    Its a metal frame. The area is contained as it used to be a playground area for kids. My plan it to build a deck around the pool so I dont know about a patio paver system. And forthe legs I was going to use concrete blocks for those. But I dont want a sinking pool. So whatever needs to be done.

    If its unstable I can always dig out the bark and put some fill dirt in then the sand. No big deal.

    Bark's problem is it's organic and decays, which means it "moves" and changes and settles.

    So it sounds like im digging out the bark. Which isbt a big deal. But I only have to dig out where the pool will reside? And where the bricks will be for the legs? Is sand still a good idea for a base? It will be a couple inches thick and compacted. I can get yards of filtered sand for cheap so if we have to get more than expected its no big deal.
