Greetings from Sabula, Iowa! We will be accepting delivery of an Intex 16x32 ABG on Friday. Currently working on leveling the ground. Sand was just delivered. The plan is to bring the high side down to the low side, measuring 18x34 total, then place the 4x8x16 concrete blocks, then fill with sand and add insulation board. I have a couple of questions:

1. I haven't seen any pics with these blocks, but know lots of folks recommend them for this pool. Do we place them with the short or long end against the pad? My inclinations is long end against it, but am worried that 8" isn't enough to allow for the legs to expand out.

2. How do I know exactly where to place the blocks? How far out are the legs of this pool when filled? I guess it would be the length of the straps under the liner. Does anyone have those measurements? I haven't checked the distance between the legs either. Anyone know that?

We just want to be as prepared as possible when it arrives, and something always goes wrong. Doing my best to prevent it before it happens. lol
 
Bumping this up top, I know I have seen the dimensions for this type of pool on here before but don't know exactly where. Hopefully some one in the know see's this. I don't know if this will help but I found the installation manual you can check out before you get it. Manual

I just finished prepping for the same pool but it's the 12x24. We ended up putting the top rail together on the ground and using it as a reference to place the pavers. The measurements on the box will give you the distance that the legs kick out from the actual bottom dimension of the pools. The chart referenced above is also handy.
 
Here's my thread on the progress we have made so far. Rigid foam going down tonight then we'll be set to build the pool and filler up!

New AGP build - Intex 12x24

Spent last week prepping a spot for my first pool. We got an Intex 12x24 on sale over the winter after reading up on them. Hired an excavator to get us down to the solid ground and haul in and compact the choke. Finished up leveling and smoothing out the sand late last night, so no pics of...
