I did not put a second geotextile between but instead watered the 0-4 down into the 8-16. On top of the compacted 8-16, I put a couple of inches of 0-4 stonecrush, primarily to get a smoother surface. I compacted the soil first (see pic, very messy since it had been raining), then added the geotextile and the 8-16 and compacted again. Make at least 3-4 runs with a good size plate compactor, should be available at any rental place. A construction engineer would probably have a calculation based on load, ground conditions etc. My research said to use 10-12", but I ended up with only about 5". This prevents the macadam from mixing with the soil below. You need to put geotextile down first, then the macadam on top. This quality drains well, while still manageable for hand shoveling. I used crushed granite of a quality called 8-16 (all stones between 8 and 16mm), guess it is called something else in the US. Crushed stone, when compacted, interlocks and creates a stable base that still drains well. You should use crushed stone (macadam), not natural riverbed gravel. I guess gravel is a generic layman's term. Choose an option 8ft Cozy Cove Plumbed With 6 Jets 8ft Cozy Cove With No Jets. This picture is helpful, but you also need the distance from paver to paver. Available Pre-Plumbed With 6 Jets & Air Control Valve Add for Starting at: 2,195.00 2,995.00. Very pleasing after all that work!įiguring out where to place the pavers required some drawings and then careful measurement. As you can see, my waterline is exactly on the seam. Foam boards will work just as well I'm sure. The result is a level, firm but pleasant bottom of the pool. On top of that I placed the Intex tarp and then on top of that an outdoor grade thick patio carpet. The result is almost like a tennis clay court surface, level with the pavers. I then placed and leveled the pavers and finally added 2" of "stone dust" (not sure of the proper English term, very finely crushed stones), which I watered down and compacted. I therefor opted to dig to a fairly decent level with a bobcat and then add 5" of gravel which I compacted with a 500 pound compactor. My base was a mix of clay, soil, rocks, boulders and bedrock, in a slope.Impossible to dig or scrape to a 1" level. The lenght of the hose doesn't matter as long as it is not too short. I needed a very specific height to match the house. I could place one of the jacks on my reference paver and move around the other jack, checking all the other pavers. Very simple and effective, particularly since I did everything singlehanded. Pete Beach, St.Thanks! Yes, homemade waterlevel made from graded test tubes, gardenhose and jacks.
