    I just had a concrete put in as well for my Intex....cant imagine the mess it would create on the grass/dirt.....I rolled out a layer of indoor/outsoor carput underneath my pool for padding..I am now looking for a way to get around using the rickety ladder with some stairs and a small platform...
