intex 32 x 16 setup

Just started to setup. I am putting the pool in an area with pea gravel and compacted earth beneath it. I bought pavers to use with the supports, but wonder if I need them. Thoughts? If I do, should I dig into the ground below the pea gravel to make them flush? Thanks,

Are you putting sand over the gravel, or pool bottom foam?

The supports will sink right through pea gravel. Top of the pavers should be flush with the base.
