Forest Road | Pool Installation

By ShaefferHyde Uncategorised

Stainless Steel Pool Installation In partnership with Berglund Architects, Colorado Pool + Spa Scapes, Diamond Spas, and Breckenridge Crane Service, Shaeffer Hyde Construction performed this elevated pool installation. This massive, elevated, and unique stainless steel pool was transported in three sections due to the extreme length of the custom pool. The pieces were hoisted up over the home and set into place. The use of stainless steel is meaningful because of it's corrosion resistance, luster and low maintenance. We thank all who made this endeavor possible because we certainly could not have done it without you. Please enjoy this impressive video by Stovall Studio. Archives
