    I don't think we can be of much help until you answer DaBaAd's question. It would also help to know your soil conditions and the type or brand of pool.

    The pool is 16 x 24 Kayak. We live in western PA so the soil is not clay or any thing like that but there is a slight grade to the yard. We found out that were we originally wanted to put the pool interferes with an old septic tank. The incline would be long ways on the pool. This pool has a deck built on one end.
