It's actually been pretty easy so far, taking it slow and steady, the pool doesn't really need to be up for another 6 weeks. The hardest part that makes everything hurt is yet to come which is skimming the last inch or two to make the 615 sq ft level with the lowest point. And that kick sod cutter for the grass on the left side of the photos. I hoped I would never see that thing again after last year but I guess that isn't gonna happen.
I used the top rail as a guide for.my pavers, adjust by about 3" to allow for the movement when filling. Our ground is much firmer than that in the video, have the pool in the way would have made it difficult to manuver. (It was easy to the railing back and forth.) I only had one paver close to the edge. I think it was the first one I did. The video was nicely done, but most of us don't have more than 2 people putting up the pool, that guy had a whole crew, lol.For anyone reading this and trying to figure out how to best put one of these up there is one thing I would try different.
I would try putting the pavers in after the pool is constructed, like how they did in the video I linked in post #14. The reason I say this is that it was really hard to get the pool centered on pavers that were already in place. Currently some of the legs are close to the middle of the paver but there are many that are slightly sliding off a side or back of the paver. I did keep them level as the pool was filling but they do push out a few inches when full. I put half pavers next to the inplace ones where it looks like the legs are slightly sliding off so it should be fine. In the fall when the pool is half drained I plan on re-centering the pavers with the legs.
