STEP 2 – LEVELING:
Once you have designated the space for installation, and have cleared away the sod in that area, you can begin
to level the ground. The ideal tool for doing this is a transit. If you do not have access to a transit, use a long
board (be sure that the board is perfectly straight) and a carpenters level, as shown in the diagram.
The key to properly leveling the surface for an above ground swimming pool is to start at the lowest point and
dig everything else down to that level. You do not want to build up the lower areas to be level with the higher
areas. Doing this will cause the ground to settle once the pool is full of water. If the ground settles it could
destroy your pool, which could be dangerous and is not covered under the warranty.
You will probably not be able to get the ground completely level until you lay out the frame, but the closer you
get it now the easier the job will be later. We recommend that you do not proceed until the entire site is within an
inch of being perfectly level.
* DO NOT ADD DIRT TO LOW AREAS
Remove soil and grass to this level.
Remove grass only from low areas.
