Installation Preparations for an Above-Ground Steel Pool
1. Site Survey & Terrain Assessment
- Begin with a inspection to evaluate ground conditions.Check soil stability: Soft or uneven soil may lead to sinking or tilting. Conduct a geotechnical assessment or simple load-bearing test (e.g., dig a 30cm hole, fill with water; rapid drainage indicates loose soil).
- Avoid slopes: Choose a flat area (max slope gradient ≤2%).
2. Ground Leveling & Base Preparation
- A stable base is critical to prevent pool deformation.
- Clear debris: Remove rocks, roots, and vegetation from the installation area.
- Compact the soil: Use a mechanical compactor or hand tamper to create a firm foundation.
- Add a protective layer: Lay a 5-10cm sand or gravel layer, topped with a geotextile fabric to prevent erosion.
3. Material & Tool Preparation
- Gather all required materials in advance: Pool set components. Tools: Laser level, rubber mallet, torque wrench, and sealant gun.
- Consult professionals: Engage a structural engineer if installing on unstable soil or in earthquake-prone areas.

Final Checks
Verify base dimensions against the pool design. Always prioritize precision in groundwork—it’s the foundation of a trouble-free pool experience!
