Firstly I spray painted the outline of the pool on the grass using a central stake with string attached and car spray paint. The next step was to dig out the soil until the base was on a flat level, if you get this wrong the weight of the water will collapse the pool. Unfortunately this area is on a fair slope so lots of digging ensued!
We soon regretted digging by hand with spades and pick axe as there were several tons of soil to remove and lots of rocks (some as large as a wheelbarrow).
After the soil was removed we layed a ton of sand and used this to get the ground more level and to smooth out the surface under the pool.
Then to construct the pool and check for leaks (which there were a couple).
Pool is up and looking good.
