    12x24 above ground pool buried with pics.

    I know that the water is supporting the pressure off the dirt but if the dirt settles for at least 2 years ( the ground here is very hard, for digging you must use a pickaxe) you can safely change the liner. I´am talking about leaving the pool for max 3 days without water.
