Hi, Im by far a pool expert. But we just took down a 18 foot above ground pool that was ten years old. We had to make room for a new house. Our original plan was to put it back up in a new spot once the house was done. Well after three days of my husband and I taking it down, we realized that it was not worth the hassle of putting it back up ourselves. the wall of the pool is very heavy and lots of the bolts had rusted. Considering we would have to had to hire someone to come in with a backhoe and level out an area, then get sand to level, and then buy a new liner, we figured it would be best to save up extra money and go for a brand new pool and have the company install it.
This year we ended up putting up an Intex easy set pool. We got a 16 foot by 42 inch pool and it was on sale for $179. I would suggest going that route first to see if you even enjoy having a pool. Although I don't see why you wouldn't. Pools are great! But it would be a bummer if you did all that work to find out you didn't like having a pool.
