AGP Oval Pictures

[NWMNMom]

Rhonda, can you tell me, is your pool a buttress free (yardmore) or regular braced type? What brand is it, beaded or jhook liner? will you be posting pictures of your progress? Thanks - we are so interested. (we are also installing 18x33 in the next few weeks)

Hi, Heres an example of what can be done with a pool deck and a beaded liner.

Bracing type is not relevant, same could be done with any type.

NWMNmom: It has the braces on the sides and a J-Hook liner. We purchased it at a local company called "Swimming Pool Discounters", it is manufactured by "Swim N Play": Here is the pool we got:

It's the one on top. I have a photo book in yahoo and I will post the link to it so people can see the progress. I can't wait and I hope you post pictures as well, maybe we can help each other out. We are currently trying to get the one end of our lattice fence done so we can start to break ground (I just always wanted to say that)!

dennis: I got so interested in that site that I forgot I had this forum window open. How cool would that be to have an "indoor" agp like that?

sisie5: Your pool is very nice. Is that a walk around deck on it? Bet that makes cleaning easy for you. Keep the pictures coming on your progress.
What size is that? It looks huge.

John: Does that liner keep the water temp a bit warmer? We were told it would cause its dark. Can you post a picture of your pool? I am dying to see what it looks like with water. I hope our water is really dark.

Thanks everyone and keep it coming. Love seeing everyones pools, it gets me ready to dig.

You forgot the picture again....
You know how many times I have done that in an email????

(It's still funny when someone else does it though)

Sisie5 - nice pool! WRT teh drain pipe, my recommendation is that you install the pipe that has a cloth sleeve over it (essentially the same perforated pipe but with a sock) - what will happen with the pipe you're using is that Dirt will wash into the pipe this dirt will settle at all teh low spots and eventually clog it , the one with the filter cloth really does a great job of keeping the dirt on the outside of the pipe.
Try digging in pure clay! Your soil looks wonderful in comparison!

There are pictures of mine in the thread "Building a Pool Deck". I can't seem to post the same picture again - so just go to that thread I guess to see it.

We have a 14x32ft Timber Tech composite deck built between our house and the pool. We are lucky that we have a slight slope right behind our house, so I can go out the back garage door, be right on the deck, and go right to the top of the pool. As close to an IG as we'll ever have.

I'm working on my landscaping as we speak. I'm doing a lot of Native grasses as they're low maintenance and I just love the look. Also - they don't attract bees, and can take the direct sun.

Our yard could only accomodate an 18' round pool - so we opted for an 18x34 oval: an Echo Canyon from The Pool Place in Chatanooga TN. Gorgeous pattern on the pool walls and very pretty liner that looks like real tile.

Honestly speaking- putting up the pool ourselves was a **** of a lot of work - thank God for Matt on the forum, he was there for me every night when I was exhausted and beside myself, lol! To top it off we ended up building the deck ourselves too. We about killed ourselves to get it done in time for my brother and his wife to visit- got it done the day before they got here. He got me hooked on getting a pool, and it was nice to be able to enjoy it with him. That was the last time I got to see them, we lost them both late last year. The moral of the story is - go for it- and enjoy your pool whether it's oval, rectangle, or round. Life's too short for all work and no play. I still envision Matt floating in his with his laptop, answering pool forum questions, lol!
