Comments (9)Thanks for the comments! We owe a bunch of the ideas to the members of this forum! The Brick structure you see was built by the original owner. He was a brick mason and fairly talented. He also did all the ornamental brick on the front of our home, we have a giant archway entry, herringbone under the windows and on the front of the house chimney. He designed it to be a small built-in bbq. He cobbled together some very odd grill parts and connected it to the house propane lines. The steel burner assembly has since rusted and was red tagged by the gas company prior to our purchase of the home. We are going to replace the burner assembly with a stainless fire ring and turn it into a small outdoor fireplace. Our bbq is part of the outdoor kitchen under the cover section of the patio. The cage is one of the largest in our county. Due to size the structure required site specific engineering - which basically means the screen company was not allowed to use any of the "stock" or "book" construction methods. Everything down to the thickness of the material and fastner spacings are called out on the engineered drawings. The cage is designed to withstand 140 MPH wind loads. The extra bracing in the Mansard section of the roof is to resist "racking" during high windloads. Racking when the roof of a structure begins to twist relative to the base. There are other "heavy duty" features required for this load condition - post back if you're interested in the details, DH is an Electrical Engineer and loves to discuss the details! We are moving into our outdoor entertainment room this weekend so we'll post some more pictures by Monday. Ryan and Diana Cocoa, FL...See MoreStorage of pool items?
Comments (2)We built our vacation/maybe retirement home 2 yrs ago and just put in the pool. Our main home also has a pool. How much pool equipment and chemicals you need will depend on several factors. Also where in the country are you? 1. Salt or chlorine pool? Chlorine requires you have a big bucket of chlorine tablets at all times. Salt takes bags of salt but not as often in our experience. 2. Heater or no heater? They tend to be big. 3. Spa or no spa, does spa have it's own pump? 4. Booster pump for pool cleaner or will you just use the skimmer? 5. Pumps for swim jets or none? 6. Trees in the yard or not? Trees mean leaves which means more cleaning. Unless they are palms, of course. 7. Is it cold where you live to the point you have to winterize? 6. Since this house is not built I would suggest leaving space on the side of the house closest to where the pool will be for the equipement. If this is the side with a wall to the garage you can have a door put in from the garage to the side? We use a large patio box to store the vac equipment and floaties. We also have a stand that holds long floaties. Hope this helps....See MorePool Build in Dallas Area � Comments & Suggestions Requested
Comments (27)I believe every riverbend sandler pool in dfw is made that way regardless of yard space. I asked the pool builder and he gave me a reason but unfortunately it's all Greek to me. It did worry me, but they build so many pools for so many years, you'd think there would be a big outcry or it wouldnt pass inspection if it was bad. If you search for riverbend on the forum you can find a ton of pics of their pools built this way. Not saying it's right or wrong, it's just how they do it. I'm trusting them.....hope I don't regret it in 10 years....See Morecantwait
