We bought an Intex pool for our yard and put it up last week. We leveled the ground and put up up over the grass.
After 2 days we noticed it was sinking into the soil on one side and had a slight tilt to it, so we emptied the pool and I picked up some pavers from the local garden center and dug out the soil under each support pole so that the paver would fit right in and not be stcking out to rub against the liner. Then filled the pool back up.
Its been a few days now and we have been in it a few times and so far, its doing well. No sinking and the pool seems a lot more stable. we live in NY City area and plan to keep it up over the winter after winterizing it in the fall.
Is ther anything Im over looking hear? I hope I did this right. I dont expect to get more than 2 or 3 years out of it. If I do, ill be happy with it.
Thanks for any advice.
