Once the ground is prepared, begin installing 2”x8”x16”
patio blocks. (fig.C) The patio blocks should be installed
at the perimeter line of the pool (1/2 the pool size from
the center stake) and at intervals corresponding to the
number of panels associated with the size of the pool.
Please see chart for appropriate spacing.
Sink each patio block into the prepared ground making
sure that each block is level in all directions (side to side
as well as front to back). Repeat this step around the
perimeter of the pool area making the tops of all blocks
level with the ground. Do not install the blocks on loose
sifted soil or sand. All patio blocks must be flush with
the ground, solid and level with each other in all
directions. Once all of the patio blocks are installed,
place an anchor plate on each patio block. (fig.D)
The anchor plates will be used to provide
a level platform for wall installation.

Once you have chosen an appropriate location
for your pool based on the criteria specified
above, determine the pool circumference by
putting a stake in the ground at the center of the
location desired and with a line equal in length
to the radius of the pool (1/2 the pool size) plus
12”, mark off the circumference with a sharp
object, lawn edger, spray paint, etc. (fig.A)
After all of the sod has been removed,
you must make the pool area absolutely
level as measured by a transit or level.
Find the lowest spot within the pool area and
level the ground to that lowest spot. (fig.B)
Do not add dirt to the low areas. It is the high
areas that must be dug away. The perimeter
of the pool must be a solid foundation to
prevent the pool from settling into dirt that is
loosened by rain and water splashing over the
side.
Once again, clean the area of all sharp objects,
including roots and rocks that could later effect
your swimming pool.
