I was unable to jack it up. I tried everything. Including a high lift jack. I had to drain the pool.

it does expand some, but i dont remember how much

there was a post on here that showed the dimensions where the supports needed to go I will try to find it

I purchased a normal gazebo from Walmart for $199 & put my main grill just outside of it. Doesnt protect the grill but gives me a nice big shady area to sit. Have my smoker under it as well

That is great news. Well all except the small leaks. You will love that pool. I expect to see lots of pictures as the summer goes on

I am going to put sand up against the walls of my intex & then do smooth gravel instead of mulch. I am afraid of using any plants in the landscaping. Worried about the roots

love the pics hope it fills up soon so you can start enjoying

i did it with a full pool. I wanted to make sure the liner was stretched properly. Completely install the skimmer before making any cuts. Do not cut the white seam that goes around the top.

are you talking about the 16ftx32ftx52in rectangular? If so I did not feel the 2650 that I had was turning over the water enough. I may have been wrong & over thinking everything, but upgrading to a hayward pump & sand filter just made me feel better. I loved the 2650 on my 16ft round & I have...

ask as many questions as you need :) I had actually forgotten about my problems with the skimmer. Yes I kept the hydro tools wide mouth skimmer, but the screws from fastenal did not work. When I was trying to tighten them down to stop leaks they did not hold. I went back to the original screws...

the intex sand filter pump (especially the 2650) is strong enough to run a pool vac. Sand filters filter your water better & no more cartridge filters to replace

definitely upgrade your pump. If you want to stick with an Intex pump do yourself a favor & go with one of the sand filter pumps

to go from the intex fittings I used a trick i learned on this board.. A 1 1/2 inch conduit box adapter (found in the electrical area of hardware store) will fit inside one of the connectors from the Intex hoses. You then glue 1 1/2 in PVC pipe to this adapter. Go to the post in this link...

There was a good post on here where someone uploaded a nice picture\layout of the leg placement for the rectangular pool. It showed the exact location for the legs. I will keep looking for it, but according to Intex you are correct with the measurements

I agree with linen. the round intex pools can be jacked up just enough to get a block under them.
