The clear PVC is awesome looking. Don't know why something so simply just makes it look cool. Where did you source your #8 copper wire and clamps from? I will be needing the same.......

Does anyone have any pictures or success (or failure) stories of doing this? From the ground up, dirt, stone dust, coving, gorilla pad, liner, water? Skip the sand entirely?

As a side note, if you want info about well, anything, on your tractor, hop over to mytractorforum.com and the users there, just like here, are more then happy to offer advice, opinions and just general help over all. Good luck! I had a X485 before my 2210 so I'm familiar to a degree with the...

Isn't the biggest thing to consider with an Intex pool, or really any pool, is if, and when the wall rips/errupts etc, where will all that water go? Off in the backyard into the woods, no big deal. Over the patio, thru the slider doors and into the entire downstairs level of the house. Big big...

I think the AGP manufacturers have hit a cross-roads. 1980's everyone had a metal AGP. Anything vinyl was a kiddie blow up pool that lasted 1 season. Other the years, the vinyl has increased in quality. 12' round. Then got bigger and bigger as they found ways to make the vinyl strong enough...

Wow - That looks fantastic! Beautiful pool and I'm excited for you... Keep posting pics as you get the water level higher and higher...

18X33X52" AGP I'm putting up. My base is "Stone Dust" as I had a slope and had to take down the high area and I wanted a good solid firm base to work off of. I'll have the entire pool area, including 3 feet PAST the pool area totally set and level with stone dust, well compacted, etc. The...

Thank you very much everyone for the comments. I know that after the pool is up, I need to do a significant amount of grass seed, cause there is mud everywhere. I envision the day with the pool and nice marble rocks all around and luscious green grass, well manicured, all around and nice. Today...

I am not an electrician but I'll take a gander: Looks like you got a white wire on the bottom breaker on the left connected to not sure where. Not sure what that huge electrical wire wrapped "clump" is but that doesn't look right. Is that a black wire in the box with just a red wire cap on it...

I could be wrong but I've never heard of a pool kit, in boxes, having to have the metal cut. Nope...

What kind of foam wall are you using? I've got to do more research on my AGP that I'm setting up right now if I should use one or not. 18X33X52.

So today I added more stone dust. And leveled. And troweled. And sweated like an absolute pig in this humidity here in NJ. And I got 9 of my 20 blocks set. The compactor plate can run right over them where the railing and baseplates will sit and it's smooth as a baby. And compacted down...

If the wind primarily blows west to east, as it does across most of the US, then it is favored to put the skimmer on the far east side of the pool only because the wind will probably blow surface debris ever so slowly to the east side. We're not talking much wind assistance, but I've read this...
