    Tree Stump Removal

    I’m having a 15’x30’ oval pool installed in July. I need to have 3 stumps grinded down from trees that were cut down. I just want to ensure there isn’t much settling of the ground. What should I fill the holes with? Tamp it afterwards with a gas tamper?

    Saltwater Above Ground Pool

    In the process of getting quotes for an above ground pool. I had my heart set on salt water as a few friends and families have pools that are saltwater (now they are all inground). I know this topic is well discussed here and I’ve been reading posts for 2 days. I’ve gotten a few quotes and...

    Resin Pool ok for SWG?

    Was shopping today looking at above ground pools. Told them I wanted salt water and they told me the only appropriate pool is aluminum. They wouldn’t recommend the resin “salt friendly” pools as they will just corrode. Is this true or just trying to upsell me?

    Approximate Install Cost

    I’m in Ontario Canada so I know it will be tough to get an accurate amount on here but I’m getting quotes for an install of a 12x24 oval pool. The quotes very quite a bit so I’m curious what people have paid recently.

    Used AGP

    My neighbour is getting rid of their above ground pool (12x24 oval). How are these things at being taking apart and put back together? Not a good idea? I’m fine with getting a new liner.

    How DIY is an AGP?

    So we’re hoping to install an AGP sometime soon. I have 2 questions? 1. Can I buy an AGP that is allowed to sink a foot into the ground at one end? My yard has a gradual slope where I want to put the pool. 2. How DIY friendly is the install for someone who is in the construction industry and...

    Trevi Volt Oval Pool

    Thank you. I found a bunch of negative reviews online. Can’t tell if the product isn’t so good or the company.

    Trevi Volt Oval Pool

    Where would one look for reviews of pool kits? I think Trevi is built in Canada and from what I understand the “volt” is a steel pool? Is this bad because of rust? Does anyone have any experience with this type of pool?

    Decking Material

    Thank you. Did you use a transparent stain? I have seen some decks peeling but I think that’s more of the semi transparent stain.

    Decking Material

    I’m torn since the cost of composite is so much more. We’re planning a large de k around the pool and the deck may cost more than the pool if o do composite.

    Decking Material

    What material do people use to build the deck around their pool? Composite? Pressure Treated? Other? My wife is worried about slivers with pressure treated.

    LImited Access Yard - Pool Install

    City owns the forest side. It’s very dense. I doubt anyway to drive anything through there with so many fallen trees, etc. Looking more like no pool. Boo

    LImited Access Yard - Pool Install

    There is only 5’ between the two homes. So it’s 40” gate and an 20” piece of fence of my neighbours. The other side is forest.

    LImited Access Yard - Pool Install

    Hi All, We were hoping to have a pool installed in our yard. We picked this house for the big backyard and room to put one on eventually. We’ve had two companies out who said they are way to busy to take on the project because the yard only has a 5’ gate to enter (no other possible entry due...

    Ontario Onground/Semi-Inground Pool & Operational Costs

    Thank you for the reply. I have been told that inground and completely above ground would require quite a lot of extra costs to grade the yard even enough. Semi inground seems like the only option. Looking more like no pool

    Ontario Onground/Semi-Inground Pool & Operational Costs

    It has been hard to find anyone wanting to do the job. I have a large backyard 60’ x 150’ but only a 4 foot access so no room for machinery.

    Ontario Onground/Semi-Inground Pool & Operational Costs

    Thanks. I’m just about an hour north of Toronto (Barrie). There are quite a few pool companies in the area. Hard to decide whether to use an independent company or a larger company like Pioneer Pools.

    Ontario Onground/Semi-Inground Pool & Operational Costs

    Very new to the pool world. My children love their uncle’s pool and we’ve been looking into getting one ourself. Our yard does not accommodate an inground pool due to the rolling terrain. I think an onground would work best where I can bury it 2 feet or so and put a deck around it. Make it look...

    On-Ground Pool (Ontario)

    Hi Everyone, Were in the market for our first pool. We live in Canada so it will only be used around 5 months of the year. Our yard is not the most level so I think an in ground pool won't be the best choice. We have been looking at on-ground pools where part of it is in the ground. We would...
