    I use a sand base and have never had a problem. And its great at creating a buffer for anything that might Puncture the liner to sink into. When I used to just put it on compact soil even the tiniest little twig would try to muscle thorough the liner.

    I like the ladder in pool, it also helps if any little kid or animal falls in pool they have something to climb on. Nice video.

    We use foam as a base under pool Very soft About 1 to 1.5 cm thick hard foam Will prevent holes

    I stumbled across your channel because I just bought one and I must say your videos are very helpful and you got a new subscriber!! Thank you

    PS. My first year I use playground mulch as a base but it still punctured the liner after that I used foam board it was expensive but it was a one-time purchase and well worth the price
  • @Superman-xr1oh
    Hey Dale, have you considered putting the pool on foamboard? What's your opinion?
  • @lightwalker4558
    Thanks for the tips. When spreading the base out I stand in the middle and push out the bottom edges using a 15' extension pole with a small brush on one end. Just be sure not to push too hard or you might puncture your liner. 😮
  • I have the exact same pool & love it. Your videos help so much. I am wanting to install a safety or barrier fence around the top of the pool to add height so my Labradors quit jumping into the pool over the sides. Do you think that will work on this pool? Since the steel siding rode's aren't straight up & down, they slant out.
  • Ugh, a couple of the polls around one side of my pool are leaning towards the deeper end (started out about 2 inches unlevel and now it’s like 4 to 5 inches unlevel, but the polls are leaning towards the deep end…. Every time I get in, I think to myself is today going to be the day that it collapses and shoots me out the side.
  • My corners keep shifting causing the walls to lean. Any tips to correct this?

    Hi Dale, new subscriber here. We just got this pool from Costco recently and your videos have been a big help. Question about the solar cover you linked. The Costco pool is oval and I noticed the cover is rectangular. What size did you get and was it easy enough to cut to size? Any tips?
  • @jay3251
    Can you link the gravel you used? Thank you Dale
