We purchased a 24' round 54" high Artesian Echo Canyon above ground pool. This is a steel pool with resin base, uprights and seats. It was suggested by a friend that we pour a concrete pad with the styrofoam on top as a base for our pool. My husband pours concrete for a living so we would not be contracting this out. We have heavy clay soil here. He and a friend are going to do all of the installation. Do any of you have any opinions or thoughts on this?
