Ok, wife bought another AGP. 26' Intex just like the one we had a number of years ago. The old one has been gone for 2 years. The new one will go in the same location. Even though I meticulously levelled and even rented a compacter and went over the area, our yard is rather wet, and soft.
Even though I had 1'x1' pavestones under the supports, with gravel under the pavers, a number of them sank on the first install, and I had to jack it up, and put stuff under there to level 3-4 of the supports a few times during the life of the install.
So, what if, before putting the pool up, I built forms and poured say a 1'-2' wide 'donut' of concrete about 4" thick around the perimeter of the pool for the supports to sit on?
It would NOT go under the liner.
I found a previous post about the same topic, but it was short lived.
Yes, this would be a good bit of work, but so is fighting the Dang thing when supports sink. I'm dead serious considering this.
Thoughts?
