Sand for Pool

I am wanting to know how much sand I need to put under my pool, it is 24 feet round x 42 inches deep.


Hi Laura. A 24’ round pool should have about 4-5 tons of sand under it. Remember a few pool building basics with regards to your sand. Make the bottom ring round and level and then pile the sand in the center of the pool. Build the pool, including top rails, and then spread your sand out.

If you try to build the entire pool on a base of sand you are just asking for trouble. The pool framework must rest on level dirt.
