Can everyone please post their pool pictures and ...

17 years ago

I was wondering if everyone who has a pool currently could post a few pics and tell us where they live and how much they paid total for the pool. Maybe even list special features you got as well for that price, and who built it. It would be helpful to people looking at getting a pool and questioning what they can afford and what they may be able to get in their area for a certain budget.

We are in a suburb of Atlanta in Hall county by Lake Lanier. We paid total $27000.00

Mine is a steel wall vinyl 14 X 28 Oasis style, stamped concrete, 2 polaris deck jets, 1 light, roman steps and a swim out, 3.5 to 6 feet deep, sand filter, timer w/freeze protection, Aqua Rite SWG, 30 MIL liner.

I know we got 4 feet on each side of broom finished concrete in the contract included, but we chose stamped concrete instead. We chose to do 2 feet on each side except the patio which has 10 feet. It was like $8 per square foot to do the concrete stamped. The perimeter of the pool was like 74 feet around. Not sure of the total SQ footage. I know we got a Polaris booster pump, 2" pvc piping, cantilever coping, and all permits included as well....

You might try posting your question to the bog garden forum where "dendy" originally posted. You could also try searching on this forum (pond and aquatic plants)for "bog" or "bog filters". Be sure to read through all the posts and follow any links provided-- they often lead to other good info &/or photos. Not sure if my bog filter is anything like you are wanting, but I'm including the link, just in case. Good luck, Sherry Here is a link that might be useful: bog filter

First is the big labeled family photo. Citrus: there's seedling lemon, tangelo, pummelo, yuzu, along with an unlabeled sudachi. There's also a larger grafted yuzu and a grafted calamondin. As for non-citrus, there's three nightshades (tamarillo, naranjilla and coconas), two pots of seedling guavas, and a rather spindly ice cream bean seedling. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/Project1.jpg[/IMG] Second is the unlabeled pic. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/Picture547.jpg[/IMG] Third, is a closer view including the big yuzu and calamondin, the pummelo and tangelo in front of them, and the big naranjilla on the right side. [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b122/davidals/CopyofPicture548.jpg[/IMG] Last, this is a close-up of some of the seedling (non-grafted) citrus - from top to bottom, yuzu, pummelo, tangelo and sudachi. The black pot is tamarillo sprouts, which I need to thin out. To me, the only notable thing here is how different papeda-type citrus look from other citrus when young - smaller, slower in growth, smaller leaves, but very lush, small (not visible in this pic) spines, but more of 'em than other citrus.

Thanks so much everyone! I lost Voila Francois (super sad about that one because I was in love) and a lot of my plants had buds that literally dried to a crisp before opening, so in addition to these being pretty, they are survivors! O cool! Thanks, Nate, for the heads up on photo option :) ANd yes..I guess the ones peeking through green are not sad and yellow - they're angry and tan Lol ;) *waves* Hi, Nancy :) Glad your computer is up and running.

There is a post in the gallery with lots of folks' pools and pictures (no prices though). I seem to remember an old thread in which people compared prices, but I couldn't find it.

In any case, mine was built one year ago. It is/has:

45 by 12.5 rectangular pool ranging in depth from 3 1/2 feet to 5 1/2 feet
An integrated spa (6 ft. by 9 ft.),
A tiled raised bond beam varying in size from 3 feet to 5 feet with three sheer descents,
An automatic safety cover,
Solar heating,
SWG,
Bella Blue Peblefina finish,
Cantera stone coping
Interlocking pavers
X-Stream slide
Mosaics
Navigator
400,000 BTU heater, 3 pumps, etc.
Automatic control panel, etc.

The base price of the pool including cover and solar was $60,000. The Pebblefina, cantera stone, pavers, and SWG were upgrades from plaster, reefstone, concrete and regular chlorinator. By the time all was said and done, We spent $10K in upgrades to the pool and decking and then did a bunch of other hardscaping and landscaping in both the front entryway, backyard, etc., bringing the total closer to $100K.

Our pool was built last year (2006) in Pembroke Pines, South Florida. It is a roman style pool 35' x 16' with a spa. I outlined the construction process and included pictures of each step throughout the project. Click on the link and scroll down to see the pictures.

It could be quite costly. We have spent over $20,000 on pavers and installation, but it was a 3000 square feet area.

We found relatively cheaper prices for travertine pavers, their website is: www.travertinepavers.com

Nice tile! I have Noble Tile Mica Series, which looks the same as your NPT Micah. I wonder if it's all the same manufacturer?

Hi everyone,

I realized I made a mistake when posting the website we bought our pavers from.

It is www.TravertineMart.com

Sorry about that...
