Above Ground Pool Ground Preparation: Leveling and Tamping

I level an area to put an above ground swimming pool using a 2x4 and a level.

I just did this and it was sooo difficult.., ! The 2x4 trick was key to getting us moving in the right direction!! ❤ tomorrow we put it up… finally! Thank you for your simple example!

Great idea putting the string on the board and attaching the level.

Big thanks! I really appreciate you showing how you are viewing and using the level and board. First time leveling my yard for the pool. Prior years I just had a shallow and deep end lol.

Thank you sooo much I thought we were leveling way wrong but when I heard you say this takes days. I felt like the weight of the world lift. This is going to be day 2 for the level process. 12x33". thanks again.

I appreciate the honesty. I started leveling the ground for my pool, and didn't realize how long it was going to take.

Thank you for the great video. Just bought an A.G. pool, the box makes assembly look so easy (30 minutes or less) but they dont take ground prep into consideration. Good to know.

Hey I was wondering how sturdy is it has the pool started to sink in at all ?

Did you have any issues with the blocks blowing out? I have the same issue like you and I was thinking doing it the same way as you.

Has anyone told you that you sound just like John C. Reilly?
