Unlevel Ground For Pool

by Sandy
(Falling Waters)

We just bought a 27' round pool. Our yard to the eye looks rather flat, however there is a lower spot in the middle, approximately 8 inches lower.

Can we fill in with dirt and rent a tamper or do we have to level the rest of the ground to the lowest point, like the instructions that came with the pool advise?

I want to do this right the first time so I need advice.
Thanks,


Hi Sandy. An above ground pool just needs to sit on firm solid ground. So if you can fill the low area and pack it solid you will be just fine.

As far as the rest of the job goes, make your pool perfectly round and perfectly level. If you do this you will have a nice pool you can enjoy for years.

Be sure to read some of out installation pages for some good how to tips.
