That's interesting. I don't recall having any sand visible that far out around the pool after install. Have you backfilled the hole yet? That might help. I've got between 4-7" around the pool backfilled - I used some of the dirt that was removed and the rest was 57 river rock. I went out about...

How did it end up once filled? Did you purchase and have installed from The Great Escape? We had ours put in two weeks ago. Swimming this weekend and then shutting down... Ours is a 15x30 - I can tell you, as you already know, the installers get in and get out. They don't stick around for any...

Thanks, yes - big pile of dirt from the Great Escape and big mount left from the gas line installation. The dirt from the pool install is tough to use as backfill since there is so much sod. All things considered, I guess the yard is worse than I hoped but better than I expected. Wish I would...

I agree with the other comments - since most of the excavation is done I'd install in the spring. In my case, with a wet yard, installing in the spring was a bad option. Ours went up last week in NE Ohio - I've not been in it yet but the end of next week calls for temps in the 70's. We will get...

I can't offer too much advice, however, we just had our 15x30 installed last Friday. Our situation is nearly level on one long side with about 6-8 inches below grade on the other long side. I am backfilling to close to grade with the dirt pulled out and then planning on about three inches of 57...

I should add, these guys showed up at 0810 and were gone by 1130. Hard to believe it went that fast. Hard to believe it took 9 weeks to schedule 3 hours of work :).

Well, I've never winterized a pool before, however, I don't think I would of went over the skimmer like that. Maybe that's how's it is done. I'll be interested in the expert responses.

Well, got the pool installed and filled yesterday. Plumber and electrician coming next week. Everything seemed to go as planned - have the equipment tentatively placed... I did have to replace a hose that was leaking - seemed to be cracked, however, installers wouldn't of known with no water...

Here is a layout of what we are planning. The red line is the new fence that will be installed - extending the fenced in portion of yard (bottom line). The two trees in the fenced in area will be removed. Permit for the pool is place - so now we wait until the 9/25 install.

Hi all, We have a deposit down for a new Quantum oval above ground pool. Not likely to get the install completed until late September which means we will basically be getting it installed, having a test run for a week or so and then likely closing up for the winter. We purchased a package from...
