Not to criticize, but to inform from my own mistakes and seeing others doing an install. Yes, my pool has some big nasty liner folds that collect algae to no end. The gentleman should have not used a front end loader to do sod removal. He created a small problem that will bite him later. The floor of his pool will become uneven. He should have used a sod cutter to give himself a solid flat base, even if he had to make two passes. His crush would have been more evenly spread to a uniform thickness. His method of screeding the gravel has it's problems, the center point always rises if not pinned to an exact elevation. In my opinion, and it is just that, an opinion, I would have loose fitted the top rail before the water level went over the half full point. My reasoning is this, the walls are corrugated. The weight of the water can create enough force to stretch out the corrugation making it nearly impossible to make the connections. A loose fit to start with, after the liner is messaged into place is the best way to go. Over all a good job.

Thanks for sharing your input Glenn! Precision in all steps - from ground preparation to final assembly - is absolutely critical when building any pool.

Crushed stone, meaning limestone screenings. NOT high performance bedding or other crushed stone alternatives. The reason for this is the sand layer will wash into hpb or other alternatives. Go to a landscape supply yard and ask for crushed stones and you'll be pointed to about 10 different kinds of gravel or "crushed stone". So again, limestone screenings. Your welcome.

[@larryroyovitz7829]

Where I come from, we have what's called limestone quarter down - which means the size of the limestone is no bigger than a quarter inch, and all sizes down (the down part), so it compacts really well. Would you consider this to be the same as screenings?
