The total weight might also be a factor.This pool looks like its 12ft X 40ft X 3ft deep, a cubic foot of water = 62.4 lbs, so the weight of the water alone would be 89,856 lbs or almost 45 tons plus the weight of the pool shell itself. Over all, these rooftop pools are just a gathering place for mostly naked people and an opportortunity to cool off and enjoy the view. I guess they don't have to be huge. All of the hotels I have stayed at had large pools, but they were on the ground floor and most of them were deep enough for a diving board.
