Hey pool experts!

First time pool owner here. My wife and I bought a house where the previous owner had creatively filled in a burnt down barn with a steel framed above ground pool and a deck. Very neat space. Unfortunately the steel was going bad and we could not find someone to fix it.

We purchased a 32x16 intex pool to fill the old space (same dimensions).

The ground was leveled pretty wel from the old pool there, so hoping to just add some sand for foot feel, but I have a few questions

1. What dimensions do I need leveled? I know the pool is 32x16, but what about the leg stands? Do they add a few feet? I have limited space to work with and am retrofitting it into an existing deck so a little space matters a lot . Please help!

2. Assuming the ground is level, is it necessary for pavers to be under every leg?

Pic attached of the space. Thanks so much!

Welcome to TFP Kyle!

Did you find the answers you were looking for? I can ping a couple of experts on AGPs who may be able to assist.

I don't know the leg dimensions so I am no help there.

As for the pavers under the legs-YES they are NEEDED under the legs and they need to get THICK ones. At least 4" or they tend to crack. You will need to dig down into the base ground so the pavers are level with the top of the ground.

Not quite. I have such a defined area where I can put the pool, I really need to know the dimensions of the assembled pool. What footprint do the stands take up?
