    Default Help shorted myself with sand on ag pool installation

    Building 27' 52" round pool and dont have enough sand Instructions called for 2" sand which I have with 1' paver under each post flush with top of ground. I missed the part of burying the paver so now pool wall and track up bolted 1" too high leaving only 1'of compacted sand in pool. To add now would have to dump outside and shovel in(too much work). Two questions with cove can I leave as is and will j-hook liner stretch that extra inch??? Thank you

    If im reading this correctly, the paver is sitting on the ground vs buried ie top of paver flush with original earth. I would fix it as the bottom track is now sitting on an inch of sand vs compacted earth. The cove will very easily wash out, liner will pop and you will have say 18k gallons of water going somewhere. The paver top should be flush with the ground,
    the uprights sit on the paver and the bottom track sits on undisturbed earth, two inches of sand then go in pool.

    Pavers have to be flush with the base, there's no way around it and no way to cheat it, your pool will hold a tremendous amount of weight.
    If you think it's alot of work now wait until your done and you fill it up and then it leaks and you have to drain it and rip it apart and fix it.
    Fix it now while you can.
