I looked at your picture.
That looks like a 12'x30" inch Intex, which holds ~1,500 gallons. Did you realize that weighs more than 6 tons -- 12,000 lbs?
I'm pretty sure your platform wasn't 'engineered' for that, and if you tried to 'level' it, the platform would just break.
Here the options I can think of:+ Leave it as is. If it works, it works. If it 'tips', you're no worse off than you are if you drained it.I don't think you really want to get into framing a platform that will actually SUPPORT a 6 ton pool! This way, when your done with the pool, you can take up the platform and just rake the sand out into the grass.
+ When you drain it -- or it 'tips':+ take the plywood off,
+ put SAND under the pool, and level it.
+ add framing to contain the sand in place
+ cut the plywood to fit around the pool.
(Use Gorilla tape on the plywood edges next to the pool!)
