Small metal frame pool

[Rabbitangel]

New here; last summer was not that hot where i live, so i was able to snag a summer waves 13 foot, 33 inch deep metal frame above ground pool. I neglected to consider what it would take to set up; i have an upper body injury. It is only 97 degrees today, next week triple digits. I have to hire someone, even though i can't afford it...my questions are:
Can anyone tell me approximately how long it should take? 15 ft, 33 inches deep.

2) are pavers under the feet necessary for such a small pool?
Thank u in advance.

Welcome to TFP.

Your pool has about 4,000 gallons and weighs around 32,000 pounds. The supports should be placed on pavers or wood so they don’t sink into the ground.

Smaller seasonal pools can see just as much enjoyment as their larger counterparts. In this guide we'll show you how to maintain your temporary pool.

Hello! I totally feel your pain, and understand how frustrating it is to have to get someone to help when you want to do yourself!

I would follow the advice from Allen, above. Trust me, doing it correctly from the get-go will save you lots of irritation at the end! If you have someone installing, it shouldn’t take more than a few hours, unless your yard needs lots of leveling. Also, don’t build up low areas! Dig out high areas instead.
