Unlevel Pool

Is there a way to fix an un-level above-ground 27' round pool?


Hi Andrew. There are many ways an above ground pool can be re-leveled. The course of action I would take would be determined by just how bad off the pool is. If the installation was done poorly in many other respects, not just the leveling, I would want to take the pool down and start over from scratch. I would level and pack the ground, haul in new sand, and reassemble the pool.

Other cases, where the pool itself is fine, but might have an area that has settled slightly, I would level the pool without taking it down. To do this the pool needs to be emptied down to about an inch or so. It is important to leave a little water in the bottom to hold the liner in place and keep it from shrinking. The liner can be pulled back and the wall raised or lowered in the areas that are out of level.

A more detailed explanation of this type of pool leveling can be found on this page.
