New pool installation.. yes, in September.. :-/

[CliffTex]

Congrats on the new pool!

I just put my pool up last weekend (finally finished) after many hours of my brother in-laws help. We are here in Central Texas where many hot days are left and will still get plenty of pool time. What I learned during during my DIY installation was how important being absolutly level was. Make sure the installer is using a laser level (which I did not have) throughout every phase of the installation. Also, I am not sure what kind of base you have but make sure your chances of settling are reduced to a minimum. What I thought was only a 1/2" rise between each side of my pool ended up being 2" after the thing was full. No walls are bulging nor do I have any buckles but my pool is just perfectly slanted from one side to the other. It was nice that I got it level in a slanted kinda way . Anyhow, lesson learned and that extra $60 for a laser level would have avoided me from my personal eyesore (slaps forehead) for a few years to come. Most everyone says they can't hardly tell it is just the fact that I know it is there that bothers me.

Anyhow, Good luck and enjoy your new pool!
