TEN POINTS*

~~~~~~~~~

I want to get this pool. It is this or nothing. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d...

We have a small raised patio where our table used to be. It is made with cement bricks tiled in a square with a layer of fake grass layed overtop it. ***We cannot take it out.***** It is about 1-2cm higher then the grass around it. If i get the pool, it will have to be HALF on it, and half on the grass around it. My dad is concerned that the edge of the patio thing would rip the pool iin a week. I had a pool similar to this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d... Same design at least. I believe THAT would break, because there is no support and it is incredibly bottom heavy…but the pool I WANT has poles and would rely more on them then on the ground…if that makes sense.

Answer 1

First of all, I couldn't get any of your three links to work, so a little guess-work is necessary.

Secondly, based on the number of questions that appear in this section regarding problems with leveling quickset pools, I would be concerned about have two different surfaces under the pool. I think that's a red flag right there.

Thirdly, don't kid yourself about legs supporting the pool. I think water is a lot heavier than you think it is.

Based on your words (no pictures, because I couldn't see them), I would advise against getting this pool.

Sorry.

Answer 2

i think you should try evening both sides out, if that's possible.
