Well it was a lot more work than I could have imagined and unfortunately the pool settled a lot when filling and the shape of the pool kinda food what it wants but I'm happy with it.

Next I plan to cover the outside liner with something to protect it from being warn down by the sun. Thinking of a wood frame with plywood and hanging black drip tubing back and forth and running a seperate pump through it to make a cheap solar heater. Waters already hitting 91deg in 3 short days but thinking about extending season already.

One problem I have is where do I hook up vacuum hose up. I have 2 inlets that are maybe 1in. Thinking make an adapter to go into one of them and block the second one.

Also I had no idea how expensive chemicals were. Clorox app says I need to add $150 in chemicals to it. Hopefully not each month.

Deck build coming soon. Will take detailed photos for those interested. I'm building 16x12 along middle of long side. Will build in away that it's easy to change out liner or pool but also come over pool edge

2nd plan is a simple shade cloth to keep sunscreen out of pool and not get burned. Thinking 4 4x6 posts on corners of pool. Bolt steel cable across long sides. Using a shade cloth with metal rings in grommets to be able to retract and put up only when in use to prevent excessive wear and stretching. Lots of work left to do and I still haven't found time to finish cleaning pool from setting up.
