Q: How do you patch a pool liner underwater?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need to drain the whole pool to patch a pool liner, but be prepared to dive in with your swimsuit and goggles to patch a leak below the water level. By draining the pool, you can actually expose the liner to more harsh conditions, like wind and sunlight, that cause the tears to worsen. It&rsquo;s best to use the ink test and waterproof patches or tape to identify the leak and patch it up.</p></div>

Q: How much room do you need around a pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-choose-a-swimming-pool-design.htm">When designing your dream pool</a>, it's important to leave enough room for safe walkways, patios, and extras such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Your local building codes may specify the minimum space between your pool and your house, utility lines, and property line. In most cases, the area of the patio around the pool should be equal to or greater than the surface area of the pool.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to put sand under an above ground pool?

• <div><p>While you can install an above ground pool on most level surfaces, you&rsquo;ll need sand to protect your liner from tearing. For example, rocks, plants, and twigs can take a toll on your liner. Adding sand will help level the pool even more. For additional support, you can also use angled foam or a foam pool cove.</p></div>

Q: How many people fit in a 12-by-24-foot above ground pool?

• <div><p>The popular 12-by-24-foot oval above ground pool is ideal for a family of four or a group of four to five people at most. This above ground pool size is popular for balancing space in a backyard and easy use and leaves room for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/above-ground-pool-deck-ideas.htm">designing a pool deck</a> or patio.</p></div>

Did what I asked except that paid for a deck made of aluminum that wasn’t supposed to leak on my patio below. The deck leaks at each rain, called to have someone to come a check it, promised they would come. No one showed up and never got a call bac. Very disappointed

The installers were courteous and great to work with. We had over 30 windows installed, which obviously took some time. It was obvious towards the end that they were getting pressure from the top to get done. There were some issues with our new patio door that did not get completed correctly....
