average cost of above ground doughboy pool

Its an intex, but the ground work is exactly the same for any AGP.ĮDIT to ADD: Also, if you do get this, be prepared to empty the sand filter because it will be too heavy to pick up. Here is one build thread for your reading pleasure.

There are several threads about leveling the ground and how its done. Setting it back up is not quite so easy because of the work to do on the ground. No doubt you will need a trailer to get it all in one trip. That filter is much bigger than you probably imagine. I have serious doubts of being able get it in the bed of a silverado. Would I be able to get a decent new setup (liner/ladder/pump/pool) for <2k? Obviously it wouldn't be a Doughboy for that price but something beyond the blue Intex quality, LOL! I would like to come into this debate strong! This is located about 3 hours from where we live.ġ) How much time will it take to take down this pool with two people? It seems like it being partially buried would make it more difficult to remove.Ģ) Will it fit in the back of a Chevy Silverado in one trip? (we also have a rack if that helps)ģ) Does this seem like a good deal assuming there is no major hidden damage?įrom a time is money standpoint I don't know if it is worth the sweat, drive time, awkwardness of Craigslist interactions, etc. I am 98% sure my husband will nay say the idea (which I haven't brought up to him yet) which is kind of why I am here. It appears to be well maintained though I have no contacted the owner yet.

I was searching on Craigslist and found a 8yr old semi-buried 21' Doughboy with pump, sand filter, cover, solar panel, brush and vacuum for $500.
