Provide ledge for rocks to sit on inside the pool
10” - 12” water depth
3’-6” wide typical
3’ wide minimum (may not be able to fit up lights)
For raised pool beam support factor - 1 ton of rock = 1.8 face sq. ft. of raised pool beam
Example - 36 ton allowance equals approximately 65 face sq. ft. of raised pool beam
Rule of thumb
minimum 8’ pool depth, minimum 15’ length from jumping point
24 Tons per Semi Truck Load. $1500 per ton.
Recommend to price up in increments of 12 tons
