A common question asked is, “Can above ground pools stay up year round?” And although the easy answer is that “Yes, they can,” whether you want to leave them up year-round really depends on the type of pool you have.

In warmer climates, Intex advises to keep your pool up, if you prefer. However, you must winterize the pool when keeping it full throughout the winter.

How deep does a pool have to be for a slide?
Slides must be installed over a water depth of at least 36 inches, dropping to 42-54 inches as you move away from the slide.
