leveling

Greetings from Montana- My name is Christian and my wife is Fran. I have been on a journey in terms of pools. When I was young, we lived in Los Angeles and had a kidney shaped in ground pool where I learned to swim at quite a young age, say 2 or 3yo. I will give you a bit of history as to...

I installed my first pool (Intex 18x9x52 XTR) about a month ago. I did my best to level the ground and the legs support using regular and laser levels. The pool is on compacted crushed granite covered with R-TECH panels and thick tarp. For leg support I used 4-inch thick concrete retaining wall...

Hi All, About a month ago I was given a super-janky Intex EasySet 15' pool w/cartridge filter pump for free. I've managed to keep it alive for the last 4wks, and with daily doses of 10% liquid bleach it's been algae-free and mostly clear the entire time (minus the fine dirt/dust floating around...

Hello, I hired one of my cities most known lawn and landscaping companies to level my pool. The pool is an Intex 23’x12’x52” (not the one I ordered, but the one that showed up). My back yard is at a little bit of a slope and so they had to add dirt to get the one side up around 3-5 inches...

We upgraded this year to an intex 16x32. We opted to have the ground leveled professionally since we historically have not been great at it. We started to fill the pool after they “leveled” and it was over 6 inches off. They can back and reveled….by building up sand. They moved the pool back...

Hi. So we've set up our 15x48 Intex pool and were very diligent in leveling the ground. Once the pool was set up we went around with both a line level and an board with a regular level on top to confirm before filling and we were all set. Now that the pool is filled the water level is deeper on...

Hi all, I am going to be digging and leveling out the foundation this weekend for our new Intex 18' x 48" above ground pool. 1. I see that Menards has lots of different foam board insulation thicknesses available, what is the preferred thickness I should buy? 3/4", 1", 2", 4"? 2. Does the...

Hey guys, new to the forum here and could sure use some help. I had my metal framed intex pool set up last year on a paver patio, and there was about a 2.5" difference in level. This year, I thought I would correct this. My thought was to use Owen Corning Foamular board (100 psi strength)...

This weekend I broke ground for the new Intex 32ft X 16ft X 52in Ultra XTR Frame Pool Set that is boxed up on a pallet in my garage. The site I am preparing is 40ft x 20ft that slopes 22" between the highest and lowest corners. I used the front end loader and back blade on my tractor to get...

What do you guys do for landscaping around yours? Our yard was pretty unlevel so it’s lower in the front and raised in the back in comparison to the surrounding ground. This brings me to my other question: how uneven can it be before I should be concerned? Measurements I just took were 13” at...

Going to post this here in the hopes of preventing someone else to run into the issue we had with our setup. Not an issue with the pool, but an issue with how we interpreted the instructions. In other words, don't be rushed and make mistakes like we did. We got a 9x18 above ground metal frame...

Working on leveling bottom track. Have a few pavers in. all level and set at the same height but there are gaps under the track, causing the actual track to be out of level. Do I just pack dirt underneath the track to bring it up to level or will this cause issues later on? Also considered...
