You could try lots of things, like:\nbeads\nfoam balls with pieces of wood to hold the sides together\npaper mache \nclay \n\nReally anything that you can mold or put together would work.

Go to a local pool store. Bring a sample of your water in and have them check it out and give you the goods to keep it clean and clear

Go to a pool store and buy some test strips.  Lowes or Home Depot may stock them.

put up tons of buoys that block them from getting too close to your pier. Put up a portable screen to block their view...they should get the hint and go away. Then take the screen down until they go away. Try not to wear skimpy bathing suits...??

your concept should be under water, if you are planning it backyard, hang a higher clothesline across both your walls if you have, and you can hang lots of things, you can use all characters to float around. and put some decos on the ground too, if you plan it at night. it is much cooler, when you install lighting. buy blow bubbles too.

Try Carol Wright Gifts website. They sell patio furniture covers, grill covers, and riding lawnmower covers. There should be one big enough in their site.\nhttp://www.carolwrightgifts.com

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

Rubber mulch tends to grab vinyl and might cause problems for you.  The mulch also has edges that can create pressure points.  Sand on the other hand molds to the bottom of the pool liner,  allows the liner to slide on the sand and has no edges or high spots that can create pressure points.  \n\nIf the sand din't work as you wanted, you might not have used enough sand or prepare the ground underneath as well as it could have been.  Exactly how much to use and how to prepare the ground varies greatly depending on the size of pool and the soil in your area.  A trip to your local pool dealer or home center should get you good answers to these questions.  There are alternatives to sand, but they are very expensive and tend to not last very long.\n\nFoam is also sometimes used but u still have to prep the ground and it tends to be more expensive than sand, can grab liners and breaks down in a season or two in many cases.

You might want to consider using a double wall, with air in between the inner and outer wall. If I remember correctly, air is a very poor heat conductor. Of course, like someone suggested, vacuum would be better, but that's a bit of a stretch. Air would probably work almost as good. The walls should be made out of thermo-insulants (ebonite, I believe)  and/or high heat capacity materials. Covering the outside of the box in aluminium foil would help, if the heat was generated by a source of light (like the sun), but would useless if the heat came from somehwere else. Likewise, painting the box in black would help the water inside stay warm. Covering the inside of the box  with aluminium is as useless as having knees on a fish. Unless you decide you want a lightbulb in the box, for whatever purpose, I'd say it's a waste of time and materials.

Everyone I've ever spoken too who got the idea into their head to make their own table have always come to the same conclusion...not worth the effort.  Pub-sized tables are cheap and readily available.  Just buy a good one from your local billiards retail store.  Cheers.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

i just build my snowboard box this last weekend. last year i built a 16' x 1' x 4' box and i had used plexiglass and it cracked and warped with the temperature changes, so maybe that isn't the way to go. I'm guessing you should go with treflon or perspex? or id say use the stuff from the hockey rinks which probably rang from 60$-80$. idk if i helped any.
