Dimension of Intex Ultra Frame 24x12

[DianeF1]

We had to replace our old Intex pool and decided to downsize so the blocks we used under our former pool legs will not be in the proper location. We are going to install the intex ultra frame that is 24x12. Question....when putting our blocks under the legs so that they remain level and don't sink into the ground what is the true distance? I think the legs extended slightly more but I don't remember.

Does anyone know the true dimension of the rectangle?

They don't say in the directions? (This is a real question as I would think they would but you never know). I hope someone has an answer for you.

I haven't posted much but Micklin posted the dimensions in a post about groud prep for a 12x24 intex pool . Hope this helps Eroy

Roy, I did a search for this name but I was not able to find anything. Any other clues to where this might be? Even a thread name would be helpful. THANKS!

Here you go!
center-to-center for the long side support legs is 44", short side is 40"

You are AWESOME!!!

Bless all of you! Now to pray for nice weather but no too hot this weekend so we can get the leveling completed. I am grateful that the whole site is level - just have to move some blocks.

That drawing always confuses me. B=12ft but C starts the same on one end as B but measures to just the outside of 1 area. so do we have to add another 1'10" to get the true bottom outside dimensions?
same thing with trying to figure out the top width. E shows that its measuring from the bottom edge of the pool on the left then to the inside of the top edge on the right.

 

[Mickelin]

Measurements are correct, it is just the drawing that is a bit unintuitive. You have to imagine the lines at the far side being separated, just like they are on the near side.

 

[freon]

so are you telling me the total outside dimension from support leg to support leg is the "c" ?

because the line clearly starts on the same edge as the liner dimension. "b" and ends past b to the outer support leg.

 

[JoeSelf]

Drafting mistake, both should go past.

Correct. Don't get hung up on the poor drawing, just stick to the column headings.

So the support legs stick out 11" on each side? Because another thread a guy said 18-20"

 

[Mickelin]

11" at the bottom (c-b), 18" at the top (c-e)

The reason this part is critical for me is that I plan to build. 12x24 deck on one side that us also parallel to my house. I was planning to set the bottom of the pool not the braces 10'8" from the edge of the house. That would make the top rails 11" further from the house for a total of 11'7" for a deck length and a few inches of play using 12' boards. I just didn't want to mistakingly end up putting it where a 12' board was short and having to buy all 14' lengths now.

 

[Mickelin]

Not sure exactly how your deckdesign will be, but if you make a drawing I can provide any specific measurements you need. Here are some pics of my deck construction for inspiration.

Thats kind of what i have planned. Acutally just setting the pool this year, then Deck next year if everyone helps out and uses the pool enough to justify the deck build. I just needed to be sure when i level the area for the bottom of the pool and sand it that im not too far away from the house now for a 12' board to reach the top rails.

 

[freon]

so judging by 1square=1ft above i will need to move the pool at least 1' under the deck so probably 1'6" to be safe.
