Base For Above Ground Pool Foundation Site Preparation Ground Leveling Set up For Above Ground Pools

How to set up the base foundation for your above ground pool and how to level it.

Bestway Pool on Amazon:

In this video, I will show you how I prepare the ground for my installation of the Costco Bestway pool.

I will show you what material I used for the base, what I use to add an additional layer of protection for the pool, and also how I built a frame around the pool to keep everything contained.

Link to my Bestway Pool Step by Step Setup:

There are a lot of available materials for you to use as a base for your above ground pool so I recommend doing some research on which material fits your needs the best.

After you decided which material to use, what this video to see how to prepare your site for the pool set up.

Since I've received a ton of questions on my pool video setup on how to build the frame, I made this video hopefully to answer all of the questions.

How much rock did you use for around the pool?

[NurseAdventures]

Hello. How did you level your frames? What was your initial step? I’m having trouble figuring it out, im no expert on this and want to do DIY. Thanks!

[sarahbayne]

I live in Canada so our pool will only be set up during summers- if I use pressure treated lumber can I leave the frame and sand and everything up all year round? Thank you!

[Countryangel]

Thanks for this video. Did you add the pavers on top of the weed barrier? And then push it down into the sand so they are level with the bottom of the pool?

[Bangbangbigelow]

Dumb question but won’t the wood frame rot out after a while?

[zleebster]

I noticed the brick footings are on top of the sand. do you have any trouble from the brick footings on the pool legs being higher than the bottom level of the pool? Has it caused any issues?

[DebsPnL]

How many bags of sand and what brand did you use?

[davejanczyk]

Is there any instruction I missed on the footings that were used ? Do they come with the pool or did you make them ?
