Would love the opinion of my fellow Ags!

I have been in construction since 95' and these pools are the coolest thing I think I have ever built.

It's aight

Those pools are bad ass

I think Scotland is going to take back their stone of destiny and independence very soon.

Build me the most expensive pool they have for free and I will let you use it for advertisement and will give you a good review. I want a lazy River too.

And a slide.

And a grotto.

Those look awesome

Tell their marketing department to step it up. All those pools and no hot women in bikinis in them?

Prices if pools have skyrocketed- how do these compare? I know "it depends" but can you give us an idea of the price for a "standard" to "premium" install?

Very comparable to gunite pools.

The cool thing is construction time is about two weeks.

Ok can you send me some info to get started?

Email me at jarred@backyardconceptstexas.com

We are based out of Waco, but we do travel to build these pools.

Just means they're old enough to have heard about Hef's grotto at the mansion.

Those are frikkin sweet

Awesome

Interesting. How's the structural integrity compare to rebar / gunnite?

How would a Polaris work in these?

Cool pool.

i dont invest in anything until i hear what the sharks think about it

I'm a big fan of natural looking water features that fit in with the landscape. I also like pools with natural stone bottoms or pea gravel bottoms. It's like walking on a foot massage.

They are built on a waterproof epdm membrane that has a half life of 3500 years.

On top of that two layers of an epoxy mixture go on that total about 2" thick. At that thickness it sets up at the same strength of 8" of concrete. The strength is very similiar.

The biggest diffrence is in the long term maintenece. Some of these pools in Italy have not been resurfaced in 30 years and look brand new.

We use a robot cleaner in them. They work good about 99% of the time.

The other 1%.... They end up in the yard.

On rare occasions they may drive out of the pool.

That would be the coolest design ever for a man made hot spring in the back yard.

You should market that in Colorado if you don't. I've done allot of appraisals in Carbondale in elevated price ranges where I'm pretty sure if I showed the homeowner that design & said they could basically have a hot spring in their back yard that they'd try to pay me for it on the spot.

ETA: how do you secure the pool or cover it in the winter if you have children? I skimmed the website & didn't see anything about covers, or fences.

I assume y'all are self performing these?

Also the plumbing concerns me. I assume it's a direct bury similar to PEX? Hopefully you're not using "flexible" schedule 40 PVC

There is no reason to cover them other than safety. They can freeze solid without damage.

You can anchor a cover just as you would into concrete.

With the exception of the plumbing from the skimmer to the equipment, everything else is run inside the pool and encased in the epoxy. Every run is a home run and there are no fittings. Even if something were to leak it would leak into the waterproof liner and would not be an issue.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade but as a pool builder myself flexible pvc is just about the worst thing you can use for plumbing lines, especially underground.

I know it's pretty standard for vinyl & fiberglass pools to use flexible schedule 40 pvc but it's made from wood pulp and is a favorite of termites and carpenter ants.

Hopefully your home runs to the equipment are rigid schedule 40 pvc.

Its name is Jesus.

These are incredible.

I've never been to the Grotto. But I do have a pool though.

So they build concrete lakes?

I would totally agree with you if they were underground. They are 100% encased in epoxy resin.

Even if they were to leak, it would leak into the waterproof membrane.

There are pool over 30 years old that look and function like a brand new pool.

The only in ground plumbing runs from the skimmer to the equipment pad. Yes, it is all ridged schedule 40 pvc.
