If you have an above ground swimming pool and will be putting in a pool liner, you should use pool cove sticks.
Pool Cove is placed on the ground right next to the pool wall. They provide support for your swimming pool liner against the pool wall. The structural integrity of your above ground swimming pool is also helped by the use of pool cove.
Pool Cove Sticks are 48" long and made from foam. They do not wash out like sand or dirt coves you build by hand.
