Intex 16 x 32 pool preperation

[Jbrian420]

Alright I'm looking for a little help and advice. My family has decided on getting an intex 16x32 above ground pool this summer. I would like to start now on getting site ready. I am having trouble finding a manual on the pool or actual dimensions from Intex. What I am wanting to do is level the ground and pour small concrete footer around entire pool for the leg supports to sit on.

The tools I have at my disposal

Kuboto front loader
Tiller attachment for kuboto
Water level
Concrete mixer

I plan on using large tiller to break up the ground and make for easier leveling with front loader. I live in Florida and it's all sand anyhow but since I have the tools figured it would make it easier. Possibly thinking of setting the high side of my sloped ground 4in or so.

Any advice or suggestions?

Planning on either of these :

Intex 32ft X 16ft X 52in Ultra Frame Rectangular Pool Set with Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System, Ladder, Ground Cloth, Pool Cover, Maintenance Kit & Volleyball https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073FMTVXD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6hNGCbNVSJYNV

Or newer model amazon suggests for same price more or less

Intex 32ft X 16ft X 52in Ultra XTR Rectangular Pool Set with Sand Filter Pump & Saltwater System, Ladder, Ground Cloth, Pool Cover, Maintenance Kit & Volleyball https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F39F6Z5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_IiNGCbFJSPGGR

Hello @Jbrian420 and welcome!
Great tools at your disposal!
The biggest thing will be digging out the "high side", you don't want the weight of the pool on improperly "unsupported" built up ground.

As for the footprint, I would send an email to Intex support and ask them what the actual ground measurements are.

I couldn't find an email address for Intex Support. All I could find is a main customer service number which I would imagine is futile. tried it anyway and of course it was outside their business hours. Will try again...

Just figured it would be easier for someone who has put one of these up to measure out how far each side support extends from the bottom of their pool and measure the dimensions of the base of their pool. I reposted my question in the above ground pool subsection. Thanks for you response however. maybe it will get more views their from the above ground folks.

Since you have power tools make your pad 4ft larger over all, this will give you 2ft of non grass on each side.
