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
2-by-4
to the top of the stake. Choose the
length of 2-by-4 you need for your
pool from the chart above. Use a nail
long enough to hold the end of the
2-by-4 to the stake while you rotate it
in a circle.
c. Put a carpenter’s level on the 2-by-4
and swing the board in a circle to find
the high and low spots.
d. Remove all the high spots with a
shovel, hoe or rake.
e. 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.
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.
