Thank you both for the kind words. It is close to 4 feet at its widest with about 3 and a half feet of water width. It is 8 inches deep at the deepest point.
Great question. In this case it appears to be a steep drop off because of the angle of the photo and because of the low water depth. I hadn't filled the pool completely when the picture was taken. The drop off is no more than 3 inches which even my smallest RF (Sonny) has no problem with.
If you have any questions about the building process feel free to shoot me an email or pm! [WINKING FACE]
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
