Will it be a problem if I have a few wrinkles 1/2″x3’long on the bottom of my non balloon top above ground pool. It is sooo hard to get all the wrinkles out!!!!! Also, my husband dug out a square flat spot in our yard, now there are sand covered areas that are a couple feet deep at two sides. Can we backfill up against the pool without causing damage? If so, with what? Thank you so much! Paula

Answer:

A few wrinkles are not the end of the world as long as they are not large enough that something or someone would get caught on them and then cause the liner to tear, presenting a much bigger problem. Additionally, you can certainly fill in the sandy areas with sand or topsoil being careful not to put undue pressure on the pool sides.
