okay....trying out pool ownership, as advised, with intex metal frame (16x48)....

it is on mostly level ground....it has a bit of fall to one side...now, that I have it set up, it turns out to be 2 - 3 inches....

I have access to any amount of limestone sand that I need....this stuff is course, but packs like stone. do you think that I can get away with a couple of tons of this packed and leveled, then the tarp and pool...

also, should I upgrade the tarp to a heavier thickness given this?
