Platinumtouch, Thank you for your interest in the Laguna Deluxe. The inside dimension of the spa is 5'4" in diameter. The spa itself is a total of 36" deep with the benches being 24" from the top of the coping. The overall circumference of the spa is 17' which when you take back the step area, leaves you with 13' of bench area for sitting. The unit would be comfortable for 3-4 persons but pretty cozy for more adults. The spill way area is more of a pass-thru for the water as the pool/spa combo would be delivered to your yard. The water between the pool and spa is common to both areas. The unit is designed to also have two separate areas in the event a homeowner wants to isolate the pool from the spa. The way that is accomplished is to add main drains in the spa area along with an additional skimmer. The unit is then isolated with the use of concrete forms to fill in the area between the pool and spa. Perimeter tile is then applied to the pool and spa to cover the area. It will look as though the two units were separate from the start when done properly. Your professional pool builder will separate the plumbing to accomplish how you want the entire pool/spa combination to perform. I hope this answers your question.

Southportmom, You do have some options with fiberglass. There are a number of manufacturers that can produce pools to install above ground. Additionally, some manufacturers already have pools engineered for semi-inground applications. Based on the scope of the project, your budgetary constraints may be able to be met with fiberglass. Let me know where you are located and I will point you in the right direction. Southport, CT . I would get a fiberglass if I could it install it inground. Otherwise, I would just get an aluminum pool and install it semi-inground. Southportmom, I would recommend that you give our local dealer in North Brantford, CT a call. The best way to determine if a fiberglass pool can be installed within your budget is for a professional pool builder to visit the site. Viking Pools will work closely with our local builder on his fiberglass pool shell pricing and accessories to try and hit your budget.
