We are in year 2 of owning our 27ft round above-ground pool. Last year, we simply took the A-frame ladder in and out when we went in, and our two small children (6 and 3) were not able to access it any other way. This year, we are building a partial deck around half of the pool, and I'd like...

Last year we set up our 27 ft round above ground pool, and this year we will be constructing a deck around it. We have a large existing deck off the back of our house, and this new deck will be just off of the existing deck, with a set of stairs connecting. We've designed the pool deck so that...

We're finally filling our 27ft above ground, round (decided to make a new, specific thread instead of adding this to my build thread). It is hot out today, although the sun has gone behind some clouds. Around 80% of the pool, the vinyl liner is tight to the cove and hanging nicely tight to the...

We rented a vibratory plate compactor for our 24inchx2inch trench of 3/4 inch crush that goes around the outer rim of the pool for our legs (not using pavers, due to frost heave). Anyway, it rained earlier today which we thought would be great as I understand it should be wet to compact. It...

We are just in the process of setting up our 27ft round steel-wall above-ground this week. The ground is finally level, and we're renting the plate compactor tonight. We'd love to get it all set up this week, HOWEVER....we are going camping for 4 days this weekend. We're not really comfortable...

We have on order a 27 foot round steel above ground pool. We've dug out our area using a tractor to make it more or less level, and I'm working now on hand levelling the rest. Ground is undisturbed, with some clay (I can squish the dirt in my hand like playdoh). We live in Canada, with a lot...

Hello! Just in the process of planning our Above Ground placement/build. We'll be putting together a 27foot round pool, with a Hayward 200,000 BTU nat gas heater, Hayward single-speed 1hp pump (I wanted 2-speed but we can't really find them anywhere in Canada, without kicking the HP up which...

Hello! I've been lurking for a while now, and we are finally taking the plunge to order an above ground pool for our acreage. We've decided on round, and going for a 27foot 52inch. We are located in Canada, with lots of fun frost and snow and cold :) Also, we are ordering online, because...
