We purchased a 15 x 24 above ground pool and plan to put in into a new deck we are also building. We decided to surround the pool so it looks integrated and for its function. I am getting really nervous because I fear that down the road if the pool didn't last could it be replaced simply or would it be a nightmare! I am going with composite decking so it will be an expensive fix.

I guess I am looking for advice/opinions and also information on how above ground steel walled pools last. I purchased the Sharkline Cameo. It is a steel wall pool with a coating so I wonder how it will fare under the deck.

Maybe there are others that have that type of pool and or have the surround deck and can give me their input.

Thanks in advance.

I've updated your membership, and moved your post into the correct section, but I can't really tell you anything about the life expectancy of your particular pool. I also edited your title, so you'd be more likely to get useful responses.

Steel wall pools last anywhere from 5 - 30 years, depending on pool quality, installation quality, and water chemistry. Using salt will tend to shorten the pool's life.
