If so could you please help and walk me through it. I want to give my kids the joy of our new pool and do not have the smarts to do it alone could some one help.

Answer 1

You're better off using a base of sand under the pool. This will help protect the pools liner and is more comfortable to stand on in the pool. Bricks and concrete are too rough on the liner.

Answer 2

yea...put a few bricks around the edges of the pool.
