    How deep is your sand? You may release a lot of trouble if you disrupt that sand bed. I went bare bottom, wouldn't ever consider going back...

    Well, the sand bed is less than 6 months old and it's no more than 1-half inch depth at the deepest point. In fact, it's bare in spots.

    I agree, that depth is going to be awesome.

    Can't wait to see it wet!

    Update:

    The stand was disassembled and roughly 5 inches side to side, front to back and top to bottom was cut off before reassembly.

    Thanks! I Did a little painting today. I painted all of the trim. I'm going with a glossy black look.

    I have some adjustments to do to the frame tomorrow, but I should have everything built and painted tommorrow except for the doors.
