Thank you for taking time to respond. The frame is partially in the ground, so it's partially supported by the ground. Least about is 4 inches in. We put the frame up and filled but didn't use leg supports - one leg did not have enough room to fully extend. Left us having to drain out the water. Pool needed to be away a little from the sides. This time we cut the wood. I'm a little concerned the wood will sink into the sand while the pool is filling there for creating an unlevel surface..

Thanks
