My wife & I decided on 18ft 52in deep metal frame pool
[h=1]Cornelius Pools Phoenix[/h]we live in a slightly rural area with ROCKY slooping land----the area we are installing the pool I had to take out about 2ft of soil on the upper slope to start getting it level (mind u I'm doing all this with my farm tractor,plow and scraper blade) its been a BEAR but right at the end I hope !! My first question is using a transit Im within 1/2in of level all the way around except in two spots, lets call them 3 oclock and 9 oclock facing the front or lower part of the evac site.....these 2 spots are about a inch lower, while I know u should never ADD to level but with the amount of HARD CLAY & ROCKS I have encountered would it be safe to "fill" these spots ???? with what ???? I REALLY dont want to have to start digging again !!! I have unearthed BOULDERS in this dig and would rather not have to dig up more !! I will be using foam cove and a sand bottom if that makes a difference.
2nd question, to use patio blocks under frame connectors or not ??????? Instructions with the pool didn't show them but I have read many different opinions !
I just discovered this website and I'm at a standstill for about a week with the rain we have coming thru......
Looking forward to some good input
on a side note about 30 years ago I put up a 24 ft Sears pool at a home I owned ......it was 3inches out of level and its still standing to this day-----I was younger, dumber and drank more beer back then
