    Leaving you to discover it rather than prepping you for it before you could get out probably just gave you peace of mind. What was done was done at that point. Love the color of that house.

    Hi regards backfill for your pool I have used portable conveyors belts. The great advantage is you’re not messing the site up with machinery going in and out.
    I used 6x6 yard long conveyors.

      That’s a great idea about feeders, but they just don’t work out for us to get a job done quick because we have to contract one out and the timing just doesn’t work. Plus, we can’t shoot Rock over the pool.
      I’d like to use one one day

    We rent a big air compressor with a 1” line and a 4’ long pipe and valve. I think they call it a blow gun? The air pressure blows the fine gravel into the space under the steps. Turns that 2 hour job into a 30 min job.

    Not sure why you choose 3/4" minus instead of sand. Also the sump should be below the pool so any surface water that seeps in can be pump to remove any chance of it popping out. I started installing fiberglass pools back in 1978 and have never used 3/4 ,minus. Over time the rock will stat showing on the sides and bottom from the weight of the water. Also we use the sump to pump out the water as we jet the sand in and pack it that way. I've only had one pool pop due to the customer draining the pool to clean it and leaving the hose run outside the pool and not running the sump while doing it! So 45= years of experience says never use rock! Who ever told you to use it, is sadly mistaken. 5-10 years from now, you will see the rock! - FYI

    Kids will jump up from the bottom of pools. If one time they accidentally bump the wall on their way up, they could bash the overhang hard.
    With that much overhang... better hope the kids are being watched closely of they could knock themselves out and drown.
    Also too sharp at the bottom side. Less overhang and more deflection.

      We use a 3/8 minus crush Stone for packing steps. If there’s any real big gaps, then we use a three-quarter minus. I’ve tried using the bigger rock to pack and it is in nightmare for sure.
