Hi,

I now have a big 18' round hole (the pool is 16'). Husband wanted room to work. Sod was removed with sod cutter, ground is pretty level after having to dig 1/2 of hole 4" down to level. This is after getting about 3" rain over the weekend. My husband is using 2x4 with bubble level.

My husband is insisting on using sand, I've explained to him that it is not the same as a pool w/steel walls and liner in between. Obviously with this pool, the liner is the wall.

He is spraying it today with the weed/grass killer.

What do I need to do now? He is not keen on laying down 16 pavers for the posts.

Could we put the sand all around up to the edges and sit the posts on the ground w/couple layers of plastic and the tarp???

Thanks for any suggestions,
Teena
