? Vibrating plate

[JohnT]

What are you building?

Sorry,

15 x 24 AG. I've removed the sawd and level the ground. I'm building that in Montreal, Canada.

Did you build up any of the soil, or did you just dig down to level? If you just dug down to the lowest spot, you should be fine as is. If you added soil to a low spot, you may have issues depending on your soil and where it is on the pool.

No build up just removal. Is it best to do it anyway?

[JohnT]

I've never seen anybody compact undisturbed soil or sand for an AG pool. Local soil conditions might make a difference, but it's not done around here.

[svey72139]

What should I use then? Just a sawd roller? Or just smooth with hand trowel after wetting the sand?

Your existing undisturbed ground most likely doesnt need the compactor run over it but I would want to compact the sand personally & and my prefrence would be the vibrating plate compactor.
