Time for a nicer pool

[CarlD]

Hi Andy!
That's what I did: An Intex donut for 3 seasons followed by a bigger, permanent installation.
There seems to be two ways to do a partial in-ground. One is to bury a bit an above ground. Many people do this but I think it's risky because AG pools aren't designed for IG use.
The other is many IG pools are a steel frame totally capable of being self-supporting and don't NEED to be inground. These work much better. My next-door neighbor has that kind of installation because it's on a bit of a hill and he has a very high deck around it. So much is AG, but below the deck.

I'm also in the market to replace my pool this spring and am in the investigating stage. I think most inground pool walls would look ugly if not buried, though. I'll be interested to read additional replies to your question.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking into the zoning requirements before i begin this journey. So far all I can see is that I need a 4 foot high fence. I already have this so that should be a non issue. My neighbor put up a nice AG pool late last year. I will try to catch him and see what he has to say. I live in the country so I am not sure if there are any special rules that apply.

Well, my pool is AG and you've seen it, Lisa. I think it looks OK, too.

Yes, your pool does like nice Carl. And we enjoyed swimming in it, too!

I ordered up the new pool over the weekend.
Now to start reading as much as I can before the big installation in a few months.

How exciting! Now, time for homework!
