I think your math might be a little off. I'd bet 95% of the water weight is on the ground, not the legs, that would put 500# per assembly, not 10,000#. Also tractor tires with the tread puts the weight on about an inch wide spot across the tire, it's not really spread out.

I was wondering the same thing. Look at the top most paver in the picture, it looks like it isn't completely flat on the ground which could really lead to breaking.

Thanks! Can't wait to get in, probably won't be till the first of June before it's warm enough. I have a feeling this pool will be a never ending project, already on my wish list is a retaining wall on the dug in side, pea gravel or something around the pool, thru wall skimmer, upgraded...

Price increase to $824.

I checked the legs with a level as the pool was filling to keep them straight. Once it's half full you really can't move them much anymore. It is important to put the pavers out a few inches from being centered because the legs will move out a little. I rigged up a hose to the filter so I...

I laid the tarp down and put the pool up! I slid the tarp behind the legs so I could see the pavers and got the pool centered, then put the tarp back under the legs. Here's a picture for reference, this pool really is huge!

Brought in the sand, ended up being about 2" deep. I used the 2x4 with a level method to really get the sand leveled out. I checked it with the water level and it actually got the sand very close. On to tamping and leveling again and tamping again. Also I placed the pavers. I put...

I have the 26' and am going to try the filter that came with it. Undersized, probably. would the big intex sand filter work better, yes. I'm just gonna figure more run time and I think it will be fine. One upgrade to it though is a Unicel filter, the Intex ones will go straight to the garbage

Dirt removal is done! Low side was only 1 - 2 inches, just enough to remove the sod. High side was a different story, the highest point is 19"! Many thanks to TFP for the water level idea. Mine is a little more simple, one end is stationary and tied to the fence. I set a low...

I think it would be fine without a patch but if you really want a bigger patch try the local pool store, they gave me a 1' square sample for free, might do same for you.

If it's dry spray it down with water that'll soften it up.

CYA in a sock in front of a return, haven't had to add anything else in granular form yet.

I'd look into getting a Unicel filter to put in that pump and toss the Intex one, makes a world of difference. One filter will last you all season.

I don't know, those easy set pools are pretty tough, I had mine for 7 years and only upgraded because I wanted a bigger pool. I bet it would of went 10 years. I think plywood, foam, pad then tarp might be overkill. I think plywood foam or pad foam would work, throw the tarp in there just cause...

Found the water level thread, I love those things... I need advice on leveling my ground.

You could make yourself a water level instead of using a transit, cost you a few dollars, there's a post here somewhere explaining it. 14' round wouldn't be too hard to dig and level by hand, I'm just finishing up a 26' round by hand that was 2' out of level

Well the snow has pretty much melted over the last few days, everything is a pretty soggy mess though. We dug the stump out by hand, it took a while. It wasn't as bad as it looks though, the roots only went down a few feet and just spread out horizontally. Fortunately it was in a location...

Stump removed. All the sod removed. This pool is huge. Mother nature had something to say about my progress, 10" worth.

It's actually been pretty easy so far, taking it slow and steady, the pool doesn't really need to be up for another 6 weeks. The hardest part that makes everything hurt is yet to come which is skimming the last inch or two to make the 615 sq ft level with the lowest point. And that kick sod...

Marked out the area for the new 26' Ultra Frame, you can see the pink spray paint in the grass. The area already dug out was where the old 18' Easy Set was. Getting started on the digging. After another day of digging.

They were out of stock for a little while but are back again. Another price increase to $799.

I found some dimensions, 44" x24" x46" and a weight of 350#. A little too big for the Grand Cherokee I'm afraid.

Available again at Walmart.com, price increased to $743. Anyone know what the dimensions of the box are?

Walmart had Intex 26 x 52 ultra frames for sale online in mid February and they lasted for about a week and are now out of stock, they must be popular. I'm guessing this trend will continue when they get another shipment. For those looking for one check walmart.com daily. Price in Feb was...

Anyone find it interesting (concerning) that Intex doesn't even have the big pools as options on their website? The biggest they show is 18x52 in an ultra frame.

Thanks all! I think I will just have to be patient, gonna be hard to do. I'll check Sam's and keep watching online for the intex. I'm shying away from the Coleman pool, just not enough reviews out there and though it looks the same, it is made by a different company. I've too have had very...

I'm looking for an Intex Ultra Frame 26'x52" pool and have a few questions. 1. When does Walmart typically get their supply of pools for online ordering? 2. How much have you paid for the Intex 26'x52" at Walmart? 3. I see they currently have a Coleman 26'x52" for sale online for $999. Does...
