Hello ! Thanks for the video . How much sand did you use ? Did you put the sand over grass ?

@papawsplace

Ай бұрын

Can't go by how much sand I used because my ground was so unlevel. But you want a minimum of 3 inches under the pool.

We did the same thing and our low side has about 10 inches of sand and high about 2. will that much sand hold up overtime?

@papawsplace

3 жыл бұрын

On the high side of mine I sloped it out another 8 foot or so, then mulched it with straw/hay to get the grass growing. I was worried it would wash out if I didn't slope it out away from pool.

So, you are digging out 4 inches first and then adding 4 inches of sand back. If this is correct, that may take a while if the soil you're digging in is hard.

Where you get the tractor could use one.

I had to use a lot but if your land is level 3 inches of sand for 20 foot square is about 3.8 yards.

Add weights to help pack down and level at the same time, also just use a 3ft rebar through the wood into the ground so u dont have to dig a pipe out

Do you know how many yards of sand for 10X16 Pool?

@papawsplace

2 жыл бұрын

If your ground is level, I would go 18' for the sand so it will be out past the pool. So, 18' at 3 inches depth is 2.36 Cy's of sand.

You level your ground first before the sand?

That would depend on how level your ground is. If the ground is level to do a 20 foot circle 3 inches thick you would need approx. 3.0 yards or approx. 79 Cubic feet. That is like 160 50lb bags of sand.

Sand is not used to level the pool. Sand is for pool base and cove. Level is achieved by digging the ground level. Totally done wrong. Read your instructions with your pool. To be fair, I have done small pools like this that did not fail. You must know that the sand will compact and wash out. Your pool wall may fail then .
