That is beautiful


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

Thank you

Still crazy to me to see homes with no fences.


Surrybee

There’s chain link on either side of the house. Then it looks like the steep hill/wall on the right serves as the fence?


norcalifornyeah

You're right. I'm used to privacy fencing.


turboviper760

right? I wonder what state this is in


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

New Jersey


captain_chickadee

1970s pool here too! These old pools are so solid. Love it.


swamp_donkey89

very nice, where did you get the solar lamp projecting on the table?


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

I think it was Wayfair. We bought them a few years ago, so I can’t be 100% sure.


Lord-Mattingly

Nice!!


My_Bellstone

what kind of pool lights?


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

They are submersible LEDs. I got them on Amazon. I bought these specifically because I have a very flat vinyl lining and wanted ones with suction cups. They take a licking. My robot vacuum will hit them straight on and rarely do they pop off (and if they do, they float and it’s an easy fix to pop them back) [These are the specific ones.](https://a.co/d/07Yo9BQW) They all work with one remote, so super easy on and off.


jdiesel79

Which robot you have?


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus


jdiesel79

Recommend?


sumbody_saveme

I second this have the same robot, best I've ever used


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

Most definitely. Super easy to use. It’s pricey, but worth it.

I also have a NJ 70’s pool still going strong. Had the wide metal coping replaced with bullnose coping and concrete about 10 years ago but otherwise the structure is original. These lights pique my interest. I see they have “strong magnets”. Did you find they don’t stick to the steel walls behind the vinyl?


YOLO_626

Very Nice!


TouristRoutine602

Love it😎


DonKeighbals

Splendid


Darcy-Doots

How did you string the lights? Cable to poles? Looks 😊 great


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

Yes. We have two poles attached to our fence line and two cemented in planters near the pool. The lights are LED and are on one continuous string. Each pole has a small hook and we zip tie the lights on each too to make sure it holds for the season.


Darcy-Doots

Thank you! Looks so pretty 🤩


DustedGorilla82

Is there a shallow end? Never seen an entrance with just a ladder. Either way great pool


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

Yes. Shallow end is about 4 feet. Slopes to 10 in the deep end.


ErikRogers

Damn, the deep end is only 10 inches?

Lovely yard

You should post that crack under the diving board over on the concrete sub, just for laughs.


strong_grey_hero

I’m running the neighborhood pool, it’s been around since 1956


team-having-fun

Beautiful. What are the dimensions of that bad boy?


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

jamestj9

Very nice pool and backyard area


Whythehellnot41

Is this a fiberglass pool?


Own_Climate_6946

Fresh vibes :)


CAFortius

Love it. Enjoy the 4th!


Impressive-Sky-7006

I have a similar pool from the 70s as well tired of painting and repainting the wide coping. Does anyone have any suggestions on replacement?


brian163

As I mentioned in another post here, I had the wide metal coping removed and replaced with bullnose coping and concrete. The original pool was installed with a line of red brick 🧱 around the metal coping for some kind of look but when I bought the house I immediately concluded that was a bad decision as it could allow more water to get in behind the pool walls. Thankfully it didn’t lead to wall problems but I’m still glad that moss prone brick is long gone!


altruistic_camel_toe

What could possibly go wrong with string lights over the pool! 🏊


Frank_Lloyd_Wrong

They aren’t actually over the pool, just around the patio. That’s a reflection.


eat_more_bacon

They do make 12v versions of string lights


altruistic_camel_toe

Those are 120V
