Pool is going up!!! - I would love your suggestions

[Trimom]

Did you do step 18 before you wrote that list ? I think a couple of things are slightly out of order.

He he he .... Nope that's the order the Japanlish recomended. Which is why I checked with you all.

The ground was leveled last weekend, the best $200 I ever spent. I was questionable on the patio blocks at the joints too. Glad to hear that you don't think they are needed either.

The sand is coming tomorrow, and I am trying to get all of the pre-sand steps done, so I don't have to move sand more than necessary

Hi Trimom, I get called out to finish jobs when step 18 was started way to soon way to often. I find pool parts and beer cans all over the yard.

I just started a thread that might be of some help.

Depending on where you live, I WOULD in fact use patio block on the curved sides of an oval pool. We did at the suggestion of the folks here and I believe it was the smart way to go. One would think that the longer the pool sides are, the better prepared support system you would want - pressure is different on the long sides than the curved, but good support all around is peace of mind. Round pools are much different as far as pressure and structure. Ours is buttress free as well.
