    The Pool Factory ?

    I don't know how handy you are, but if it's just a straight installation, you can try it yourself. I think most people say getting the liner straightened out was the hardest part. There are lots of videos on youtube to help you along.

    Suggestion for a Quality ABove Ground Pool

    The Radiants look to be good pools. They do come in the 27' Round... BUT, they are only 52" high, and I need 54" to match what I had before.
