The skimmer sock goes w/i the skimmer box? Never had a pool. So do most people use a sock or no? Is it possible to have a larger basket that comes out (vs. sock) like those in the pump strainer basket but w/ even more surface area? Kind of like a french fry basket at McDonalds. Those pump...

RE the dirt; plan on having the pool edge raised about 16" to help keep dirt out & so you can sit on the edge like a bench. We have peacocks too and 6 dogs. Think I need a lower fence around the patio just to keep these critters away too (entire yard already fenced). One time a chicken blew...
