First Ever Pool - Above ground bestway 4.2m slice of heaven

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Laceygirl, I'm in Australia too and have exactly the same pool as you had originally. I can see in your pictures that you've placed it on concrete pavers, did that work okay? We've got one end which is sinking and we're thinking of using pavers on that end. I have serious pool envy now with the larger one you are going for next.

Sorry, I just read the forum rules re hijacking members threads - Admins, please delete if needed ( I also run a forum so fully understand how annoying newbies can be ;))
 
Hi Mollyj.... Glad to help... :) I would definitely use pavers underneath it.... We had heaps of rain here last summer, and it made my pool drop over an inch... :-/ Luckily we were near the end of the season and pulled it down.... I've gone with sleepers for this one as this pool will weigh 18 tonnes.... That's heaps of weight.. Yours will weight about 7-8 tonnes.... Prep is everything... I hate it but its a necessary evil.....Keep in touch.....
 
Mollyj, You can keep it here or you can start your own thread if you have any other questions.

This forum is all about helping others in the best way possible. We also LOVE to watch builds/setups with pictures (hint, hint)

We would love to see your set up and help you in any way.

Kim

Heading back to the hardware store to get 3 more sleepers and decorative stones

Thanks Kimkat, I did start antoher thread, then noticed this one with a similar pool. Thanks too Laceygirl, that helps a lot, we drained the pool and today got it leveled at one end - the other end is absolutely fine. Now, the levels are about an 3cm's out from one end to the other but it looks so much better than before where one side was completely bulging. Hub's reckons it's okay - if it all collapses I can blame him lol, he's been so great considering he doesn't swim and will probably never set one toe in the pool.

I so wished I'd found this forum before set up and purchase - although I do love this pool and for this year it will be perfect. Next year I'm already planning a bigger better one - as long as funds permit :) I guess we can all relate to that one. Your set up preparation is looking awesome, can't wait to see it all finished.
