4ft Of Snow On Pool

Is my above ground pool in danger of collapsing if the cover has four feet of snow on the cover?



Hi Lori. Cold and snowy winters like this one can cause all kinds of problems for above ground pools. The only things you can really do is to keep the pool as full of water as possible and to get the snow, ice and water off the cover as soon as you can.

Most conditions that may be caused by the freezing ground, or to much snow, will go away when things thaw out. So until then there is no way of knowing if any permanent damage is occurring or not. When spring comes around, if things don't look right, send me a picture and we can go from there.
