Looking for some above ground pool advice? When you were little, you were probably told to follow directions on a regular basis—times haven’t changed. Above ground pools are tricky and you have to pay attention to the instructions carefully. There are a lot of universal similarities with all of the models.

One feature you will find in all above ground swimming pools is the bottom rail (this is a metal frame that outlines the bottom of the pool). These metal frames also hold pool walls in place.

*Keep in mind, round pools can support themselves. However, oval pools will need additional outer support to prevent a cave in when the pool is full.
