Browse Forums Pools & Spas 1 Sep 19, 2022 2:49 pm Hi all - looking for some guidance or opinions... We’ve just had a pool built and over the weekend the Pebblecrete finish went in. It’s 28,000 litre pool with a largish step at one end and a couple of smaller steppers to get in and out. My expectation is that these should be straight and fairly precise, within reason …i.e. they should not be obviously wonky... The main step looks like it was done in a rush with no care to making it straight, square and it waves in and out along the edge. The steps are the same but not as noticeable as smaller. The shape of the pool is sort of an L with the internal corner of the L creating vertical edge – this edge is straight for the waterline tile of 20cm, but below that it curves away from the straight instead of following a nice straight line to the bottom. The rest of the pool has been finished to a really good standard but I’m not happy with the Pebblecrete finish. I’m not sure if it’s the underlying formwork/concrete shell being out or whether the Pebblecrete itself and whether it could have been squared up with the final finish. I’m going to raise it with the pool builder that I’m not happy but I’m not sure what can actually be done in any case?? I’ll try post some pics later but it just looks .. ameteurish compared to other pics I have seen. I had hoped I would not notice it once filled but I can. And the Pebblecrete team took off sharp before I could get to them. Any advice? Am I being too nit picky?

Looks like you have space to do it. The bigger question is what you're going to do with 28k litters of water? You should have inspected the work before filling the pool to avoid headaches.

As I said I could not get to them before they had thrown in a hose and left. If I hda turned off the hose then I may have eneded up with a worse situation. I have sent messages to the pool builder to discuss. MY view is its not so much what am I going to do with 28k litres - but what is HE going to do with 28k litres... Guess I am looking for feedback on whether from the photos this is acceptable finishing....hoping some experts have a view that will help me! Thanks for all replies.
