Siting a Swimming Pool on a Slope and more

Siting a Swimming Pool on a Slope and more : Turning a Liability into a Design Benefit 

Designing and siting a swimming pool on a sloped site is a challenge but we can use slopes and grade changes to our advantage. I will talk about the many design solutions that are available to enhance a swimming pool setting on a slope. Wall and step details will be shown. Before and After photos will be included. Dimensions and furniture requirements are addressed as well as material selections. 

I will start with a brief review of my previous pool powerpoint to refresh the viewers' memory.

WEBINAR FORMAT

We will use Zoom and will send out a link to all registered attendees before the event. The webinar will be recorded and downloads will be available for all registered attendees after the event.
