Not sure if anyone has advice - we are in the process of re-setting our above ground pool. Short story- the installers put the pavers and bottom rails on sand and consequently the pavers shifted and buckled our pool walls.

We are on clay soil. It has been rainy and we have so much ground water that we can't seem to get enough dry weather to complete the set up. We had a dry day a few weeks ago and we got the pavers level and set into the ground.

My question is: would you go ahead with the install knowing you are working in standing water? We will put in drain tile after the set up is complete. Do we need to worry about the rails sinking into the clay or will the pavers distribute that weight?

The water is really only on one side of the hill where it is about 2 feet underground.
