Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Magnate's exact dimensions?
The Magnate comes in one size: 16 feet wide by 36 feet long with a uniform 4-foot, 8-inch depth.
O.D. 16′ x 36′ 4′8″ | I.D. 15′ x 35′ 4′8″
What's the difference between the Mack Daddy and Magnate?
The Mack Daddy and Magnate are both 16′ x 36′ rectangular fiberglass pools with a 4′8″ flat-bottom depth, but their layouts create different experiences. The Mack Daddy includes an integrated spa, while the Magnate uses that space for a more streamlined layout centered around its spacious tanning ledge, dual entry areas, wraparound conversation zones, and open swim lane.
If you want a built-in spa as part of your pool shell, the Mack Daddy may be the better fit. If you prefer more open space for lounging, swimming, games, and gatherings, consider the Magnate.
Can you swim laps in the Magnate?
The Magnate’s open swim lane runs the length of the pool with no steps or bench cutting into it, and the uniform depth means no shallow end to shorten your stroke. That suits lap swimming, water walking, and resistance exercise. If you train seriously, note that a 36-foot lane is shorter than a standard 25-yard competition lane, so you will be turning more often.
Does the Magnate work with an automatic pool cover?
The Magnate’s straight edges and consistent width support clean track alignment, which makes it a good match for an automatic cover. Automatic covers can help reduce debris, retain heat, and limit evaporation. Cover selection, installation, and operation should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and an automatic cover is one layer of protection that does not replace adult supervision or a compliant barrier.
How much yard space do I need for a 16' x 36' pool?
You need room for the shell plus space around it for excavation access, equipment, decking, and any required setbacks from property lines, structures, and utilities. Those requirements vary by municipality. An independent Thursday Pools dealer can evaluate your property and tell you what will fit.
What is a flat-bottom pool, and how is it different from a sloped pool?
A flat-bottom pool holds one depth across the entire floor instead of descending toward a deep end. The Magnate holds 4 feet 8 inches throughout, so adults can stand anywhere in the pool, and the swim area keeps the same depth from end to end. A sloped pool trades some of that standing room for a deeper section. Which layout fits depends on how you plan to use the pool. Flat-bottom designs suit games, water volleyball, exercise, and gatherings where people move around the whole pool rather than staying in one section.
