    You think that can be answered in a simple thread?

    Actually the answer that CAN fit in this thread is hire a licensed and experienced pool contractor with that sort of experience that knows what all needs done and to find out IF it can even be done.

    I doubt that your house was built to take the weight. The fact that you are asking without any mention of your structure is not a good sign.
