Create a Foundation
2.1
Establish the pool circumference by driving a stake into the
ground at the center of the site.
Attach one end of a string to the center stake, measure the string
out to equal the pool radius, plus an additional 12 inches for
clearance. Holding the string taut, walk the circle of the planned
outer perimeter of your marking the circle with spray paint, a lawn
edger or white powder.
Remove all sod, weeds and other growth from within the circle.
Dig to the depth the pool will be installed for below-grade
installations. Find the lowest spot within the pool area and level
the surrounding ground to that lowest spot with shovel, rake or
pick. Dig higher areas down to this level.
DO NOT
add dirt to
raise the low areas, as the weight of the filled pool will cause
settling.
NOTE:
The pool floor may be dug deeper, sloping to the center
of the pool for use with an expandable liner.
Remove protruding roots, stones and other sharp objects that
could damage the pool. Tamp down ground with square tamper.
IN-GROUND INSTALLATIONS: It is recommended that the
top
of the
pool
be
2” - 6” above
the
surrounding
area.
2.2
Confirm the site is level and flat using a long straight board or
2x4
and
a
carpenter’s
level
or transit.
Continue
to
remove
high
areas of ground if needed.
