Preparing the ground 

A.  POOL SIZE / SPACE REQUIRED. 

It  is  recommended  to  allow  an  additional  18”  of  space  around  the  perimeter  of  your  portable  pool.  For  
example:  a  14’  x  22’  rectangle  pool  should  have  an  area  of  17’  x  25’.  The  larger  dimension  (17’  x  25’)  is  
referred  to  as  the  “foot  print”.

 

B.  HOW DO I FIND LEVEL? 

It is important that your pool be placed on level ground. Though your pool can tolerate being slightly out 
of level, it is best for proper filtration, as well as visual concern, to have your pool as level as possible. 
Here is a simple way to how to find level ground: 

You will need: 

x

Two 

small wooden stakes

 

x

Length of string, two feet longer than the longest dimension of the pool

 

x

One 

“Line  level”  (can  be  purchased  from  any  hardware  store  for  about  $2.00)

 

1. 

Simply set one stake into the ground at one end of where the pool will be, and the other stake at the 
other end.

 

2. 

Tie the string stretched between both stakes, making sure it is stretched tight.

 

3. 

Now set the line level in approximately the center of the string.

 

4. 

Tap either stake further into the ground to level the string at both ends.

 

5. 

Now  measure  the  distance  from  the  ground  to  the  string  at  both  ends.  If  one  measurement  is  5”  at  
one  stake,  and  7”  at  the  other  stake,  then  you’re  only  2”  off  level.

 

C.  SURFACE PREPARATION: 

If there is  grass in this area,  we recommend removing grass and  any foliage prior to  assembly of the 
pool. In addition to removing grass, it is recommended to add 2 to 3 inches of washed plaster sand or 
Happy Bottom ® pad for additional protection of the pool liner prior to assembly. (Happy Bottom ® can 
be purchased from your local dealer) 

D.  Base support: 

We  always  recommend  supporting  the  vertical  uprights  with  concrete  or  pressure  treated  wood  base. 
Failure to use support base may result in structural failure which is not covered by the warranty.
