Buying a Used Pool

by Rosa VanBibber

We are considering the purchase of a used above ground pool. It is 24 feet round 4 feet deep. I know it needs a new liner already. My question is if we take this pool down (the current owners want it out) do we have to put it back up right away or can it be stored till spring when we will have more time to do it? Could that damage the pool somehow? Again I will be putting in a new liner anyway so we won't have to worry about dry rot.
Thanks

Hi Rosa. You will not have any problems storing your pool over the winter. The liner could be purchased anytime and stored also. As long as the liner remains in the box it will store for many years and still be usable. Keep it as dry as possible and it should be good to go in the spring.
