After an initial meltdown with getting my pool up, now I have taken it apart and down. I loved having it for the summer, it was really not that difficult to care for. I'd also like to finish around it with landscape border and cedar mulch, so I can winterize and leave up nest year. The ground needs some leveling, which is in process. I did not use pavers under the legs, that may have been part of the issue with water level being off as there was some leg sinking into softer dirt. Questions for next year:
1. Can I use solid bricks for pavers under the legs?
2. Dig a hole and put the top of the brick/paver even and level with the dirt?
3. How wide should the border around the pool be? Is 1 foot enough?
4. How do I keep the cedar from washing out under the pool? Put plastic between liner and mulch, and then another layer of plastic underneath?
5. What about drainage in the border, poke holes in plastic?
6. THe ladder that came with it is lame, I am building steps/deck for the outside, what about inside steps? Some steps look like they take up alot of room in the pool.
7. Who lets their dogs in the pool, and how does that work out if you do?
That's it for now. thanks for reading and helping a newbie out

if the area is prone to washing I wouldn’t use the brick sized ones.
