Hi All:
I am prepping our site for 21 foot round AGP.
I rented sod cutter and took the sod off the site. I cleared 18" extra so that we can use plastic and then top with rocks/gravel around pool.
I have about a 4 inch height difference side to side on the sight. I took away material from the high side BUT I will need to bring up the edge of low side with material to level.
I am getting a truck load of crusher fines in a few hours. My PLAN is to build up the low edge with crusher fines so that the site is level....pack it down as best as possible with lawn tractor, etc....
Then I will do a 2 inch layer of crusher fines and pack with a virbating plate packer, then do another 2 inch level of crusher fines and compact that as well.
I will have a ledge and slope it away from pool base.
We are using large river rock on side I had to cut away 4 inches (so now has a dirt ledge).
The vendor I bought the pool from said pack and level the crusher fines and then lay doen a "felt" that he sold us with the pool.....clean the felt (shop vacuum) then put liner ontop of that? We bought the foam cove material already so will use that,
I am seeing that buying ridgid foam as a floor is a choice of many??????? Is this the way to go over the felt over crusher fines??? Our vendor said sand dents and he doesnt suggest that as a floor.
Any and all info appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
