My husband and I are having a debate about the ground. I say use sand and he wants to till the ground up and use the dirt? Won't the dirt be too unstable?

Hi Amber. Actually, it's just the opposite, it's the sand that would be to unstable. All leveling should be done with dirt, and then packed solid. The sand is used only inside the pool framework for the purpose of cushioning the liner.

We level and pack the dirt and then set the braces into the ground and pack again. Next the end rails are connected and the some more leveling is done. Next the sand is brought into the pool area and piled in the center. The wall goes up next and the pool framework assembled. When all this is done, the sand gets spread out and smoothed out. Then it's liner time.
