Has anyone painted or put fencing around their above ground pool?

Question

I want to buy a sand dollar 2 by doughboy. I hate the outside of all above ground pools. I want it to look more natural. Has anyone tried to put bamboo type fencing around it or painted the pool? I would like a neutral color instead of the modern 80's designs these pools have. thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I built a deck and fence around my uncle's above ground pool.  Painting the pool itself is a bit more problematic, however.  In-ground pools need epoxy paint to seal the concrete, but you cannot use epoxy paint on an above-ground pool.  It would melt the material or eat right through it.  Use an acrylic paint, but remember that you will probably have to repaint every other year.  Here's a guide:
