  1. Why should I buy Above Ground Pools?  You've already decided that you want a pool, right?

  1. What type of Above Ground Pool Should I Buy?  This is a difficult question to answer because everyone's tastes, styles and pocketbooks are different.  But there are some basic points which will help you draw a conclusion on which type of above ground pool to purchase. First, Do you want a 48" or 52" deep pool.  Second, What size pool and shape best fits your backyard and your family.  Third, Determine which wall pattern fits your landscaping and community.  Typically you want to get a pool that compliments your backyard vacation area.  If the pool is the focus of the backyard then choose a pattern which fits the family personality.  Lastly, Always choose a pool with a SOLID warranty.  Above ground pools can last for years if you choose the right one.  Models which offer 100% warranty's or guarantees for the first two or three years and then have a long pro-rated warranty period generally are the better pools.  We offer two above ground pools that have the absolute best warranty on the market today.  What's even better is that their priced affordably.  They are the Malibu and the Voyager LX.  We also have 5 other high quality above ground pools. We are the professionals and we sell professional grade pools at affordable prices.0

  1. How long does it take to put up the pool?  Once the site is level an above ground pool is typically assembled using 3 people in 1 day.  To be on the safe side plan on a weekend.

  2. How many people does it take to put up the pool?  Two people can put up most above ground pools, but we recommend that you always have that extra hand so we say 3.

  3. Can I bury the pool in the ground?  One of the potential dangers of burying a pool in the ground is the ground pressure pushing the side walls in and they collapse on someone.

  1. How many patio blocks do I need to go under the uprights?  Simply Add the number of uprights in the pool package and divide it in half because you can take a standard 12" x 12" x 1" patio block and have it cut in half.  (Hint: You can usually have the patio blocks cut at the supply store.)

  1. What size should the patio blocks be?  12" x 12" x 1" which can then be 'scored' and then halved.

  1. How many yards of sand do I need to put down for the pool, under the liner?  Numbers are approximate.

    15' Round 1 Yard 15' x 26' Oval 3 Yards
    18' Round 1-1/2 - 2 Yards 15' x 30' Oval 3 - 3-1/2 Yards
    24' Round 3 - 3-1/2 Yards 18' x 33' Oval 4 - 5 Yards
    28' Round 4 Yards   
    33' Round 6 Yards   

  1. Do I have to use sand?  No, not exactly.  The reason you use sand in the pool bottom is because the liner manufacturers require a non-abrasive material between the liner and the ground.  A product called Happy Bottom or Perfect Pool Pad is great for reducing sand required.

  2. How many gallons of water are in above ground pools? Gallons are approximate. The 52" represents the above ground pool wall height.
