We had 30 to 40 mph gusts, about 30 minutes after I got it up, and it didnt even seem to mind at all. I did put carabiner clips on them, so if it going to get really bad, I can take them down.
I gave up on the fucking grass. I have one dog that is hyper allergic to any kind of weed and feed. She literally starts eating her paws off. So, I have been resigned to just cutting whatever grows, and not giving a fuck.
Why not get rid of it then? There are a lot of landscaping options.
It actually only covers about 1/3 of the pool, and will cover even less once I fin tune things. Its nice to have some shade over the pool out here. Especially with little kids, like my niece that is a year and half, and white as chalk. She burns indoors.
Because my house is meeting place, and having that 60' x 40' patch of cut weeds is good for the kids to play, and for setting up tables and chairs for big events, like my daughters graduation/18th birthday party next month.
In Vegas in August, that shit would give you a third degree burn through flip flops.
That is a small area. There are very few houses that have the lot that I have out here. I cant bring myself to rock it. Plus, picking up dog shit off rocks, is not ideal.
Yeah, last night here is why I haven't put any up yet. now that I can get a mounting surface 21' closer to the pool, might be an option. Those straight lines last night did a number, so permanent mounts won't work in North Texas. But I love the look of them.
I do, actually seed bermuda. but the desert prim rose is the devil. That shit overtakes anything.
Not to mention that pool looks to be about 15k gallons. Mine is 18k and gets direct sun like that all day. By late July the water is damn near 92-93 degrees. It feels like a sunburn getting in the water. Having shade over it would help a lot, but trees near a pool is a recipe for insanity.
My pool is about 22k gallons. 8 foot deep is why.
Nice! Can't get over 6feet here. goes 3'-6', 8 would be a really nice way to keep it cooler.
It was built in 1988. They dont make them that deep here anymore either.
Whats the cost of 2400 sqft of sod?
After looking it would be anywhere from $3500 to $5500 to sod my yard. Fuck that. When the dog dies, I will go back to trying.
Standard cost, delivered, in Dallas...$900 plus tax. that's 5.25 pallets of Bermuda at 450sqft each.
