Hello,
I finally received my 8' easy set "soaker" pool a couple of weeks ago and was all ready to set it up for my pregnant wife and myself to soak in but after clearing off an area on our 10' x10' cement patio I realized it slopes more than I thought it would. It appears to drop off about 3" over an 8' area. The baby is coming any day now and I wanted this to have for my wife to relax in WHILE pregnant but this is turning into a bigger project than anticipated. What would be the cheapest/easiest way to rectify this? I thought about building a small platform out of a couple sheets of plywood but not sure if it will have too much weight on it. Also thought about bringing in sand or gravel, not sure if I love that idea either. I also have a couple 4x8 sheets of styrofoam to put under it for some cushion. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
