    In the swim doesn't have a pool cover in my size

    Sand Calculations

    How much sand would I need for 2" deep under a 18' x 34' pool? And how much more if I wanted a sand cove? (we are probably going to use the foam cove, but I might get extra just in case) Thanks!

    Oval AGP and foam coves
