I have a 12' diameter above-ground pool. The only reasonable place to put it on my property is my patio. I've solved all the other issues (at least the ones I'm aware of), but it occurs to me to wonder: will having a pool on the patio all summer (maybe 8 weeks remaining this year) damage it?
The pool will only be 24" deep. Any reason to be concerned about the actual pressure on the patio? Adult feet generate much higher PSI, though only for a short time.
Will the chemically-treated pool water damage or stain the stone?
The stones under the patio will be cool and wet for about two months. I imagine this will attract a bunch of various critters (ants, etc.) who like it. I guess they might hollow out some real estate under the stones; I've already seen small ant-hill sand piles where I've had other objects on the patio keeping it wet. Might this be a problem?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Barry
