Ask the vendor if their product can be installed above ground and request complete installation instructions (make sure this doesn't void their warranty). You will most likely have to build a wood deck around the pool with substantial bracing for the side walls of the pool. Our Alaglass pool is installed partially above ground (4 feet out of the ground at the deep end) but getting correct installation guidelines from the factory was extremely difficult until we asked the right person then it was a simple fax of 2 pages. We braced the pool with much more substantial bracing than called for by their instructions ( we felt their instructions weren't adequate and didn't match their current pool construction).
