Deep End In My ABP

[roto23]

I am almost done digging. Instructions say to put 2" of sand all the way around. But the instructions are not written with a deep end in mind.

Should I mix some portland cement (about half and half) and lput this on the slopes of the deep end?

Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Having my AGP with a deep end installed tomorrow - if the weather cooperates! My pool builder is putting down sand. I asked about some other materials, specifically vermiculite. His recommendation was to go with Pool Crete, which is what is used for in ground pools. His price for Pool Crete was a bit steep for me so we'll be sticking with sand. He did mention that cement would not be advisable as it would wear the liner very quickly. Hope this helps.

Yes, thanks for the reply. I am thinking about using 2inch thhick 4x8 ft foam sheets, dunno for sure yet.
