Leveled ground?

[rubsal70]

Hey guys,
I am putting my pool back up and the ground was semi level from last year. I finished cleaning and raking and leveling. I don't know if I did it right so here some photos and hopefully y'all can let me know. So for the most part it's level like the photo shows with the leveler.

That looks like a 4ft level on that 2 x 4. It's a bit out of level already, and if you were to extend that from one end to the other end of the pool circle, I suspect it will be even more out-of-level. I think it needs a bit more leveling. Nothing worse than getting that pool up and seeing the waterline crooked. You might try attaching more than one 2 x 4 together to make a longer board to level. Something else you can do is place the pavers around the perimeter that will support the pool legs and that might help you get a better level to each paver.

As Texas said you aren't very level on 8ft let alone 16ft. Take it from one who spent a lot of time levelling and then said "Good Enough" just to go back and rethink it and fix it later because I was in a rush to get the pool up. Extra time spent now will save you headache and second guessing later, trust me ;-)

Good idea guys I will do that today and see how much leveling I need. Also what is an easier way to take dirt with out taking to much. I have a hard time doing it with a shovel. Thanks

Oh, been there. But without heavy equipment, typically doing the best you can with a hard garden rake. Once you have it close, perhaps adding some loose soil/sand to help you spread it around for a final level base. hen you can cover that with a tarp or insulation pads. The support post pavers are really important though since they determine the overall level and stability, so you want those pavers very level next to each other and across from each other.

Some music to set the mood as you work on the high spots.
