Want to have a pool built ASAP. Not looking for anything fancy, just something with a good deep end and maybe a diving board. Who do yall recomend for quick, quality work? Thanks.

No one puts in diving boards anymore. It's an insurance risk and you need at least a 12' deep pool to accommodate one.

Diving boards scare the hell out of some people.

I would think any type dog that barks would protect you.

Before you get one put in, are you ready for all the work? Even if you have a guy come in to clean it and manage you chemicals you will have a lot to deal with. I had a pool at my last house, a really nice one, that I had put in. We used it a lot less than I thought we would, it was a lot more work than I thought it would be, and in all honesty it was one of the main reasons I decided to buy a new house.

You can buy the diving board online and install as well as a slide.

But if op thinks he will get it quick he is in wrong time of year.

Little known fact-Ewing will build you a "safe room" under your pool. Looters always ignore the pool.

I would avoid the 12' deep end. They're not very practical. Also your insurance company may not allow a diving board. I almost never see them anymore. Only two companies make them (Interfab & S.R. Smith).

Vette... I just saw your e-mail this morning. I will shoot you back a reply later today.
