides, loungers, automatic covers
(depending on design) and outdoor furniture.
Installation It’s not paradise until
it’s finished. You should expect your
backyard to be “visually unpleasant” during
the installation process. Expect a gunite
installation to take between 8 and 12 weeks.
Completion times may vary with state and
local inspection criteria. Typically, the
builder will spell
out the precise terms, timeframes and
responsibilities of each party in your
contract. Your pool builder will act as
foreman over many subcontractors.
