Thanks Lorri, sage advice! Good info Sam! I am going back to the drawing board after checking your build thread. Afterwords you can be sure get some questions back.

I found a drawing to answer my second question and will post it up for those who may have the same question as I regarding actual dimensions including supports. The more I look at other pool builds it seems a compact gravel base looks pretty sound?

My plan for leveling the ground is to buy 4x6x10’s and make a 20x30 frame and fill it with 1/4- gravel. I’ll have the frame level and square and compact the gravel, the ground in the backyard is rock hard so I feel this would be solid enough for the pool weight and a clean look after pool is up...

After having an 18’ easyset pool the last 4 years we have decided to go bigger. We had planned to go with the Intex 16’x32’. Now that I read about all the recent rust issues I am hesitant and looking at other brands, but for $1200 might still be worth a shot? While brand is still up in the air...

This is concerning to me as well. We have been rocking an easy set 18’ the last 4 years. Best $300 we ever spent! We have plans to pour a pad in our back yard and instal the 18’x32’ Intex ultra but if they are all rusting out I’m not so sure? Is this just a random problem or all newer pools...
