    Liner leak after AGP frozen in winter

    Looking to the experience of forum members on my 30 ft above ground pool liner. So living in MN, I waited until it was getting down to freezing consistently and waited as long as I could. My Pool Math note says water temp was 47 degrees when I cleaned and closed the pool in early...

    Installing 2" Foam on AGP build questions

    The TFP forum has been a great resource so far. I am in the process of leveling off my 30' pool area and finishing building a retaining wall because I learned to remove height to match the lowest spot rather than build up would have the best results. My soil here is sandy with no rocks so it...
