My wife and I are looking into buying an above ground this year. We are looking at the Beachland Oval 15'X30' with no buttress. here is the link: http://www.lesliespool.com/shopping/...roductID=13919

My questions are:
Is this a quality pool? If not why? Is this common pricing for this type of pool?

Anyone have experience with this line?

I asked the price for install and the store quoted $1200.

I am disheartened at the price of install, I live in the country and our soil is sand, grading won't be too big an issue. We do have moles don't know what kinda problem that could pose. I have a tractor with grader and am sure I can read instructions and get pool sand delivered. Should I go about this adventure alone or pay a high price for someone to do it for me? What is the time frame for setting a pool like this?
