Should I install my new pool now or wait until early Spring?

Hello! My first post here. This place is so full of knowledge and help! I’m new to having a pool so it is so great having this as a resource!

Purchased a 27 ft round Aurora above ground pool. Should be here next week. Plan is to have it up and running for next Spring. We are planning on adding onto our deck once the pool is up. My question, should I set the pool up now (late summer/fall) so I can get the deck installed (hiring that part done) over the winter or just wait and tackle it in the early spring? I don’t really want to completely fill the pool until spring but I realize they recommend you add some water to put the liner in. I also have a lot more time to work on the pool setup now as opposed to the spring. (I’m a farmer and Spring gets really busy!) I guess the other option if we have a warm Fall would be just to completely setup and fill the pool now and then winterize. I did purchase a heater as well so that would help extend the season a little.

Thanks!
Scott
