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