Need advice, Buying a used Above Ground Pool?

[poolmom06]

I did this last summer and here is my advice... for one, if you are getting a good deal, do it!
Before it comes down, take pictures of EVERYTHING, every connection, every piece, every upright, etc... ( unless you are paying someone to disassemble and reinstall) pay very close attention to how everything goes together. We took ours down at the old place so we knew how it went back up. We cleared, leveled our spot and put our stones in( must go under each upright,be level and level with one on each side, this takes alot of time but you will be glad you took the time) Then we went and took it down, brought it to our property and laid everything out, then the fun began. Make sure you get one of the installers here to give to step by step instructions. You can do it, we did and I think we enjoy it so much more because we did!
If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me!!

I was given a 16x30 above ground pool in april, the pool was already taken down and in a bunch of parts! I began searching the internet and found it is a Muskin Fairmont. Then I found Pool Solutions.. This place is the greatest! If you have any questions related to the reinstall, Dennis or Matt along with numerious others have the answers. As with mine, I sanded and painted all the parts, reassembeled the pool and bought a new liner. If you didn't know it you would think it was new one but at a savings of about $5000. Don't expect to find new replacement parts, but if your handy or know someone who is, you can fabricate new replacement parts. I'd do it again!

Hi, You have been given some great advice. Like Matt said, if rust is not an issue you should be good to go. As Todd said, we are here to help should you need it.

Here is a good thread about a used pool taken down, moved and reistalled.
