My current job is something along the lines of an internal developer. I used to work for one of those larger computer manufacturing companies. Not anymore, I escaped that gong show! I'm sitting in a little more of a comfortable position doing much more of what I enjoy.

- hello. great instructions. i have found them very useful. i am currently installing the exact same pool as you.did u add pavers all around the pool?or just where the pool wall gave out? i completely agree with u that it is worth spitting out the money to hire someone.

- When I spoke with the manufacturer, the individual there suggested not using pavers at all. His comment was, provided the ground is level where your wall tracks are (and its vital that these are level... really level... level level level level), you don't need pavers. In fact, over time, the tracks will settle into the dirt such that the pool will be so snug in the ground you should never have issues with the wall popping out of the tracks... again, this is provided the ground is level and not back filled anywhere (this is also vital, do not back fill if you dig to deep in an area... dig every where else to match the lowest point...) Pavers will hinder that settling... which, apparently, is a good thing.
