leveling ultra frame pool on patio

[Deltabelg]

Hi

My name is Gwen (34 - male) from Belgium (europe)

I have a question regarding leveling my patio to install my ultra frame intex pool. (2mx4m)Intex 13ft 1" X 6ft 6" X 39"

I'm currently in a rental house with a big patio.Last year i had an easy set 366cm.This began to roll over at the end of summer.

what can i do to level my patio (not permanently)?




thank you very much for any advice

Welcome to the forum. Gravel about 1/4" in diameter works in most situations. How far out of level are you?

 

[Deltabelg]

2 inches over 13 feet

6cm drop over 4 meters

i'm thinking maybe a kind of wooden platform to make up for the difference in heigth?

You could probably, safely use sand on that side.

I heard of one user that used paper to level his patio for an EasySet (bag) pool. I believe he used old newsprint on top of tarp. I don't know how well it will work for a pool of that size as it has legs.

A wood deck would need to be engineered/designed for the weight of the pool (6836 kg or 15,000 pounds, plus swimmers) and it would need to not sag, or rot.

I think a simple sandbox would work...2x4 lumber (or the equivalent size in Belgium) would be high enough. Just make a rectangle a little bit larger than the pool, then level the sand or gravel inside that box.

I would use a few sheets of plywood and some sand

In regards to leveling the deck like you asked, just shim under the deck posts as required with blocks of wood. Lift the deck up with a small hydraulic jack where required, and place shim either under the post, or between the deck and the post. You will have to use thinner shims closer to the end of the deck from where the lowest end is as you go along to the higher end. Actually fairly simple to do. Just place level on deck, lift until level and you can see the shim thickness you require for all the posts required.

2000 pounds of sand and i need a little more

The Wooden box is level with a sort of garden cloth that can let water through ) inside filled with sand so it's easy to level.

This weekend of next week i will install pool
