How to Set Up Above Ground Pool on Unlevel Ground

Having to level your ground before pool installation can be challenging and may not be a process a lot of people would love to undergo. Here is something you have been waiting for−getting a pool that fits any unleveled surface. The way to achieve that is to get an above ground pool that is designed to look like a semi-inground pool. This type of pool can fit in any unleveled surface.

It only requires you to dig a meter, which is not up to half the depth of an inground pool. You do not need to level or know how to level uneven ground before using this type of pool. The pool is designed to fit and make you have that perfect landscape pool you sort for.

Let us look at a step by step guide on how to set up an above ground pool on unlevel ground.

Step 1: Site the Location of the Pool

The first thing you need to consider is to have a quick survey of your yard and the nature of the place you need to position your above ground pool. This includes the soil composition, the weather condition of the area, the size and shape of the yard. You would also need to keep in mind that this is a semi-inground pool that needs to be installed on unleveled ground. So, the texture of the soil is important here because you would need to do some little digging.

Step 2: Clear up and Evacuate the yard

Unlike the full-fledge above ground pool, this does not require you to do some leveling. However, you would need to do some little digging. But before you can do that, you need to clear up the surrounding area and make a peg to give you an accurate measurement of the size of your pool. You would also need to make sure the area has enough space for pool slabs.

Most importantly, make sure you site the pool away from any third-party infrastructure. Either beneath, above, or close to the pool. Things like water pipes, gas pipelines, or power lines are not supposed to be close to your pool.

Step 3: Dig

Once the environment where the pool is to be situated is in place, you would need to dig half size of the pool. You can use a measuring tape to determine the depth to make sure you have reached your goal. 

Step 4: Install Your Pool

Now you can commence installing your pool. To successfully install your pool, you would need to go through the manufacturer’s manual. Remember to add a pad beneath the pool to protect your pool liner adequately.

Above Ground Pool Leveling Problems

Your above ground pool needs to be on a leveled ground. If that is not met, you stand a chance of experiencing pool failure. This could result in damage to your pool walls, liner, and even cause uneven water levels.

Your initial pool installation goes a long way in determining the durability of your pool. If you place a pool on an uneven surface, some part of the pool will have more of the weight, which will cause the pool to collapse. Your liner can get wrinkled based because of an uneven ground, which will affect the pool, especially when you need to clean the pool.

More so, the uneven water level does not give you maximum satisfaction because some part of the pool tends to have more water capacity than others. This can be challenging also for children to swim.
