I do plan on building a frame around the pool. You're right about thousands of people who use sand as a base and not having any issue but one article I read did not recommend sand on a paved surface. They claim it would dry eventually and start to shift. I just want to make sure it'll be okay...

That's what I was afraid of. I know it can be done but I just want to use something else other than sand because I worry about the sand drying over time and causing problems.

So here is the latest on my pool. I completely screwed up. I ended up buying a rectangular pool and set it up on what I thought was a levelish area. I thought the uneven cement was only an inch off but I blew it. I used a string with a level to see how off I was and I did it wrong. So once I...

I checked how level the other side of my yard is yesterday. If I end up getting the rectangular pool, the pool will only be half an inch off. I still have the interlocking foam mats that are a little under half an inch thick. I can either ignore the half in inch difference or place the legs that...

So I did what you suggested and it's about 4 inches off. Way too off for my liking. I'm thinking about exchanging the pool for a rectangular pool instead. I can install the pool in a more level location in my backyard and because it's rectangular, it won't take so much of the middle of my...

How would one measure how many inches the pool is off? If I had to guess though. It seems like 1/2 of the pool is even. Then 1/4 is about 2 inches off and the other 1/4 is about 3 or 4 inches off. It's all messed up. I didn't realize that the cement slopped down to a single corner.

I need some advice. I assembled my 16' x 48" Coleman pool yesterday. Everything looked fine until we walked around the pool and notice a big drop off from one end of the pool. I was very heartbroken because I was set on adding water and getting my sand filter set up but I know this is a safety...

I got the okay from the wife to buy the interlocking foam pads instead of the foam boards. They are pricey though. I went to home depot and bought 16 packs for 17.99 each. Each pack comes with 4 2'x2' foam mats. I think you can find a better deal on amazon though.

I read in other threads that the pool support legs can rest on the foam boards. Is this how have yours done? If not, what would you recommend the support legs to rest on?

How thick are your foam boards?

Nice. What thickness would you recommend? 1/2 inch? 3/4 inch? 1 inch?

That looks clean. The more I think about it, I'm probably going with the foam boards over the foam mats. It'll be less expensive and I'm sure I can figure out a way to store the foam boards during the offseason. I do have a question though. Do you also tape the boards together on the bottom as...

I ordered a 16' x 48" Coleman Pool at Walmart. I'm really excited but I'm concerned about installing the pool over cement. Cements not really the most comfortable when you're walking around barefoot. I get that the pool comes with a tarp and the pool liner help a bit but I'm sure it's not much...
