I just am wondering after all I've read..(like 3 installation manuals) whether my husband and a few friends couldn't get this thing up on their own? Is it really that difficult to put up an above ground? geesh..
Wow $800 is very high I think. The hardest part is leveling the ground. If thats already done its very easy to put the pool up. Last August me and my brother in law put up both of our pools with the help of a guy that does it on the side. Now looking back it was relatively easy to do aside from leveling. That took the most time.

The walls went up pretty fast with 3 of us. We used little clips we got from Home Depot and mason string to support the walls on the outside and used shovels on the inside.
