Should you tamper the sand before leveling it?

Will this work using a 16ft board

Doesn't sand wash away?

Will this work the same way using a 16ft board instead of 10

THIS DONT LEVEL CORRECTLY IT DOES MAKE LOW AND HIGH SPOOTS AND IT TAKES HRS NOT MINS. TRIED THIS 3YRS IN A ROW

Hi, how many bags did this take

The area needs to be watered and tamped far beyond loose sand. Each upright of an above ground pool also needs a small 8x8” concrete landscape pad placed with the lower ring assembled and fitted. Aka you can’t use one section to place pads. Under the pads I would also dig out 6” and fill with crushed stone - with stone dust and water a few times to ensure it is settled completely. Some dog a foot - six inches of stone and stone dust and then top it with stone filled concrete. Why why why asked Nancy Kerrigan…. Google that if you don’t get it- once that pool is filled with 10,000 gallons of water….. ask google how much that weighs. Any upright without a pad block sitting on stone and stone dust watered in hard pack will sink in season one. When digging a pool site - dig the high side - strip the low of grass - never use the loose to build up the low side. If you need to do this you need to consult your building department for guidance. Pools will sink and settle far beyond your wildest imagination if they don’t sit on hard pack original ground with soil and grass removed. Each upright needs to have a landscape concrete pad under it. Once you have this done with a laser level that can light the base 160 degrees-- that will tell you where the pads need to be. Repeat for each side but I prefer to light up all and mark the whole 360 first. All pads must be at the same level. All pads must sit on very solid ground. Once that is done- lay boards over the edges and even plastic across a wheel barrow entry to dump washed sand into the center. Use online calculators to know how much washed sand you need for the pool size. Once that mountain of sand is in the center of the pool area assemble the entire base ring aligned with the pads. Insert the wall and top ring as instructed -- dump stone dust around entire outside perimeter of the pool walls. Soak it down- add more so it is at the lower ring level. This creates forever drainage for the lower ring. I’d add foam on outer walls and cover with crushed stone etc. in the pool- stick the base coping foam to the entire inner wall at the base. Spread the sand and make a berm on the outer edge. Wet it all lightly a few times. Reshape it - wet it- repeat until the contours remain when Lightly soaked. Lay your felt pad down-- use wall covering if you bought it -- install the liner. I hope you bought j hook liner - it is worth every penny. Assemble all as instructed by pool manufacturer - your pool won’t be crooked or random in shape. Way beyond sand shaping or Leveling….

The board needs weights to make it level easier but cant do too much either

How many pounds of sand is this?

What if you have a square pool

What kind of sand and how many bags
