This experience has been the worst. Stress has been through the roof. The directions with Intex were terrible.
3 corners are level. One is not. About 4 inches different. All legs on pavers. All metal corners float except the one that is too low. Can we do anything to fix that one side? Like exchange that paver with a smaller pressure treated board. This is just so much. We definitely are in over our heads. We are not easily overwhelmed but we are there. We are very grateful for your response. We have no family or friends that can guide us.

Do we need to drain and level just for one side of a rectangular pool? If we level , can someone direct us to a post that is relevant to a 32 x 16? A lot of the how to posts are for circular pools. We HAD to get the biggest one and I regret every second of it. 😢. We don’t know what equipment is needed to level. We have searched thus why we went for the insulation and frame.

on one side I measure two inches down
On the other I measure 4 inches down
Next to that I measure 7 inches down to water (this is the problem area)

On my 32x16 we dug the ground level as I could. Using a string line. Measured up from ground to certain height. That way I could find lowest point. Then put a line level to level all sides from that point. Built wood frame put fine sand in and screeted sand level. Insulation on top of sand and tarp. And 4" thick pavers under each leg. Buried level with the insulation panels
