base

Hello, I’m working on the base for an Intex 12’x24’ that I want to put onto my concrete garage driveway. It’s not level but drops around 3” over the length of 24’ so I was going to build a frame, get 3 tons of pea gravel, and level that. Now I’m just reading up on the concrete pavers you are...

Hello everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with a newbie issue. I purchased my home about 2 years ago and decided this year to put in a new liner. The old liner had a leak, likely on the bottom of the shallow end, and a lot of wrinkles. The pool was new in 2006 but I cannot find anyone at...

Leveling completion is finally in sight! I have my 4” blocks sunk and leveled within +-1/8“. I need to level a bit where the bottom rail will be, but that should be easy with all the dirt I now have to add and tamp down. My question is, since I had a lot of rocks/pebbles in my soil it was...

Almost done leveling (thank God!) I had to go down a few inches on one side and about 10” on the other. On theside I went down further, the soil is different than the shallow side. It’s a more sandy fill dirt rather than a topsoil type of dirt. I am sinking 4 inch concrete blocks under the...

I have a 15' x 30' above ground pool. The liner was removed several years ago and it went from being an above ground pool to an above ground planter. It filled with grass, weeds and tree saplings. I'm in the process of cleaning it out in preparation for a new liner. I have pulled all the...

Hi, I’ve been digging down to get a level area to set a 24 foot round above ground pool. All the sod is removed and I’m in the soil that’s underneath the topsoil. My question is, what size rocks are acceptable to be underneath the2-3” layer of sand? I have a lot of 1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter...

I have a question from a DIY standpoint. My 22’ intex died from corrosion in the legs. Grandma decided to buy the kids a new 24’ steel sided 8” rail AGP. My ground is already prepped from earth standpoint from the previous pool, I just had to fix up the extra 2ft. Here’s the question, what...
