Your Questions About Swimming Pool Decks Above Ground

Thursday, May 19th, 2011 by Suntan

Lizzie asks…

What size dumpster would I need for an above ground pool?

I am taking down a 16×32 foot oval above ground swimming pool & a small deck. What size dumpster would I need or how much do you think this would weigh? Thanks.

Suntan answers:

You really don’t have to be concerned about weight follow the link and pick your size

Paul asks…

I keep finding some very small pebbles in my above ground swimming pool?

I have an above ground pool., I have pea gravel all around the ground around the pool., getting into the pool is above ground deck from the house., so you don’t have to go anywhere around the pool first. I have some straw in some areas for grass growing., but the last two days we found about seven small stones in the bottom of the pool….could birds be picking them up and dropping them???we are confused as how they are getting in the pool?

Suntan answers:

Hey Whirl Wind 123,

Birds use stones to help them grind up their food. Perhaps you have put down the right size for them, then as the pick them up – perhaps drop them on the filght out. It is known as Grit – and is the punch line to “what do you find in the bottom of a bird cage that ends with the letters ‘it’?”

My first thought was an animal at night, but when you mentioned birds, this has to be it.

Above Ground Pool With Deck???

Thinking about buying an oval above ground swimming pool (18′X33′) and building a nice deck all the way around it so it basically looks similar to an in-ground pool. My question: Would the pool last for several years this way or need to be replaced after a few years?

Suntan answers:

Above grounds with decks are fine, but you should leave room for that liner replacement……think it through…..you need access to that top rail, remove it and hook the liner onto the sidewall, replace the top rail. The liner replacement would be better if you didn’t have to walk around the interior of the pool, messing up the sand, as you pull that liner.

Also remember the sides of the deck are elevated and create a falling hazard for young as well as adults. I’ve seen where people have installed the flexible nets on the outside of the decks ….like on trampolines…to prevent falling.

Lisa asks…

ARE ABOVE GROUND SWIMMING POOLS ANY GOOD?

so im wanting to get a above ground pull we used to have a in ground in the earley 90′s but got it smashed up and burried it now were wanting one again but a above ground with a deck and im just curious if there any good
i dont swim much so juust lo relax but i was meaning like do tey colappse easy and stuff like that

Suntan answers:

Above ground has it’s advantages. Much less expensive. Not as permanent. Nice to swim in and cool off. Relatively easy to install.

The disadvantages over an in-ground — basically the depth. You can’t dive in an above ground, obviously. And above ground are usually smaller than in ground. So it depends on what you mean by “any good.”
Edit: No, they don’t collapse. I mean, it’s not unheard of, but it’s extremely rare, like struck by lightening rare.
I would go with a steel walled pool for durability, rather than the cheap ones that are basically a liner and pipe frame.
My parents have had the same steel walled pool for 15 years with no problems. (They replaced the liner once in all those years. )

Sandra asks…

What would be the approximate cost of civil work for installation of pre-fab swimming pool?

I want to install a pre-fabricated swimming pool of size 39 ft. x 15 ft. and depth of 4 ft. 4 inches. I would like to know what would be the cost of civil works like excavation in soft soil, decking with simple tiles and a plant room of 10 m2. I want to install the pool half in ground and half above. I have already got a quote for the pool and filteration plant.

Suntan answers:

Hi
As you have asked for a Pre-Fabricated pool,the size of the pool is actually 38′x15′(11.6×4.5m) with constant depth of 4′.
The approximate price of pool will be 10Laks+ Installation+Forwarding+TAX.

You have another option of Gunited pool which can be worked out.

Above ground pool questions…..?

Ok first of all let me start out by saying thank you to anyone who can answer these because my husband and I are going nuts trying to figure it out!
We bought the house 2 years ago and it came with an above ground pool 21″ whatever that means… it’s a round one. (As you can tell my husband deals with it mostly I just swim in it!) Anyway the questions I have are….
1.) On the pool deck there’s outdoor carpeting that looks like mold it’s so old and gross ( I refuse to walk on it without my flip flops!) and I want to replace it, but the people at the pool store said I would have to take the deck apart and relay the carpeting professionally… that sounds like a load of crap to me like they’re just trying to make money off a clueless pregnant girl… The old carpeting looks like it was laid down under pieces of metal glued and then the metal was bolted on. Couldn’t I just tear the old crap out and glue down new stuff? Maybe that’s just a lazy way to go about it, but couldn’t that work?
2nd question.) The pool place also sold us $150 worth of chemicals, which I’m scared to use because I’m 4 1/2 months pregnant… does anyone know if using natural products with only a little chlorine would be ok? Or do the same thing?

Please any answers at this point will be so helpful!

Suntan answers:

I used to have a loose carpet around mine and that way in the winter, I just rolled it up and hung it on the side of the garage. And yes the guy is lying to you. For the chemicals call a spa shop and ask…………wouldn’t have to have many….just the correct amounts………..dirty water can hurt you also……..just do it………..have fun.

Susan asks…

Swimming Pool pricing help?

I’ve looked at a lot of sites about how much an above ground pool will cost, but none of them tell me exactly how much everything will cost.
I want to know how much it’ll cost to have an above ground pool installed in my backyard along with a deck and all the stuff I will need to buy along with it. I saw a site that will install a pool for $3000 and it’s 18ft x 33ft and 4ft deep. Good price?
Thanks in advance. Sites are welcomed.

Suntan answers:

I just got a pool!
My parents payed $4200 with a deck, pool cleaner etc. (But we also had a spraying feature wall built in)
$3000 is definately a good price, but keep looking around getting quotes!
Hope I helped :)

Jenny asks…

What’s an aesthetic design for the exterior of a swimming pool?

recently, I had installed an above ground 12 foot diameter pool. the grass has been killed off around the surrounding area, and I have only had time to put a few potted tropical plants in places.
I wont be doing any major work now with summer almost over, but I want to design over the winter something nice to do for next year. A running deck even to the top of the pool isnt an option. but what about one that is 1 foot off the ground? so that it could be walked on, have pool toys sit there and that way my kids and i dont have to walk in the mud around it?
should it be wood or some other material? wood seems like high maintenance. I guess I could just build a landscaping bed but it might get ruined with too muich water when it splashes out and it drains when i clean it once a month.

thank you for any suggestions.:)

Suntan answers:

One thing you might consider is a cool deck this is a deck that no matter how hot it gets this deck will not burn your feet.they do work i have been on them bare footed. And you can have any color you want owner of pool company for eleven years.
