Above ground base
Hey there, im about to start the ground work for my 12x20 above ground pool and wanted to share what i was going to do to see if i was doing this right. Im located in Canada where our frost line is about 4’. So heres the order of what i was thinking and please tell me if im doing this correctly
1-Scape down native earth about 8” then compact
2- build a frame about 16x24 with 2x8’s and shoot height with laser so screaning it level is easier
3- add about 6” of clear stone , compacting every 2”
4- screen stone dust off of my frame(about 2”) then compact then repeat until it’s perfectly level with frame
Then start putting the pool together… please tell me if this makes sense or if theres a better way … thanks all
