I'm in the process of a DIY install of a 16x32 vinyl liner pool with a wedge bottom that slopes down to 6ft deep. I'm about ready to do the poolcrete bottom but my soil is pretty much a mix is sand and river rock type stones. When I try to shape the dirt part of the walls in the deep end they slide down like a dry sand castle.
I'm thinking I could wet the dirt to help it hold together and shape the form of the walls until I get the poolcrete installed unless there is a better way.
The poolcrete instructions say to remove rocks before laying it Down but my soil is mainly small to medium sized rocks and sand.
Does anyone else have advice on how they've successfully handled a similar situation with rocky sandy soil?
