...this is my first post,but this is the subject that interest me & wife the most. We are considering purchasing a AGP, but want to bury it or at least semi bury it. We have a slope in our yard & would like the front of the pool to be flush or closest to the ground. We don't mind the back being exposed or partially exposed,because it will be closest to the fence & plan to put the pump,equipment,etc....on that side. I've read that Doughboy makes the only AGP that can be buried, is this correct? We recently went to the Dallas Home & Garden show & worked out a deal with a company that sells Discovery & Nova brand pools, but don't want to purchase this brand, if we can't at least semi bury it....any input would be helpful, thanx in advance......
