Working on leveling bottom track. Have a few pavers in. all level and set at the same height but there are gaps under the track, causing the actual track to be out of level. Do I just pack dirt underneath the track to bring it up to level or will this cause issues later on? Also considered setting another paver under the track, between the 2 pavers that are under the plates to bring track to level, then packing any remaining gaps with dirt. Not sure if this option is possible or overkill. I would rather just pack with dirt but don’t want it settling later on.

Thanks. I think I’ve decided first I’m going to try to lower the pavers I already have down to a point where the rails are completely touching the ground. I’ll just have to scrape more away in the high areas. If that doesn’t work then I’ll just slip another paver under the rail in between the plates to level it. Hoping for some nice weather this week so I can get out and work.
That's the best way to do it. I wish I had my pool. The weather is terrible here but will get nicer this week. Should get the pool by July.
That's what poolsupplyworld said. I could say a million bad words right now but I'm trying to get over it. LOLLol yeah I’m hoping to put the wall up and finish install on Memorial Day weekend. That gives me plenty of time to get my pavers and track level as long as the weather cooperates.
Take pics. We love seeing pictures of installs and members enjoying their pools. If you need anything just ask. We'll be here night n day.
Ok so had to dig a little deeper but got all pavers and track area leveled within 1/2”. I don’t think this will cause issues but my track area (about a foot wide path all the way around) is now roughly an inch lower than the rest of the pool. I’ve been told that as long as the pavers are level then the pool will be level. I already have a pile of sand in the middle so I don’t really want to take all this out if I don’t need to.

I'm late to this thread but would it work to use compacted fine mortar under the low spots on the bottom rails? My pool install manual recommends a final level with rock dust or fine mortar.
