Leveling your pool site
GROUND PREPARATION
The enƟre pool area must be completely leveled. Level it using carpenter’s
level and a straight plank or a transit.
Nail one end of a straight 2-by-4 (5cm x 10cm) wood plank to the top of a
stake. From step 1, use a nail long enough to hold the end of the 2-by-4(5cm x 10cm)
wood plank to the stake while you rotate it in a circle.
Put a carpenter’s level on the wood plank and swing the board in a circle to
level the area. (image 3)
DO NOT ADD GROUND FOR LEVELING YOUR POOL SITE. You must dig down
to the lowest point of your pool site. Any added ground won’t give the needed
strength to support pool’s weight.
Take material such as rock dust or Įne mortar that can conform a solid, permanent
base an d deposit this material around the rim of the basin. The material used should be spread
around the perimeter of the pool to a width of 24” (60cm) and a thickness of 2” (5cm).
Note: BoƩom rails will be placed in the center of the perimeter of the pool see the dashed line.
Lay out the boƩom rails and boƩom plates around the circle.
