How to SET UP Bestway, Intex, Coleman ABOVE GROUND POOL, start to finish!

See how to setup / install an 18' x 48" Bestway Steel Pro Max swimming pool. Many other brands (Intex, Coleman, etc.) are exactly the same. See the preparation and installation steps necessary for above-ground swimming pools.

I didn't show how to hook up the pump and hoses in this video since I imagine most folks won't need that for their specific pool. If you need that info, there's a link to it at the end screen of the video. Good luck!

Thank you so much for this video. The tips and your process are genius. Im going to be following your model. Im excited now to start. I just started digging. Any other tips or suggestions besides a better filter? Thank you!

Ok this foam board is absolutely genius ! We use sand but you can never get it completed wrinkle free. Wish I had watched this video before spending $300 in sand 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m sure the foam board was much more cost effective!

I have the same pool that I will be setting up soon. Ground is getting leveled tomorrow. Interesting you used tiles under the legs. How is that holding up? I was going to use 12x12 pavers but maybe tiles would be better as they are low profile..

How exactly did you flatten out the bottom with 1 inch of water? I tried once and it was hard.

Your pool looks great, I just started digging to install ours but i was planning on using sand, until I saw your video, my question is, do you have any foul smells from under due to foam material not being breathable?

How has everything held up to this point? My concern with the padding is the amount of flow. Ive read that you want water and air to pass through to help with longevity of the liner. Like a comment earlier, if the pad is soaking up any water, does it affect the lining? and smells now? Great Video by the way. I just finished leveling my ground and about to put it up.

How do you know if they small hole in the leg posts goes twords the top instead of bottom??

How to set up canopy for best way pools

[sabrinaluffman]

Did you backfill around it? Or just leave the gap? The company who leveled my ground done it horribly and it looks like this. Unsure how to fill it back in?

I put about 3" of water in my pool. I believe there's a leak or two. I think is where the wall and floor seam is. Any suggestions on how to mend this?
Your video is great. Thanks!

[stevenharmatuk]

How did you fill it you have a well or city water people are telling me my well pump will burn up

[kellymcrae]

Good info. I just bought this pool. Do you use chlorine and chemicals or a salt water system?

[Drayelam]

I just set up this pool. Had to dig a big hole for this pool with a shovel by myself and leveled as best as I can which I think it’s not perfect. If I use my level so make sure legs are 90 degrees and and are level including the top of pool you think it’ll be alright even if where the actually liner sights isn’t perfect? Just worried about it being unlevel

[LVEJEN]

Did the tiles crack? Really wanting to use tiles but nervous about that
