A diving deep end takes a ton of concrete and plaster.


Better grab a Snickers, too...

I haven't seen one in years.

The few I have seen are old and raggedy-looking.

I'd want a pool with a deep end, diving board AND a blue plastic slide. What would that run me?

You can build an extremely nice pool with hot tub, lots of stone and coping etc and the works for 60-65k. You have to negotiate your arse off.

Pretty much what I paid.

These guys w/ this diving deep end are gonna pay a ton. They are talking a lot more yards of plaster and concrete.

$45,000 - 60k will get you a decent one, albeit small.

He didn't do a diving board, though.

What kind of pool do you want? This would be like me saying "I want a car ASAP". Well there is gunnite and liner and fiberglass and above ground....

I used Brian Keith to build my pool. Very satisfied customer.

See Outdoor Board for my thread updates.

I'm in that price range. Pool is approximately 725 sq. ft., not small by my definition.
