Levelling:
When levelling the ground, always
remove material f rom the top of the
slope rather than filling in the bottom:
this will ensure greater ground stability
and firmness. Always remove all grass,
roots, stones, etc. Levelling is extremely
important: devoting the necessary time
and effort to ensuring that your pool sits
properly on the ground will avoid prob-
lems later.
How to level: thanks to a large mason
rule (aluminium or wood) and a level,
level out the ground forming rectangles
(or squares), locating this rule in the se-
lected and cleaned area. When all the
areas are on level and when the excess
of ground is removed, you may fill in the
small areas which are left to level out
(with clean ground or sand) but always
compacting and levelling again after-
wards. It is very important the installa-
tion area is well compressed and firm in
order the ground do not subside when
the pool will be full of water. Please ask a
professional : builder, gardener,...

Finishing:
On the cleaned and levelled ground,
spread a light coat of sieved sand (max.
1cm).
Water and compact it (with a garden
roller). Check that is well levelled.
Do not use the sand to level the ground.
The finishing has to be perfect.
