1
B. CONT. PREPARE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR POOL
3. Make the area flat and level
a. Remove all the high spots with a shovel, hoe or
rake. To make sure your pool is stable, compact the
ground well before adding the sand. Be prepared to
hire earth moving equipment if you need to level
a large area. Remember, your pool must be level
across the diameter of the pool.

b. Small dips and hollows may be filled in, but the soil
must be hard-packed with a tamping tool or a soil
compactor machine.
c. Take material such as rock dust or fine mortar that
can conform a solid, permanent base and deposit
this material around the rim of the basin.
(Image 9)
d. The material used should be spread around the
perimeter of the pool to a width of 24” (60cm) and
a thickness of 2” (5cm).

e. Recheck the outer perimeter of the oval shape,
where the pool wall will be placed. Compact the
ground and make sure there are no high or low
spots. The bottom edge of the pool wall must rest
flat on the ground and have no gaps under it.

Helpful Hint:
Use the optical level to ensure that the ground is
perfectly flat and level.
Important Note:
Your pool must be perfectly level. Take the time you
need to be sure your foundation is perfectly level.
