Installation on 2 foot raised paver patio

[Willabean]

Hi guys. I purchased a 15' intex round pool with the plan of having it installed on our 2 foot raised paver patio. The pool will come to about 1 foot from the corner edge of the 2' patio wall. I didn't realize this might be an issue until I did a little more research.

First: Do you think the paver patio wall will hold the weight of the pool?
Second: how can I install the pool safely onto the pavers?

My yard is on a hill and the paver patio is really the only place to put it. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Is the paver patio level? Most will have a slight slope for water run off. Check that first and we will go from there.

Hi Kim,
sorry for the delay, I was waiting for the patio to be completed. My landscaper reported that he believes the patio will hold the weight, but I am devistated to report there is a slope of about 2 inches within the 15’ space.
Also, I purchased a gorilla pad.
Is there a good way to make this level? My husband and I were thinking of putting insulation foam underneath at the low spot using 1” foam and then 2” foam, however there will still be a 1” transition.

Thanks again!

BOO and darn!!! how good are you with a razor knife? Could you "shave" the foam board? I will keep thinking on this one.
