27ft Above Ground Pool Installation

How many people do you need to install a 27ft above ground pool? We purchased a second hand one and need to get it set up. The ground work is done.


Hi Rose. How many people you have is not nearly as important as having at least one person that knows what he, or she, is doing. During the slower times of our pool season my wife and I build them by ourselves. If she is not available to help I do them myself. During our busy time I may have up to four helpers to speed things up.

To work alone you need to know exactly what you are doing, and have plenty of knowledge in how to get it done, without getting in a bind needing extra hands. Two people get the job done just fine. There is no part of the pool that two people cannot lift, or work together, to assemble.

The worst pool disasters can happen because of to many drinking helpers, or to many know it all helpers. The stories I could tell could go on forever. I have seen so many pool disasters caused by drinking buddies or know it all relatives. One person can do the entire job, if need be.

I do, however, prefer working with my wife. She is just plain fun to be around and she does a great job.
