Ben is, of course, right. Since you're warned, if you decide to proceed, I'll add that when you put it up you have to build it on level - measured level - NOT looks level undisturbed soil.

Re: Removing an above ground pool
Thanks Dave. The 'looks-level' vs. 'is-level' problem seems to trip up a lot of people.
JGowens, if you decide NOT to take the offer, I'd encourage you to look at an Intex Ultra 18' or larger. You can get them for under $1,000, you can install it yourself, and they seem to last 3 - 6 years. That's a much easier and cheaper way to find out if your family will really enjoy a pool. And, Intex Ultra pools *can* be taken down and moved, fairly easily.
(That's the Ultra pole, with the steel tubing frame, and NOT the Easy Set doughnut pools, which seem to fail pretty quickly.)

Been there, done that. Regarding disassembling & moving an existing pool. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
