It's been as big a year for pool renovation as it has been for every other element of the backyard, from outdoor heaters to casual furniture to new pool construction.

We spoke with Brink Spruill, president, about what the renovation market was like for coating products, and prospects for a great summer.

The Next Logical Step: Automatic Spa Covers

Spa owners like the convenience of an auto cover, too.

Matching automatic covers on the pool and spa powerfully integrate the geometry of this magnificent backyard aquatic scene built by Keesling Custom Pools, Patio & Construction, Indianapolis, Ind. The custom gunite 24-by-54-foot pool and 8-by-12-foot spa are finished in ‘Maui Midnight’ (from Hydrazzo), a rich colored surface that adds depth and shimmers nicely in the sun. Indiana limestone provides a suitable frame for this work of art. (Photo courtesy Automatic Pool Covers)
