Don, when it rains hard, does water collect in the area around the outside of the pool? I haven't looked at the whole thread and may have missed a drain installation. I guess it's possible with your sand that water doesn't pool there.
Jim, the north side of the pool (near the ladder) is open to downhill. I have seen about 2" of water around the pool right after a heavy rain but it quickly absorbs into the beach like sand around the pool.
A magnificently constructed swimming pool is a dream to all.However once you have decided to construct a pool,there are so many thoughts that walk in randomly.
Me and my wife also looking forward to install above ground pool in home.This information will be helpful for me.thanks everyone...
