Will the pool be sturdy on a fairly level ground if we fill it only partially? Would level ground for next (full) season.

I think my pool is a little more than two inches off. The front is deeper than the back. My pool is really full and it is fine. In fact, when we get a lot of rain, the water level goes above the inflated rim.

Stable if the sides are undisturbed, but not sturdy. This pool has no rigid sidewalls. The upper rim must be air-filled. It then floats as the water level rises. One of the challenges of this pool is that entry must occur without significantly depressing the side walls, as that would allow water to rush over the lowered section. The walls taper in, thus a straddle of them requires stance with not only sufficient height but also sufficient width. That said, friends of our maintain a larger diameter Intex pool of the same design at less than full in order to allow their 3 & 5 year olds to easily climb over the edge.

To fill to capacity it's imperative to have on level ground, but to answer specifically, fairly level; partial full should be fine, hope this helped:)

I would think for safety reasons it would not be best to under fill. When the pool measurement says 15ft circumference, 48" high, the water is filled 6" lower to accomodate the air ring. Hope that helps.

I have an above ground pool and the bottom middle is not much deeper than the sides, so I do not have that problem. My husband does move it occasionally to help it out.

We had sand brought in and leveled. Using the ground cover is also a must. But all in all , this pool is easy to set up and you can tell soon after beginning to fill if it's level or not.

No, we dug out where necessary to level the trampoline. But you don't have to dig the entire surface area of the trampoline. Just digging an area large enough for the legs which are quite small worked for us. My husband used his level to check make sure it really was level. Also, we bought ours last year and it's still in good shape.

I would strongly suggest that you do not sink a pool designed to be above ground half way into the ground. The complications are too numerous to mention here. But if you choose to do so anyways this ladder would not be stable if you modified it (i.e. cutting one side down to the desired sized)

My Grandson's SKLZ is on their covered deck for a year and they have had no problem using/maintaining it there. I filled it with only sand and it seems to have plenty of weight. It takes some effort to work the sand to completely fill the base without water.

when the pool is full they are about flush with the rim, IE. less than 6", when i set up the pool it was cheaper to pour a slab rather than level the soil. i poured a 20'x36' slab just to give some extra clearance so as to walk around the pool and something to place the pump/sand filter on also.hope that this helps.

You will need a foot and half more on each side, for poles and boards. We love our pool and very glad we bought it. The picture shows pool sides are on ground but it actually says to put on boards.

Honestly, it's not worth it to put sand in. We filled ours with water and it floats just a little. As soon as you step on it, the ladder goes down.

It's a great sturdy pool- I would recommend that you do not fill it to the top if you are worried.

I used it for my 30 foot round above ground pool..actually it is nice because you can lift one end up and rotate to do it by yourself...Pretty hard to get it back up by yourself. I may install a post this year and just swing it over to the post and leave one end on the pool.

The pool is fine. Mine is sitting empty because no one will come out and work on them. I'm told they only want to work on inground pools. So if you can do it yourself, you'll be fine.

Yes, level out with sand. The sand also helps bottom of pool getting damage from twigs, rock, and what ever might be in grass. It will also help in getting creases out when filling up.

Can you add a 6 inch step-up near the pool and fasten the steps to it? Also, I would suggest using sand fill...I used 50 pounds and it is very stable.

It will make a mess. Don't use it on the pool deck. The ground is where it should be used and enjoyed

A slight hill is okay because the base should be filled with sand or water and ends up being pretty stable when that is done. Enjoy!
