I didn’t understand the water level until I actually made one. Then it was a big ‘ahh ha!’ moment for me. The water level made leveling the pavers so much easier. I also used a long level (think it’s called a Mason’s level) and a small level. The small level was 3 bucks at Harbor Freight and...

My (almost) finished pool! I think I want to build a little platform deck and change out the wobbling ladder that came with it.

I am new to all this and just finished my complete set-up yesterday but since no one else has answered I’ll pass on the advice that was given to me... Make yourself a cheap water level. Getting those pavers level is a pain and the water level saved me many tears. Look it up on YouTube, there...

My pool is about 1/4 filled and so far everything is coming out level!!!!!! As soon as the water got a little bit of depth I realized one of my poles was going to end up behind a paver so I quickly sunk another. I just counted squares and I’m equal all the way around. I’m so glad I took the...

Next question! Lol. I think I am finally at an acceptable level. Can someone please chime in on the rest of my plan and let me know if I’m making any horrible blunders? 1-gently slope the 4 inch ledge on high side of pool. (My original measurements for my circle, using a string level was a...

I leveled, well thought I leveled, then sunk my pavers. I dug with a hand shovel and it took days and days but the actual paver leveling was a snap with the water level. After doing that and getting a good rain I found out my circle wasn’t near as level as I thought. So now I’m in the process...

Thank you! I may be overthinking the paver part. My site had a 1.5 inch slope so I did not have to go down very far. I got some tubing today to try the water level.

I am not confident in my ability to dig the holes correctly for my support pavers. Is it okay to use paver base under my pavers if I accidentally dig too deep? This my tenth or so year of having an Intex type pool and I’ve never done any ground prep before or had my leg supports sink. This...
