Hi there! What a wealth of knowledge you guys are!
We are countersinking our 9 x18 intex pool by 18 inches - hand dug - due to backyard access restrictions. We spent the last 3 days leveling our hole. Then put up a retaining wall around said hole, and are now ready to place concrete pavers under the leg locations. I understand the 12x 12 1.5" pavers that we bought will likely not work. So now we are running out to get the 16x8x4" thick concrete blocks.
Biggest question we have is: how to we prep the base for the concrete blocks? Carefully dig out with a trowel and then is any crushed rock/pack material necessary? Or will 4" thick be ok directly on undisturbed ground (level with each other).
We are in NJ and plan to keep the pool up year round following the instructions, tips and tricks learned here.
