Sand can be used as a border on the exterior of above ground steel pool walls.
Sand is often used around pools for aesthetic purposes and to facilitate drainage, but it is not specifically recommended as a border for structural purposes. Instead, a sand base and sand cove are commonly used under the pool liner to support the structure. Using sand purely as an exterior border without it being part of the support structure may not provide additional benefits and could lead to issues with stability or cleanliness.

Sand is a good border on the exterior of above ground steel pool walls.
While sand can be used for aesthetic purposes around pools, and it aids in drainage, it is not typically recommended as an exterior border purely for structural purposes. Sand bases and coves are used to support the pool liner, which affects the pool's stability. Improper use of sand can create issues with maintenance and stability if not managed properly.
