My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pool Step Height Question

13 years ago

We are in the process of building an inground gunite pool. After the gunite was sprayed last week, I noticed that the first step, from the pool floor, is 16 inches high. Can anyone tell me if this is too high? I have asked my PB, but they assured me that this is standard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
