Installing Esther Williams Pool

I am getting ready to put up an old Esther Williams pool, do I need blocks under the uprights or can I just tamp the sand well?


Hi. I would recommend using blocks under the footplates. This would give your pool the best possible support. You will also be better off keeping the sand away from the edge of the pool until after the wall is installed. Sand in and around the bottom rails will cause headaches you probably don’t want.
