re: Above ground pools. Trashy or not? What say the OT.

If finished out with a nice deck setup they're fine. Hell, I've seen some in ground pools that are trashier.

I bought a house that had one of these. Nothing but headache.

Turns out they didn’t do the drainage right and runoff from gutters and rain in general undermined under the pool and the pool “failed” a little over a year after I bought it.

Then it turns out they hadn’t put the pool up right in the first place and it wasn’t a true circle, so the hole in the deck they built around it wasn’t round.

Which meant I couldn’t just fix the drainage issues and install a new pool.

In a fit of rage, I tore it all out, remodeled the deck, and put in a fire pit. One of the best decisions I’ve made since buying the house.
