Like you, I was curious 5 years ago and wanted to know if I could bury an INTEX Frame AG pool. So, after some searching on the internet and trying out various methods. I finally found a way that works.

How to Bury an Intex Above Ground Pool
I can assure you that it works out great if you follow a few good rules – Avoid SHARP objects or rocks in dirt on back fill or bottom.
Also, don’t backfill against the liner and you should be fine. Mine is a slope, so I had to dig down about 20” at the high end and so far, I have no issues whatsoever.

Some people prefer burying their pool 30” in the ground with a cone slop to the middle. Then, fill it but not to the wall. Only backfill with clean earth. The whole process from start to finish wouldn’t last more than 10 days.
I have added some pictures that explains how we did ours.
