Can i put an intex ultra frame pool on a clean concrete slab that has a slight 6"grade?
I am wanting to buy (very soon) the 24'x12'x52" intex ultra frame pool. The only place for us to put it will be on a solid, uncracked, smooth, clean, flat concrete slab. However the slab has a gradual grade to it. I measured this afternoon and it appears to be about 6 inch difference from one end to the other. Assuming the pool would be filled to 90percent capacity, one end would be at 50" and the other at about 43-44". I actually like the idea of having a shallower end. I know the company says LEVEL but you never know if it is to cover liabilities or it is really necessary. Has anyone out there done this? What are some suggestions for making it level? Honestly I really just want to get this pool up, my husband is deployed and we just moved to North Carolina and it is hot here! I thought of layering carpet padding (which would take a lot) under the pool............ Then how do I raise the "footers" so they are at the equal grade if I went with this carpet padding method? We will have this up for 3 summers, so will it really be put under a lot of stress? Please no hypotheticals or calling me stupid, I need actual accounts and experiences. I appreciate anyone who contributes, thanks.
