Hey there, Been a contractor for 30+ years and have built many many decks. The current project consists of of an indoor resistance swimming pool. The pool is sunken below grade, about 1/2 way. The architect has designed a system of a removable grid so that the mechanicals can be accessed when needed. We are to the point of needing to choose a product for the finish material. This project started its life as a very cost conscious job over quality of materials job, over the months we have been working on it, it has evolved into more of a quality first project. That makes me very happy, as then all the labors do shine
The architect originally drew a generic 5/4x6 product, with no clear choice just to get the project moving. Its time now to make some choices.
The criteria to be considered
Price
quality
availability (midwest)
durability
and weight
Weight because 2 or so times a year the panels will probably have to be lifted out to access controls under.
Remember this will be indoors, but we will still have some sort of chemical dripping off humans exiting the pool.
anyone have some great ideas?
