    Cutting foam base for Intex 15’ round metal frame with pavers under legs

    Yes, we did go around and cut the foam more for some to make sure all the feet were firmly on the pavers, they’re just not centered since the legs right next to pool…

    Cutting foam base for Intex 15’ round metal frame with pavers under legs

    Not sure if you still want pics… took us awhile to drain pool, move and do more leveling… but we set up the pool today! I’m wondering if we should’ve cut the foam more so the legs would be more centered on the pavers, but we were trying to do it so that all of the base of the pool stayed on the...

    Cutting foam base for Intex 15’ round metal frame with pavers under legs

    Oh OK, yes, we’re using XPS foam sheets (pink ones) and we used eight 4’ x8’ sheets to make a 16’ square and then cut a circle.

    Cutting foam base for Intex 15’ round metal frame with pavers under legs

    We spent a long time (several weekends) getting the ground level and thought it looked level based on using an 8’ 2x4 with a level attached, run in a circle from the center. We put the foam (cut into a circle of 14’8” diameter for 15’ frame), then set up the pool on it and then put pavers under...

    Cutting foam base for Intex 15’ round metal frame with pavers under legs

    Thanks! The dry fit is essentially what we did - to make the foam more manageable. Now moving to stage of filling a little bit and adjusting to see if we need to cut more foam. Seems like really no way around cutting it in place. Thanks again!

    Thank you both for the suggestions! We are setting up the frame now to see where we are with things. We don’t have a reciprocating saw, but will look into it! Thanks again :)

    Cutting foam base for Intex 15’ round metal frame with pavers under legs

    Hi all, I’ve been reading lots of posts in the forum and the info has been very helpful- thank you! It was here that I saw the idea to use XPS under our pool, and to put pavers under the legs. We have worked the last several weekends on digging/leveling the ground (which is a mix of clay and...
