Add another grateful person to the list for this thread... I couldn't imagine having one of the roller mechanisms that swing to the side on my 24 foot AG pool. This idea is picture perfect simplicity and genius, was easy to build, inexpensive and works like a dream. I echo what was said about...

Any one have trouble with the water having a lot of debris / dirt when not using the wrap (obviously not including what may have been on top of your cover). That seemed to be one of the benefits mentioned by people in reviews, but not sure if it was more hype or what...? Hoping to get as much...

@Mdragger88 - thanks for the suggestion, not sure how well those would hold up in my area (NE Massachusetts), we get lots of heavy wind and snow... must be nice to live in an area where you can even take a winter sample! I would need to drill through ice for one... lol @JoeSelf - I may look...

To your point, I had just put the cover on, so I did not have any significant amount of water for the before and after wrap scenarios, and there is a bit more play in my cover, with the pillow added, than what seems to be ideal? I did have gallon bottles filled with water set on top and the lift...

I live in a high wind, coastal area. I stumbled upon the concept when looking at options for covering the pool during winter. This is my first year with a permanent pool, trying this method. My understanding is that wrapping the pool diminishes the impact of winds creating too much lift or...

Thanks!

Bumping this in hopes of someone responding who wrapped with a skimmer...

Thanks... appreciate the response. Anyone have experience with the skimmer still installed?

Hi - first closing on our new pool and I am going to try out the wrap stuff to seal around the winter cover. Any suggestions or feedback on using this? I am in a coastal/high wind area. Also, how have people worked the stuff around the skimmer??? I usually see this wrap extending like 12" below...

Thank you!

Hi - overall the first season with the permanent AGP has been great, thanks to the advice from TFP! My TA numbers have consistently been 100 to 110. My pH has been fine at 7.8. Should I bring the TA down even though my pH is in range? I understand I can lower the TA and then aerate to raise...

Anyone else hear of this “acidic rock” causing damage to the pool wall? Any suggestions on what to use as a barrier?

Hi - seems like a common "finish" around an above ground pool (which I plan to do also) is to lay egg-stone in with a border. I dug down 12" on one side to level the area, so I am thinking of adding a few inches of fill then the stone on that side, the other side would just be stone about 3"...

Thanks, I though that may be the case... just wanted to make sure! Yay!!! This is an upgrade from a 16' Intex that we had the last 4 years! Kids are pumped!!! Time for them to mix some salt in with their happy feet!

Well - finally got the pool up... 24' Round 54" deep with dished out middle... that was a couple crazy days! Filled just under the skimmer holes and I noticed a couple of the uprights are a little out of plumb (in towards or out from the pool). I think when we dropped the liner in, it must have...

Thanks everyone. Your help through this process has been so valuable! I will post a finished thread with pics when it is finally filled.

Leveling completion is finally in sight! I have my 4” blocks sunk and leveled within +-1/8“. I need to level a bit where the bottom rail will be, but that should be easy with all the dirt I now have to add and tamp down. My question is, since I had a lot of rocks/pebbles in my soil it was...

Thanks! Anyone else with construction experience want to chime in??
