How do I go about filling in my pool?
Q. I am about to purchase a home with an in-ground pool. I have a 1 1/2 year old son and the wife will not back down from nothing less than filling in the pool to keep my son from any accidents. The pool is a concrete pool about 6 feet deep at the deep end. I have talked her down from digging the pool up or filling in the pool with concrete. I talked her into filling the pool untill our son is old enough, then un-fill it and use it. so my real question is, how do I fill in a pool for a couple of years so I can dig it back out and use it when the time is right? I don't know exactly how big it is, it's about regular mid sized, I guess. I did hear that if the pool wasn't filled with anything( sand, dirt, water, gravel, ect...) to weight… [cont.]

A. Recommend that if you wish to fill it use sand bags so that when your ready to use it again they can be removed easily. you could fill it half way and put a temp deck over the top of it. I would really go with the sand bags though if you are going to fill then reuse later it will be a huge advantage when the time comes for you to empty it. You also should consider some type of covering to go over the top of it to prevent water from building up in it. Some canvas or heavy tarp covering or a covered deck if you want to get real fancy. you could build a roof over the top of it also.

How do I measure for a backyard pool?
Q. I want to put a portable pool in a small space. The pool is 15x42. Is the 15 the diamater of the pool or do I need to cut the diamater in half ( 7.5) in order to get the true space needed. I have about 10 feet total one way.

A. The 15 is the diameter, half of that would be the radius. The pool is 15 feet across and 42 inches deep. Too big for your stated varea.
