Ways to level a sand pit for a 18' wide blow up pool?
Question:
Answers:
Use a piece of rebar or a stake and drive it in the ground for your center point. Put a mark on the stake or rebar about 1 or 2 inches above the ground at whichever point that your pool calls for. The mark will be your guide point. Take your sand and spread it, then get a 10 ft. 2X4 and place one end at the center and the other to the outside of your circle and level with the 2X4. Once it looks level, take a level and place on the 2X4 and circle your center point to find any low or high spots.
Use a mason line - A string tied across both ends of the area you wish to level with a line level attached to the string.
The bubble in the level shows you that the string is level, then the shovel or stick you have at the end will drag a consistently level line across the sand.
just dump it in and rent some kids I'm sure that will do the trick
Ditto on the mason line.
Fine the approximate highest point within the sandpit and place the edge of a 2x4 on it. Then use a level to run a masons line across the pit crossing that point.
This is a two man job, one uses the level while the other adjusts a string end. Then run another line perpendicular to that one so you can always get under a line pair with a long 2x4.
Then you add sand till the 2x4 uniformly just meets the string.
Or if you want to remove sand, string the line at the approximate lowest point and remove sand from the rest of the pit. Its way easier to add sand than to remove it for leveling.
Ever do concrete work?? Build yourself a form, add sand, screed, level!!!
