    Sand washed out

    Others have provided some good advice here. We had a similar issue to you when installing our agp. We found a foundation of what was probably a small shed that was filled in when the installers dug. They moved the footprint of the pool away from there by a couple of feet so they could put...

    Garden hose for Solar heater.

    Here's a product that might work: " As for flow, I'd try it and see how it works. If it doesn't work with the smaller flow, you can change over later.

    Any way to seal a leak around a light with water in the pool?

    Here's an old thread that might contain something useful. One person recommended inserting a metal plate in place of the light and using liner patch over the hole. Short term, if you aren't losing too much water, maybe it's not that big of a deal.

    Any way to seal a leak around a light with water in the pool?

    I don't think there is any problem with draining the pool of half the water to get at the gasket as long as you keep enough water to prevent the liner from moving around. I'm on a well too and I can fill my pool a lot faster than that. Your pool is somewhat bigger, 3 garden hoses at full...

    Removing Sand from Stairs

    Instead of reading the forum before putting my new Confer stairs in the pool last year, I went ahead and followed the directions that came with them. I filled them with sand. They were a pain to remove for closing last fall, but I managed it. This spring, it wasn't too hard to put them back...

    Hot deck

    You could add a piece of trim to cover the badly cut boards. Something like this one that is hinged so it can fold back to allow access when it comes time to replace the liner.

    @RonsPlc Are all of your deck segments alike (same dimensions)? It looks very similar to what I am building.

    Show off your AGP Deck please!

    I replaced the flexible pipes with hard plumbing today. I moved the bottom floor of pool deck in place temporarily so that I could make sure my plumbing would fit. I will need to move the concrete blocks and add supports once I'm sure it is where I want it. Any advice you have would be...

    Show off your AGP Deck please!

    Thank you for sharing your decks. You provided a lot to think about as well as inspiration. I decided to go with a modular design described in this article. The deck is essentially a series of trapezoids like the one below. My pool is a bit different from the example and I'm too cheap to buy...

    Some really beautiful work @Lisbek and @Tpopz . @Tpopz how did you figure the angles on the stair stringer that comes down at an angle? I'm in NJ and the government here is really adamant that we pay hundreds of dollars in permit fees to do anything more complex than mowing the lawn. I'm...

    Show off your AGP Deck please!

    I'm planning on building a deck around our agp. I'm curious to see what you all have built. Please show me pictures. One design element I'm definitely going to incorporate is the hinged Fascia (deck surround). I wonder if I could somehow slide the solar cover down through this and store it...
