Sounds like everything is going good. What we know for sure is this, the blocks have to be set at ground level. You must have at least a foot of level ground to support the pool and the cove. If you want to dish the center a little to allow for the sand that's fine. The difference in how it...

Great pics, glad it all worked out. cubby, I always hide the bolts behind an upright. Just seems right to me. Later, Dennis

Oh, my my. The blocks on a round pool need only be patio pavers, 2" x 12" blocks set at ground level. Meaning they are set 2" into the ground. The rails must sit on firm, level ground, and it must be perfectly round. If you use sand for any part of your leveling you are asking for trouble...

Hi, this might help a little. As far as gaskets go, when I have two to work with, one goes between the liner and the faceplate and the other goes between the wall and the skimmer. When there is only one gasket, it goes between the liner and the wall. The butterfly gasket can go just over the...

Great advice given here so far. Do not drill a hole in the wall, under any circumstances. The upright should be held in place with screws at the bottom. Removing those would be much easier that going at it from the top. Pulling the post back might work but pulling the bottom screws whold...

Hey Charlene, You are probably just fine doing nothing. A patch can always be applied if a puncture does occur. The rock can be removed and then the patch applied as far as that goes. A method that has worked for me many times for lowering rocks is tapping on them with the rubber end of the...

Hi Mike, you got me. The contact form you filled out on my site led me here, so now I am at your service. A pool with straps can easily be converted into a deep end pool. If you can communicate with photos I can build anything. The best part is, I would love a trip to Vegas, so maybe I could...

I do know a little about that Dan. I heard a couple of years ago that Doughboy had this new plan where if you followed their instructions they would warranty a wall installed in the ground. Before, it has always been that if you install an above round pool in the ground you void the warranty...

Not sure what part you are questioning. I have not heard of a 29'. Possible, but 30' more likely. They do have 54" walls on many models, and all round pools can be expanded an extra 2'6" with an expandable liner. Don't ever let anyone tell you you can expand a used liner because it does not...

The liner will not move and it should be very easy for you Dan. Dennis

Hi waste, I am not doing any math here so making a mistake would be a little difficult. :) My fiqure came from an installation manual I read over twenty years ago. I was however going ask Carl that same question. Did you allow for two inches of sand, a six inch cove and the water level a...

Man, you guys get way to deep for my head. For thirty years now an 18' by 48" pool has held 7500 gallons of water. My guess would fall in the 8200 range. I have not seen this kind of math since high school. :) Later, Dennis
