Pardon my ignorance but what are screenings ?

Thanks for all the advice. Those were my reservations as well. Pools are tricking onto the classifieds now that spring is coming. New add today for a 33" x 18" oval with everything we're looking for. Any advice about oval AGPs.

What are your impressions on a 15' round AGP ? Is there enough room in a pool of this size for kids (2) to have a good time ? Or is it akin to having an oversized bathtub in your yard ? Will the kids just lose interest ? Reason for asking is used pickings are slim and pricey. Except for an...

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to drive out and check it in person. Come prepared to pick it up /buy it for a deal maybe $1600. They want $2000. It's the right size and it does come with a solar heater. I'll need to buy a liner and solar blanket.

An expandable liner sounds interesting, I'll have to check out that "how...

Thanks for the advice. I've been checking out new pool venders online aswell, it looks like there are decent pool packages for approx the same asking price as the used one. "Poolsuppliescanada.ca" appears to have some good deals. This is a great site looks like I have some reading to do and some...

I'm currently looking to buy an above ground pool and I need some advice. What are some good brands, prefered styles (round or oval),(resin or resin coated steel), sizing , features...etc. I grew up with an inground pool but have never swam in an AGP. I have two kids 8 and 14 yrs. Lots of room...
