    How to Remove Stairs from Above Ground Pool

    We (husband and wife) just did this today. Are the weights still inside the stairs? If so, get in there and remove them - take a deep breath and just do it. The weights need to be out of those stairs! When the weights are out, the stairs are much lighter and will be easy to remove since they...

    Time for closing? Heck NO! Pool was 82 today and it's going to be hot for the next 10 days. It's been fine for the past 10 days though 77-79 and not bad when you're in the sun. Pool Time!!!!

    I LOVE TFP, I've learned so much here. All of your knowledge gave me the confidence to give my little 10'x36" Intex away - it was perfect for floating (no kids) and getting some sun. I/we now have a gorgeous 24'x52" with sparkling, clear water - thanks to all of you. Not the best pic, this is...

    Homemade PVC Solar Cover Hanger's

    What a fantastic, inexpensive idea! Thanks for posting this - I'm going to have to try a version of this. I love my solar cover, it helps keep my temp higher during these cool summer nights. I cut my cover in half and it's so much more manageable. When I put it back on, I just make sure to...
