I have been using this forum search and Google to understand my options, but I wanted to see what you recommend for my pool and my situation.
My pool: I want to get a round Intex Ultra or Intex Ultra XTR.
My yard: Flat, with grass.
My options: Putting it on the grass, using sand, or buying a commercial pad. Are there any commercial pads that are self levelling? If I use sand, do I still have to level the ground? My yard is flat, do I still have to make sure it's perfectly level? My goal is to be able to put the pool up easily without having to dig around in my yard.
Do I need something like a gorilla pad in addition to my ground protection, or no?
I live in Massachusetts so it's probably best that I take the pool down in winter, right? Does anyone leave theirs up? I don't want it to buckle under the weight of the snow.
Edit: After some more research and YouTube I'm sort of considering an Easy Set now. So much to think about.
