Above Ground Pool Site leveling and Ground Preparation Setup part 1 

😂😂😂

Lmao same

LOL...well, it sounds like you made it, once that pools up and filled... it will make the reward all that much sweeter :)

story of my life ! 😢😆

I'm about to do it too bro I feel your pain but yes will be worth it I'm sure

Me and my mom have the same problem. But we started using a tiller ans THE difference was AMAZING ... We still had to remove by shovel and rack but a tiller is complete game changer. Maybe try that

Thanks, I'm glad it worked out for you :)

Lol, yep that about sums it up.. getting land flat and level is not for the faint of heart, 🙃

I admit, having access to a back hoe and ZT mower is nice, but renting a sod cutter will do the same job, even better to be honest. As long as you have some kind of motorized yard equipment 4 wheeler, small tractor mower, you get the same result. I have done the same before without some of these toy's... its just takes a lot more sweet equity :)

All the stuff can be rented for a day

Thanks! I hope to get it done and edited by next week.

No problem!

Well, at least you got your workout in LOL :)

Your right about that, anyone tells you it’s easy, hasn’t done it.

Yep, It was an unintended benefit... but worked like a charm. 😁

I used a 12 foot 2x4, drilled the hole at 10 foot to give me a 20 foot circle. that leaves you an extra foot around the perimeter

You’re welcome😁

Interesting? To be honest though, most warranty's are not worth the paper they are written on. I would not be surprised if the warranty is voided if you put water in it :)

@@Yellowdogsworld Yeah I dont know what I would expect from the manufacturer. Any issues are sure to be my fault anyway. Every video I've seen people use sand to level...Like EVERY single one...

Well, I think it's ok personally but one thing to remember is sand doesn't pack, this is why I used it as little as possible, for me, it's more for the fine finish than major media leveling if you use too much it's going to move around under the pool eventually. This may be why Intex doesn't support it "so to speak".

Thanks :)

I’m certain I used a 12 foot board, 18 = a 9 foot radius, that’s why there was 3 feet overlapping the center.

​@@Yellowdogsworld Gotcha! Thanks

Sounds like a deal, just need me good heavy equipment trailer and a diesel truck to haul it with- 😀 but I am in South Carolina… so on second thought🤦‍♂️

@@Yellowdogsworld Yea that's too far. The accent sounded more like you were from Texas. You can actually build an in ground pool for about 3 to 5k. Depends on how fancy you want the finishes and if you skim coat or just use a liner. The construction is just with simple cinder blocks. You have the hardest part already solved... digging the hole.

The first one we put up lasted about 4 years up year around, The second one not much, maybe 2 years. So i think it all depends on who makes the sail, both were ordered from amazon.

Glad it helped

I would not say it’s necessary, but it helps in getting as smooth and flat a bottom as possible. From what I’ve been told you don’t want it too heavy since sand tends to move easily.

On my mower it has a bracket for a tow hitch, I used that.

Lol.. we’ll, I technically did, it was the first pool, I just failed to film it…. It was good exercise. 🥴

Lol.. or at least borrow one 🙃

10 bags total.

I ended up with 10 bags

It was a 16 x 2 x 4

Thanks liz, it was a lot of work :)

Yep, the wife made sure It didn’t go to waste.

thanks :)

Your welcome 🤗

With a bit of finesse, I think a box blade would do the work too. My shoulders were good and warmed up, fortunately, they held up.
