Ridge Pools The pool is in NJ. The coping is Grey Indiana Limestone which is comfortable to step and sit on in hot weather

jackiengel It is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your reply.

Ridge Pools It sounds like you are taking on a VERY EXTENSIVE PROJECT. Please thoroughly research your contractors qualifications. I haven't seen too many liners installed in block or concrete pools with great results!, especially when trying to incorporate poured stairs. Also be cautious as to how many options you try to incorporate into your design......simple is often times much more elegant. The pager used around this pool is the Techo Bloc Inca series in a discontinued color "sahara". They still make the paver, it is under "slabs" in there catalogue but they have three new colors. Hope this helps Good Luck.

Leeanne H. Thank you so much for getting back to me! yes.. extensive is NOT the word, lol.. as far as research, oh boy,,, I do alot of that, thank you! I feel very good about this contractor, he has taken me to so many projects that he has completed, and ones that he is in the process of, so that I can see structurely how it will be done. My block was was originally built in the late 80's, and is very sound, I've heard more then steel. Yes, gunite is much better, but it's not what I have. I've taken many photo's of liner pools with poured steps, if you'd like I could send one to you. Of course, it takes on more of a gunite look because one doesn't see the solid, fiberglass step looking very different from the rest of the pool. After the steps are completed, the liner company will come to my home to take all measurements, and the liner is custom made to fit exactly. Not all, but some of the liners have a special texture in the same print, for covering the steps, because it can get slippery if the homeowner doesn't keep their chemical levels just right. I've looked at the Inca, and like it very much! It comes in a blue/gray and apears very much like bluestone. As far as quality, would you say that Techo is better then the other big brands on the market, ex: cambridge, unilock?
thank you again!

Ridge Pools No the fence is actually a black Jerrith aluminum fence.

Ridge Pools The pool is a shotcrete pool with a medium grey marcite plaster, I am not a liner pool builder. I am sorry I am not familiar with the liner you are asking about or the look it will have under water. Good Luck.

Leeanne H. thank you anyway
