Thanks again everyone for your input and assistance so far. We’re excited to beat the south Texas heat to day in our new pool ? Another question, however. Is the plug for the pump water-resistant? Is there a way/need to keep it away from water (pool splashing, rain, etc.)?

So we decided to just level the spaces under each of the legs. If the pool survives this season we may take greater measures to dig up the turf and level the entire ground-area next year.. but that may be a big “if”... using paver stones/2x4s under the legs seems to have worked with regard to...

Or are you suggesting to dig the depth of each paver so the surface will be level throughout? That makes a bit more sense, not to mention each leg being unnecessarily raised 1-2”

Thank you for the clarification! I’m just concerned that, due to the proximity of legs to the liner, the pavers under the feet would be a potential hazard to the liner (sharp edges could puncture it)

I think this may be the route we’ll go! I had been pondering something similar to this using bricks or garden border stones as the barrier to keep the gravel contained, however, constructing a simple box would probably be a more effective way. I’m curious though about what you’re suggesting for...

The weight of the pool maybe? fold it over the top tarp, but tuck it under the empty pool prior to filling her up..?

Wow, thank you everyone for your advice! So many good ideas. However, in all honesty, I'm not nearly as handy as I ought to be. I agree that either constructing a deck-like platform or excavating and leveling from there would be the best idea, but I really want to leave as minimal a...

I have a bit of a unique project ahead of me. About a year ago the wife and I had artificial grass, or turf, installed in the backyard. When they cleared yard, prior to laying the turf, they sloped the yard for drainage purposes (away from the house). We are interested in putting an above...
