I've spent multiple weeks reading the forums and working on leveling the ground (<-- I know, the most important part ). In my reading, I ran across someone's post that has me a little concerned. She mentioned something about being close to a wall and that the rule of thumb is to be X amount of feet away from the wall, based on the height of your pool, etc.. I haven't heard of this before and haven't been able to find much more information!
My question to you all: Is there any concern with the future location of my pool? i.e. would the weight of the pool cause the ground underneath to push the wall out into the street??
