David Phillips Thanks for your question. There has never been a problem with the gravel getting in the pool. The gravel is a 3/8" Melitta. Decomposed granite is more likely to stay on feet whereas the larger stone comes off easily and is noticeable, due to the immediate discomfort of having a pebble on the bottom of your foot. The gravel does not venture beyond the edge of the flagstone due to the elevated lip. Hopefully this answers your question.

David Phillips These curtains were sewn from marine grade Sunbrella fabric. The back panels are attached using galvanized pipe that was attached to the posts using escutcheons. There is a pipe-rod on the top and the bottom. A simple pocket was sewn into the top and bottom of the panel, then it was mounted. They were used here to create a false back to the cabana and block out the view to the back. They were sewn on a regular sewing machine using a synthetic thread that won't rot or mold. Thank you for your question and feel free to ask any further questions.

David Phillips The cabana opening for each panel is 81"w x 100"h. The panel measures 60"w x 88"h. This allows a horizontal bilateral space of 19" or @ 10" on each side and a vertical opening of 6" top and bottom. This cabana is in a somewhat protected setting, however it has endured gale force winds. The openings around the four sides allows for the wind to pass through without pushing the panels.

David Phillips Thank you for your inquiry. In this setting we used a 3/8" Melita Gold crushed rock. It is not too messy since there is a 2" drop in elevation between the flagstone surround and the crushed rock area. Feel free to ask any other questions and thanks again for your interest.
