I have a bit of a unique project ahead of me. About a year ago the wife and I had artificial grass, or turf, installed in the backyard. When they cleared yard, prior to laying the turf, they sloped the yard for drainage purposes (away from the house). We are interested in putting an above ground pool on top of the turf, but have that slope to deal with. I'm trying to figure out what material to use (on top of the turf) to level it for the pool. Since it is on artificial grass, I want to avoid using sand, crushed granite etc. The wife suggested using a dozen or so folded and meticulously placed tarps, but I'm curious if there's a different way.
The slope in the desired area is about 5-6 inches across the diameter of the pool.
Should I create a level surface for the entire pool, or can I just level out the areas needed for the feet of each leg, The liner is somewhat flexible, but I want to avoid structural damage if there will be too much pressure on the frame if I only level surfaces for the feet.
