Landscaping Your AGP

- Start date
This is what we did. We built it last spring. Lots of patience and $$$ but worth iron the end. We paved the backyard too so no worries about dirt. The pool was sunk two feet into ground and we built deck around it.
You use a host service, like Photobucket, copy the IMG code and paste it in the thread.
I just love all of your setups ! I always thought Above ground pools were pretty cool ! Thanks for the images I can use some of the same ideas with my in ground..
Have you had any problems switching to hard PVC lines? I was told by the store I bought the pool at that I couldn't use hard PVC lines as 1.) the pump wasn't strong enough, and 2.) it transferred vibrations from the pump to the skimmer causing leaks, etc. They say the best I can do is to use flexible PVC which I'm considering as I generally have to replace the cheap plastic hoses they carry once a season, and I have no cutoff valve to stop the water while removing and cleaning the pump filter basket.
Many people hard plumbed their Agp, me too, no problems with vibration

Hi Piolin, was there a reason you put the skimmer at the end of the pool and not near the suction line as I've seen with alot of skimmer installs?
Another Q..
For those of you with a raised deck around the pool, how do you attach your winter debris covers? Do they attach to the deck as opposed to the pool?
The reason was the way the wind blows in my pool, you want to install the skimmer downwind
Just wanted some feedback on what mulch/cover do you use to cover your sand in the perimeter of the pool?? My sand is all goopy and getting tracked in the pool and house and is just gross to me. Want to cover with some mulch or rocks or something but don't know what I can use the will be comfortable on bare feet (for messing with pump, adding chemicals, etc.) and not get tracked out and maybe flung into the pool when weedeating. Haven't installed the edging yet, but wanting some cover material that's easy on the feet and doesn't really track out....suggestions??
I am using just el cheapo red mulch for the majority of the perimeter. I had planned to use it for the whole thing, but it isn't easy on the feet. Splinters suck. I picked up a bag of red rubber mulch at lowes for the ladder area. looks a little different, if you are looking for it, but the color matches and its a lot better on the feet.
Have you thought about artificial grass? Not sure what is available on your side of the pond but we get some very good looking ones here.
So many beautiful pictures on here.. we only put some bricks and rocks around ours.. Every spring I get pretty pots for the wood steps.. View attachment 41799
