You sure make good use of your space. I can't help thinking though that if the pool let go it would be quite the water ride down that hill.
Newbie: AGP Install on Steep Slope (MN)
- Thread starter MnHotRod
- Start date
Your yard looks great and is about 1000 times better than mine.Its not my business but I still think you are making a big mistake with the Intex pool. You could buy a quality AGP that size for about $1500. Building the deck around the pool is committing to that pool.
Wow, that is amazing! Can I ask or have you msg me who you hired to install the pool? I'm very surprised that the pool companies I have called and talked to are so slow to get back to me to get this process going. I am also in MN and have a slope, although not nearly as severe as yours. Did the same contractor do your decking? I'd love to get it installed this fall so that in the spring we can start it right up and enjoy it. Thanks for any info and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Very nice job. I can't but help to think how even more awsome that pool would look with an infinity edge on it.

If your putting a pool on a slope; hire an engineer first, then hire a landscape company to install the retaining walls, hire the pool company last. I can provide recommendation for the first two. Not sure on the pool company. Someone above doesn't like the idea of an Intex. While their concern may be valid for them, do what's right for you.

Assuming you are digging down to undisturbed ground and not building up like MNhotrod did/had too, then you should be able to get by without.Gustopher said:
Wrapping up the project and taking some final pictures of everything completed. I have included a photo slideshow of the project start to finish for anyone interested. Thanks TFP for making our experience smoother.

Awesome! Could you pass along the number or email to who installed it for you? I'm still looking for someone to do one in my yard and the pool companies haven't been much help thus far. I'm in MN too.
That is really stupendous. Like having your own little amusement park. Excellent photography. Thanks for sharing
Found myself reading the forums as we investigate adding a heater to our Intex pool. Thought maybe we should update our thread with some recent pics.

Looks great, you have a gift for creating an inviting landscape. Enjoy! I am sure the kids do.
Hey, great set up. Did you do the work yourself?
If so, what type of retaining wall block did you use? Does it use pins? Did you put gravel behind the bricks with any type of drainage?
Looking to do something similar like this for my pool, but mine is dug into slooe and not really built up.
Also, what did you use under the pool: sand, gravel, just dirt? Dud you tamp the dirt down?
Thanks!
