I have posted something similar here before but this is about the drainage.
I have a 1 foot drop on the high side of my AGP. We plan on putting river rocks around the pool 3/4 to 1 inch stones.
I am not sure how to drain water away from the pool. In my case from the high end to the low end which is the back of the yard.
My plan was to back fill the pool right to the wall with gravel or dirt on the high side. Then put the river rocks on top of that. Here are my concerns.
1) I have a wilbar all steel pool...would backfilling hurt my pool walls ? My pool is not rated for "in ground" use.
2) Im not sure about drainage---someone else suggested I put down a corrugated pipe, I would guess on the bottom. But If I did that I am not sure how
water could possibly even get in there if its underneath rocks and dirt. Furthermore...its a circular type pipe....I would think little critters would get in there as well and block it up.
My pool seems like its eroding away with all the rain we have been getting.
When I think of corrugated pipe I think of this. Am I thinking of the wrong thing here ?
