My frame pool is tucked into the basement for the winter now. But when we were taking the pool down we found a small scrape like spot on the bottem that will have to be patched before setting it up next spring. I noticed this year the tarp was in bad shape too from the grass trying to get thru the sand and dirt. (We removed the grass and put down sand the first year.) Maybe with some luck I can find a nice cheep "real" above the ground pool on ebay this spring and move up a notch.

Does anyone treat the soil/sand with grass killer before setting up their pools? Do you always replace the ground cloth every year? Kimrst
