When you buy an above ground pool you will likely purchase a "kit" which will include all the parts, pieces and equipment needed to operate your swimming pool. Installation of the kit is an advanced project for the average homeowner and often professional installers are required for successful installation.



The average installation can be completed in two working days by two qualified installers however the average homeowner may experience up to two weeks to complete the installation. The stages of above ground pool installation include preparing and levelling the ground area, compacting the ground, installing perimeter walls, prepping the interior floor surface, hanging the liner and finally the pump, filter and skimmer installation.

Installing the kit so that the pool is completely level can be difficult for amateur installers. In addition to the pool kit itself you will also require sand, compacting equipment and various hand tools and measuring devices. Special care must be given to achieve a uniform and well compacted are for the pool to reduce the possibility for shifting and sinking in the future.
