This video shows the step by step process to level the ground, preparing it for an above ground pool från Bestway.

Great job on set up. I’ll mirror what you have done. Thank you greetings from 🇨🇦

I put up that same 18 foot pool a few years ago. I had to drain it and take it back down three times because the legs kept sinking in my sand. It's a bit more difficult to find your spacing and add the pavers before the grade the ground but if it keeps you from taking it back down, it's well worth the hassle.

You do not need any background music. I wish people realized that!

Happy family and videos, like the little window, I guess I will put my 33 in pool 12 ft in my cement patio, or what is the best option

Forgot to embed pavers into the sand. Got it. How deep is the sand bed? Once the pavers are in that should take care of the legs sinking into the sand bed. Good job guys.

The bubble is off to the right, indicating it's high on the right side.

How long did you have to let the stone dust layer dry before adding sand? Isn't the stone dust layer kinda hard like concrete when dry?

I would add that the slabs can be sharp, so put some foam matt over it otherwise due to the pressure of the pool it could tear.

You really want small 8x8 pads for each upright also- it provides a large pad for the base of each upright. Level is p1 as you did and your substrate is a good plan but never use soft fill. Always take from packed soil and never use new to try to level the low side. I see you realized this. Good job and I like that you showed the mistake and result and identified the step ! I started writing this before I saw you realize the result. I am 51% Finnish and I hear your accent as european in some way. Americans would hide the mistake and not use it to teach people. I appreciate and love your video. It is very focused and helpful. Thank you very much for the content and showing the mistake! This is where people truly learn. See mistakes or experience them. Post more projects please. Many people need to see samples of doing things themselves. SISU!!!!

We don't have dirt. Do I still dig a hole?

[fadepeter]

My question is can I use mason sands for for underneath of the pool ?

[mrmichael]

It’s stone dust - I’m concerned because the base looks like soil still not dirt. Dog out and never use dug
Out soil to raise the low side. Stone dust and crushed stone you are going to be fine. Few people use simple masonry landscaping rules. These are not pool rules. Pool rules are merely post locations for post secure location—- the rest is washed sand for the pool itself. Four inches of washed sand. The settling is from soils and not true dirt. Each leg crushed stone and stone dust and a little concrete 8X8 - the vase needs to be dug out to dirt without any soil color.. you did more than many videos though —- do t be afraid to dig two feet and fill concrete for each post position.

Its called a level. Hearing you call it a water thing then say its going to make it level was painful

[denismiller]

What he said. Ditch the background music. It’s annoying. Also, I can barely understand what the woman is even saying… You should really hire people to do. The voice overs on your video so people can understand you.

Can't watch a video where the guy doesn't even know the tools he's using.
