|
|
I'm considering digging a pool into my back yard for winching. I have a couple options, but not sure how long it should be. How long are most in ground pools?
Option 1: Great for convenience, close to the house, easy access to garage for beers, music, etc. Easy water access to keep pool filled. Can only make it 300' long
Option 2: About 400' away from the house. No electricity access, etc. Somewhat difficult to get water too for filling. Pool length can be 525' long. |

You should make a gap using the dirt you dig out to make an elevated pool. I'd say ?50ft? to the gap should get you to speed and then in the lower part set up some rails and other obstacles to hit and also as you progress put obstacles to hit over the gap. _________________ You make me want to punch a baby!

I agree with poptart, I'd make it about 30` wide as you really don't cut when you wakeskate winch
