I've started work on leveling our area for an intex 18x9. Unfortunately our yard slopes quite a bit and we're on clay that doesn't drain well.
The pic below is after a heavy thunderstorm so I was thinking I would finish leveling the area then install a french drain along the yellow line routing out beyond the fence which continues sloping down into a ditch.
Then I'll install a retaining wall along the edges with treated lumber and fill, compact, and level with crushed stone.
Is my plan solid? Any advice?
