How much above-ground pools weigh
The liner and wall of a 24-foot pool are only 200 to 400 lb, but the volume is large.
The rule that catches people
Accepted once it is cut down.
Worth knowing. Volume, not weight, is what fills the container. Cut the wall into sections and flatten everything.
The cheaper route, if you have one
The steel wall and frame are scrap if you separate them.
Getting it ready
Drain it well before you start, and check where the water is allowed to go, since chlorinated water into a storm drain is a problem in a lot of places. Cut the liner into strips rather than trying to move it whole, because a wet liner is far heavier than it looks. The wall panels and frame are steel or aluminium and have scrap value on their own.
Weight is what turns a quote into a bigger invoice, so how overage works is worth reading if this is going in with a full load. See what else fits in a 20 yard.
