This was our first pool. I would recommend researching in full before purchasing an above ground pool. Way more involved than we expected. You can’t just buy and put up. 
So much more has to be done. We figured we committed, so leveled the ground the best we could. Filled. Still unlevel. We are just hoping it’s okay for the summer and will revisit the more leveling next summer when we get it up again. The pool is nice, seems sturdy. We did not get the shaded canopy as advertised. Which we were a little bummed about. Thought it would have added some privacy from the neighbors. We decided that we could just attach a piece of lattice to the pool instead. And some umbrella’s if needed. We’ll see how this pool hold up. So far so good!
