After being up for almost a week our 24ft x 30in above ground metal frame pool (Intex) is unlevel about 1/2 an inch. Think it's all right or is that TOO unlevel?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Considering what you would have to do to level it better I'd live with it. 1/2" will not affect the way it works.

Hi,

The ground seems to be settling a little bit under one side of the pool. At 64 pounds per cubic foot, and 4' deep, that is around 250 pounds per square foot of lawn.

I would only go through the trouble of leveling it if the metal started to buckle, or it was more than 3 or 4" off level, and the pool started to become difficult to get into it.

I agree, live with it, and perhaps next spring put a little more dirt under that one side.

Thank you! I just want to be sure my kiddos are safe & that we get a lot of years out of the pool.
