Yep, fiberglass, 7.5x3.5. I could go a fair bit bigger but want to keep some lawn in the back yard.

Had one "rough" concrete estimate from a chap I know, he was around the $60-70k mark for something that size made from mud.

Yep, takes the robot two cycles to clean.
Also, I can’t recommend Walco pool covers enough. Well worth the money.

Daydream Pools & Spas do some quality work too; I've been lucky enough to see some of their pools up close.

TV preachers sell salvation for a buck.

Lovely drive this morning thru the hills to Strath and back, fantastic to see some rain on the parched landscapes and some creeks flowing again.
