A word about above ground swimming pools...

Dont do it, it is never a good idea unless its a smaller one that require little to no maintenance.  My wife's uncle gave us a use 18' 42" tall above ground pool, WHAT A JERK.  Needed a new pump, no big deal, 80 bucks, but there is so much more.  I am pretty sure it has cost close to 700 bucks now for this free pool.  not to mention the days of work I had to put in to leveling the yard, digging up the grass, etc...

DONT DO IT

Ginsu Victim:
I almost bought one but then realized how much work would go into maintaining it and I changed my mind.

CheffoJeffo:
Are you somehow suggesting that inground requires less work ?  :dizzy:

I dunno ... mine is working out fine. Kids love it and I had it set up and ready to fill in about 2 hours.

If maintenance is an issue, then I would suggest that you've picked the wrong hobby.

My wife made me do it, I fought up and down about it, but just got me in more trouble and I still had to put it up.

When I was a kid we had a 15' Round Above-Ground pool.   Spent more time cleaning the pool than actually going in it.   It's worth it if you like to entertain or you know people are using it everyday - otherwise, a big pain!
