Can I ask where you got the front cover for the bottom of the egg? A: Thank you. I have forwarded this information along to the employee that handles quotes for these. It will probably be a week until you hear back. I'm not sure if they will need any further information but if they do, they will reach out to you directly. Thanks. **Q: What type of cabinets are those?** *(in Photo Questions)* Curious if those can be used outside and not under a roof A: They are encapsulated polymer cabinets. They are designed to be used outdoors. We do not install indoor cabinets outside regardless if it's under a covered area or not. **Q: New Pool Owner Needs Help Choosing Chlorine Resistant Sofas** *(in Design Dilemma)* My husband and I just bought a house with a pool - fist time pool owners! I'm hesitant on purchasing sofas for the basement that walks out to the pool. I'm certain we'll have guests over to enjoy the pool for summers to come, but I'm concerned about when they come in from the pool to have a seat with semi-wet towels and dripping chlorinated pool water. Any idea of which indoor sofa upholstery will withstand chlorine? A: Definitely go with a Sunbrella fabric on the couches. In Florida, many clients are putting sunbrella on interior couches as well because of the durability. **Q: Pool builder recommendation - Tampa, Fl** *(in Pools & Spas)* Anyone recommend a pool builder in the Tampa, FL area? We received two quotes(1 from existing home builder and another from a pool builder). Home builder is quoting about 60K to build a pool and spa and the pool builder was slightly lower. Here are the specs: Pool(~45K) includes size upto 275 sq.feet, 3'-5' deep and includes steps, bench, lights, variable speed pool pump, cartridge filter, chlorine feeder. Also, included standard pavers and screen cage(mesh) with 2 doors on either side. Spa(~15K) - this is for a raised concrete raised spa. Our community has natural gas so we have the option of using electric or natural gas to heat the pool but heating the pool was NOT part of the quote. Initially, our budget was $35K for pool+spa. Should we get more price quotes ? A: We work with many custom pool builders and I'd recommend this route- they are experts in this field. Always get multiple quotes and do your research- just as you already are. You can always call us if you need references on companies! 813.962.1700 **Q: Outdoor Firepit vs Outdoor Fireplace ???** *(in Polls)* While renovating the exterior of a new home, an in-ground pool is being installed surrounded by pavers. To cozy up the space, we would like to feature relaxing exterior living spaces with couch seating surrounding an informal, relaxed fire. The question is....firePIT or firePLACE? A: A Fire Pit is more functional especially outdoors. Pits are becoming a huge trend- especially gas burning pits where you can easily have one built with an on/ off switch or a gas timer. **Q: Concrete pavers vs. stone pavers vs. stamped concrete for pool deck?** *(in Design Dilemma)* What holds up the best and looks best over time? A: Travertine is low maintenance and just a little more per square foot than pavers. It's also cooler on your feet than concrete. Hot Trend in Florida right now. (in this picture one of our clients resurfaced their pool deck with travertine) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
