Message: [QUOTE="huskeynut, post: 3985061, member: 750"] When we lived in Danbury and the boys were young, we had an above ground pool. 48" high, 24 foot circular. Maintenance was not that bad. The prep for winter was a pain. Drain the pool down, blow up the pillows and tie them off. Pull on the cover and tie it off. The winter maintenance. As snow and rain develop over winter, you have to pump off the cover because of the weight. One night in late January we heard a loud bang. Had no idea what is was and could really see anything at night. Next morning, the wife looked out in the back yard and found the source of the "bang." The weight on the cover had collapsed the pool. Waited until spring to see the damage. Total loss. One month later a new pool was up. 24 foot circular diameter and 52" high. Bottom line - it was worth it. [/QUOTE]
