We will be installing a small fiberglass pool. 10x20x4.5
It weighs 450 lbs. I will be doing the work myself, with very limited help. I built our last pool, 18x36x6 vinyl liner, but this is a bit different.
I've been told to use #89 clean limestone for the base and backfill, and that it self compacts enough that no additional compacting is necessary. Also, use it for backfill to fill the stairs void.
Others have said to use #57 and a compactor. Working by myself, the idea of self compacting base for this small pool sounds great.
If you have personally used either of these, I would appreciate the insight and comments. I've eliminated all other options, just need to decide between these 2.
