Speaking of pools it's time to close mine. Sometimes it's more headache than fun. Especially when it's got a bunch of proprietary parts that are hard to come by.

Nice job, Kris.
Four wheels and a couple of oxen next? 😆
Location looks to be sheltered from winds by the fence and trees.
Your plastic will last a lot longer without wind.
Closing your pool already?
Ours was open only a month when the vinyl liner tore at a jet opening.
Within a week the tear had stretched to a few feet...down 😯 and water drained behind it.
So no pool season for us this year.
New liner on the list for next spring 😐 👿

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

I was in Dallas for the weekend and the friend's pool was lovely.
The apartment complex pool? Nice for me, but W says it is cold 😆
Anyway, Kris, looks super and will be done in plenty of time for winter here.

Though, I feel ashamed after seeing Tim's (wxman) professional looking build !

Looks good. Is that treated wood?

Boomer Sooner Barb! It does look like a conestoga wagon.
Yes it's treated. Lowes Top Shelf lumber lol. That twisted junk - I had to dig through piles to find something halfway decent. The ply is also exterior grade B-C. I'll prolly tarpaper it and some siding and call it a day. It'll never be as aesthetically pleasing as yours Tim!
