Why is it so hard to find an above ground pool right now?
So, why are there so few available now and why is the demand higher? The answer is COVID-19. COVID-19 has caused many factories in China to slow down manufacturing, which has lead to a decrease in the availability of many products.

What happens if you build a pool without a ground level?
If the ground is not level, then you need to level it first before installing the pool. If you do without leveling the ground, you’ll have to accept an uneven level of water in the pool. The uneven water level will also result in more pressure on one side of the pool and the whole construction may lose its shape and dimensions in a few months.
Is it a pain to build an oval pool?
Ovals are a pain to build regardless as they need to be squared as well. They lose their shape quickly when they aren’t correctly squared. In the end, the oval-shaped pool will be up and hold water, but only after a lot of swearing and cutting and beers.
Why is the bottom of my above ground pool out of shape?
The first is the bottom track isn’t shaped right initially or at all. And the second way occurs when the pool wall comes together. The bottom tracks of above ground swimming pools have to be assembled by sliding them into connectors.
How can I tell if my pool is losing water?
You then mark the water level of the pool on the outside of the bucket and of the water in the bucket on the inside. You then leave it for a few days (ideally) and then measure both the water loss inside and outside the bucket. If the levels have gone down by the same amount, or pretty close, then the water has been lost through evaporation.
Can you have an above ground swimming pool?
Now think of an above ground swimming pool as a giant glass of water. Tilt the pool and the water stays level. I know this sounds obvious, but it’s not to some. Many things that are built can be “off level” and some wouldn’t notice but something that holds water can’t get away with being too “off level”.
What happens if you don’t open your pool?
If you don’t keep up with some maintenance, your pool liner or plaster will deteriorate into a big mess that’s harder and more expensive to open the next time. Another thing you will need to maintain is the water level in the pool. If you have a safety cover, rainfall will raise the pool water levels.
Why is the bottom of my above ground pool not vertical?
Another is when the pool is misshapen or the uprights are not vertical. There is also equipment that leak and/or the skimmer and return fitting that is not tightly installed. Another fairly common shortcoming do-it-yourselfers make is the groundwork. Pool bottoms can be “off level”, lumpy, “foot printy” (official term), rocky, and rough.
What does it mean when your swimming pool is off level?
Remembering that water will always be level (see over-explanation above), your eye may pick up the difference between the perfectly level waterline against the “off level” liner that has a tile print. Pools that are “off level” by more than an inch start to look tilted. If it’s two inches off, you can start to notice from the outside of the pool.
