Commencement of all many thank you to all who contribute to this site which helped avoid many potential mistakes I would take made during this install and several modifications that I never would have considered such as adding the thru-wall skimmer!!

Laying out the 3/4" insulation board

Gorilla Pad layer over the insulation....probably overkill just I had ordered this earlier I discovered the insulation tip

Liner relaxing in the dominicus while we take a much needed h2o break subsequently excavation out for the 16" ten sixteen" x 2" blocks

Treated 2" x sixteen" x 16" (2x8s connected with clips) boards over the concrete pads. I had to dig out to motion the blocks against the insulation. Initially I used the Intex dimensions but the legs were only a couple of inches on the blocks. During this dig I recalled reading on this site about the installing the blocks "butted against" the insulation. I had 24 opportunities to kick myself for not recalling that vital slice of information.

Thru wall skimmer added

Filling process....glad I read on here that the walls sag until completely filled!

Sand filter/pump/SWG

Sand filter/pump/SWG...notice copper bar assembly removed

Pump render connections....all piping is 1-1/2"

Skimmer piping on the opposite side of the pool from the returns

Fountain in action.....another great idea I establish hither!

one" Piping for fountain

Odds and ends left to do but after ii-1/2 long days of work (ground prep was done off and on during the two wk catamenia waiting for the pool to go far)

Finally ready to savor

Thank you for the comments CeeElGee and laceygirl.

Over the past ten years we started with the Intex blow upward ring puddle which lasted a flavor as the kiddos were young. Upgraded to a Intex 15 ft circular pool which lasted most 3 yrs and would have made it longer but information technology was setup with only the supplied equipment and ground cover originally, again kiddos outgrew the size.

Decided to get with this setup and hope to get 4 to 6 yrs out of it or more than.

A deck is in the future for sure...

Additional dimensions that may assist with the layout preparing for installation...

The insulation base is 32' x 16'. The back up legs around the pool extend 7" out from the insulation pad.

The centerline distance between the long side supports is 45"
The centerline distance between the curt side supports is 42"

Hi there. Could you measure out the space from the corner to the edge of the beginning brace and between the braces down the width and the length for me please? Thanks

From the corner to the border of the first brace on the long side is 27", 45" between the braces measured at the centerline.

From the corner to the border of the first brace on the short side is 23", 42" between the braces measured at the centerline

The support braces are xx" wide exterior edge to outside border.

So, if I go from where I mark the corner of the pool will exist I become over 27" and lay the first lath and 23" the other way and lay the beginning lath?

Correct, using a 32' x sixteen' layout.

Just keep in mind that the braces are xx" broad and you lot will demand to determine where the eye of your pad will be. If yous are using a 16" pad equally I did you would need to showtime the edge of the kickoff board on the long side at 29" and the short side at 25".

Cool exactly what I needed to know. I am using 16' ten 16' ten four' trailer pads. I know 4' may be overkill just we take weird ground where I live and some on here said the 2' cracked. Rather be on the prophylactic side. I bury them even with the pad non the basis right? If the padding is 1" then coffin iii" in the ground?

Ok. Thank you very much that's interesting cheers. The braces on the 32' X 16' are narrower at 20" (508mm) than the braces on the 24' X 12' at 520mm (20 fifteen/32"). I wonder why?

pncsmith. Would it be possible for you to take a measurement at the top runway of your puddle, taken from the exterior of the poles of two side by side braces? I have attached a pic of where to take it. I could summate it from your measurements only it might non be a mm/fractional inch accurate adding.

Cheers
