What IsThe Cheapest Way To Level TheGround For StandUp Pool?
Question:The wife went and got a 16' pool for the season, not realizing that our yard slopes to the south, so none of the water will stay in the pool to install it. I am looking for the easiest and cheapest way to level the ground for the pool. There's plenty of yard, it's just the slope that I need to deal with, There's even some flat spots but not to the degree of planting a16' pool. I was thinking of building something up for it, then I thought about over 3700 gallons of water that was too heavy for something I built careening into the fence, or a child bieng washed away into the woods with the rushing water! So I'm looking to get an answer for my problem so the family can enjoy the summer.
Answers:
build a level frame and fill it with sand then set the pool on it
Best way is dig into the hill "slope" at the top and move the dirt down the hill. Get a Bobcat if necessary, I did it with just a shovel, a lot of work but it worked out well. I bought a yard or two of sand and leveled it out real flat. In the fall I remove the pool and plant grass, it does ok.
But a keg of beer, invite friends over to help move the soil, it worked for a friend of mine. I helped.
