Our yard appears to be flat, but must not be. How can I level it so that the pool will be able to fill up without spilling over one side? Thanks in advanced

you need yo lower the water level so a few guys can raise up the low end and put a few inches of sand under the pool...
and it may even be a good idea to take the pool down and use a long two by four piece of wood and a level so you can use a rake to get the ground nice and level, then tamp ( pat ) down then dirt so you know it is level....
then reset the pool back up, but this time only put about an inch of water and then go around the pool with a ruler to see if it is the same water height all the way around the pool..if it is not..just roll the pool to the other side and fix the problem and recheck it as many times it takes to get the same amount of water all around the pool. then fill it up...
good luck

have a nice day..

Get industrial sand and place it within the entire pool footprint.
Smooth it out with a 2 X 4, using a level tool.
Keep making the adjustments until it's all level, then assemble and fill the pool up!
hey...
sorry to hear you may have wasted your money.
At least it'll cool you off for a couple of days before it goes to hell, all cloudy with algae and bacteria and you guys just give up on the tremendous cost and effort of maintaining the gadamn thing!
Take it from someone who's been there.
You're also going to need to replace the dead lawn underneath.
Best of luck beating the heat!!!

You have my deepest sympathy. You can't build the low side up. You must chop down the high side. Then smooth out the whole thing with sand. Install the "pool" and you are ready for the nightmare to begin. Trust me on this. Take the thing back before you exert all this energy. If you want garbage, go to the city dump and get some for free! Enough said.

Move it around, lay a long board that reach all the way accross and put a level on it. keep moving it around untill its close. You can dump some sand down and use the same board and level first, but the sand will still be ther if you ever move or get a different pool.

Simplest way is to get a piece of pvc pipe the same width as the pool lay it on the ground and dig out and fill in until the pipe lays level,, tape a leveling tool to the pipe if you want.
thats how we did our pool. Also, you do want at least 3 inches of sand under it or you will get a hole in it really quick.

There are a number of thoughts, even if the rather less costly and simplest to handle will be to apply Stabilizer to get the water to end shifting round & then use a chlorine (a million-2 lb packets) meant for vinly liners. you are able to elect the flow chlorine pills by out the week & wonder each 10 days to save each thing surprising. you are able to also pick Ph Plus or Minus reckoning on the time of the three hundred and sixty 5 days. yet another element contained in the south with all the solar ia algea. There are a number of sorts of algea so at the same time as curiously it should be maximum proper to take a water pattern for your pool provide sotre & they'll try if for loose. satisfied swimming.

get a bunch of sandbags, and pour them in the area that you plan to put the pool. Use a long board to smooth it out, or use whatever you want. You can actually try putting a level on the sand. Set up the pool on top, and it should settle itself evenly.

We also thought our land was flat, but it wasn't. We had to make a form with 2x4s about the size of the pool, and filled it in with sand.
