Some yards may only need light leveling, while others require more work. We live on the side of a mountain, and our yard is sloped, so we had to excavate to create a sloped area. The site also must be compacted and capable of supporting the weight of the water inside the pool, and you should avoid areas with sand or mud. It is always important to have and practice swimming pool safety. If you have children you may want to consider pool alarms, above ground pool ladders, and fences to keep children from accidentally falling in or protecting someone who can’t swim. These s come in a few different sizes, as we mentioned in the Intex pool reviews.
Cleaning tools such as brushes, nets and skimmers should be used to keep the sides and surface of the pool free of algae and debris.
