2. Remove the Sod
a. Remove all sod and plants from the
circle.
b. Remove any sticks, stones and roots
from the circle.
3. Make the Area Flat and Level
a. Replace the centre peg with a flat-
topped stake, at least 1” (25 mm)
square and 6” (15 cm) long. Drive it
down flush with the ground surface.
b. Nail one end of a
straight
5cm x
10cm wood plank to the top of the
stake. Choose the length of 5cm x
10cm wood plank you need for your
pool from the chart above. Use a nail
long enough to hold the end of the
5cm x 10cm wood plank to the stake
while you rotate it in a circle.
c. Put a carpenter’s level on the wood
plank and swing the board in a circle
to find the high and low spots.
Remember:
Your pool must be
perfectly level. Take
the time you need to be
sure your foundation is
perfectly level.
Hint:
Use a surveyor’s transit
instead of a carpenter’s
level, if one is available.
