Bought a 27" ag round tonight

Thank you for all of your insight...I guess I am reading some more....and the permit, since I am having the pool installed I do need that permit or they will NOT install. My backyard is 120 x 220 and I just had a tree removed out of the only two (2) that I had since both were 40 ft from the house. Now all that is my way is the one (1) tree and the shed in my back yard. The install contract said that within one (1) year they will re-install the pool if it is more than 1" out of level.

What you have to do is apply for a "Variance". Every town is different but ask how you can do that. No building inspector will EVER volunteer that you can go that route, but the clerk at town hall or the building office may be able to help you.

We can't run pools lengthwise in our town, only cross-wise, but the people behind me are doing it--they got the variance. (they just can't get the contractor to plaster the darn thing!)

With an AG pool it shouldn't be a problem. The reason you WANT to get it approved is that in the event something bad happens, your home-ownders insurance company can stiff you and refuse to pay saying "it wasn't an approved structure".
