Are you talking about the leaf net covers made for pools or something else? I tried to figure out how to make one but I didn’t get far. I looked at fishing cast nets and seine nets but realized I wouldn’t save money and I’d have to do some rigging. I want something to catch the catkins, too.

I’m in the same boat with my pool under a massive oak. We haven’t had a bad storm since we put it up, but I know what happens in a tropical storm. Fall leaves and the pollen drop will also be a nightmare. I’ve been trying to decide between the leaf net or solar cover since the solar cover would...

@bloodfromastone Yea, I wondered about the surface area not being big enough. There won't be kids splashing about, just 2-3 adults. It's too late now for the foundation prep but if I ever do this again, I will do it differently. I think I bit off more than I could chew trying to do most of it...

Thanks for your advice. I tend to be an optimist but that probably isn't good in this situation. My hubby says he can put in the pavers, so we will as soon as he has time.

I added a total of 4 more cups of chlorine and I squeezed the sock a few times. FC 2/4 PH 7.5 CYA 0

ugh :cry: Could we drain the pool and add pavers in a month or so when my husband would have time to help?

Thanks for sharing that. Yours looks great! I decided to not do anything under the vertical supports because I really didn't have it in me to do it. I finished setting up and filling the pool. After reading that anything over 3" difference, in the levelness, would need to be taken down, I...

Thanks for all your input and encouragement everyone! Finished setup yesterday and filled the pool. I ended up about 2" off on my leveling. I put 4 cups of 10% chlorine and 3 cups of cya in a sock (hanging from ladder) at 11:00 a.m. The pump has been running since 11:00 a.m. I don't have a...

I'm setting the pool up now even though it's starting to sprinkle. After it's up and I start filling it, I'll go around to add the pavers. I won't put too much water in it before I finish all the pavers. Does this sound ok?

Thanks for answering. :/ If my ground is level, then I can use the ground as my leveling guide? I already have padding and a doubled tarp on the site.

I think trying to put in and level 16 of those bricks will do me in. I saw a video linked in another thread where the pavers were placed on top of the ground and tarp. The pool weight will push them down, no? i suppose the pool liner won't lay properly if it's done that way. Any other concerns...

Don't they need to be level with the ground? It seems like the legs would move as the pool is filled. How do you know exactly where to place them?

Thanks for the encouragement! The foundation is done and plan on setting up the pool tomorrow.

I have a lot of these on hand. Will these work for support under the legs?

I finished leveling before it started to rain. After reading some more posts, I decided to keep the sand and spread it on the dirt before I lay down a tarp. As I scraped away dirt, more small rocks were uncovered. I’ll remove them but hope the sand will help if more come up from the weight of...

I removed the visqueen and am attempting to level again. Rain is expected this afternoon. The play sand is moist so it doesn't spread out easily. The pool is 16' diameter and I have 5 yards of sand plus the 2.5 yards stuck to the visqueen. I'm considering returning the 10 bags of sand and...

Thanks....I leveled to the best of my ability. I used an 8' board with a level attached. Scraping the dirt down to level it. The ground was lower in the center. My husband is working 7 days a week in the Florida heat so hasn't had time to help. Since it's raining now, I can see puddles in...

I went and purchased more sand before I read your reply. :/ I did remove all the grass and weeds. The pool site is near a very large oak tree that shoots out baby roots. I put the visqueen down to prevent anything growing up through the liner. The sand is to protect the liner? I've been reading...

My ground is sandy. I put visqueen over leveled area and then 5 bags of moist play sand on top. Clearly isn’t enough sand. Should I just buy more sand? Or just scrap this plan and lay down 2 tarps? Ugh
