Thx guys.

Can't remember the name or company but it's a vinyl top with solid core. Click together type. I was looking for water proof here since it's the entry from outside, where there may soon be a pool, as well as the aquarium and also my dogs primary playing room.

John, if and when you do install the pool, assuming its above ground and assuming you are considering doing it yourself

Go as large as you can, The Pool Factory in Brooklyn has great prices and they sell on Ebay with Shipping included
Once you dig out the spot for it, its not hard to put together, the digging is the part that sucks, the rest is just nuts and bolts
Put a deck or small platform next to it
Remember to bond the pool posts and water
Forget cutting trees down, install a heater
while digging, consider digging a trench for the pool plumbing and switching from hoses to PVC
Last but not least buy a floating drinks cooler

If you decide to go in-ground for the pool, I used Polar Pools. Delivered by truck to your house and went together like an Erector Set. You will need to do two concrete pours for this pool. The only issue I had doing this myself was finding someone to sell me the vermiculite needed for the floor of the pool. Even though it was made locally, they wouldn't let me buy it because I wasn't a pool company. I eventually found a pool company willing to sell it to me.

My hole was already there....but you hire that out. There are folks who only dig pools. It's a one day job for these folks to dig your hole.

Now that floor just needs a tank on it! Are you still thinking about the 200dd are you thinking about a 180/220? Thought I saw a 200dd for sale on MR not to long ago.

Nice! Best of luck getting everything set up. Should be a really nice system when it's all running.
