The water pressure here in downtown E-City SUCKS BAD. All told, it took close to 10 hours to fill that pool. Around here, you can't take a shower while the washing machine's running, because every time the washer goes into a rinse cycle, it all but stops the water flowing to the shower. It's not just our house either, everyone around here has issues with it. :(
We went to Sams and bought those hard rubber black mats that click together and put it under ours. For our 15X42 it took 6 packages and then 1 package from Toy R Us of the color mats that is used by the ladder.
Lol, watching this is funny now because we got one of these from a friend and did all the prep work for the ground but then made the mistake of just putting it down and starting to fill it up. We forgot about pushing the bottom out .... The pool is draining as we speak so we have to start all over again lol.
dont take this the wrong way but why did you guys set the pool up in the driveway. When the grass is sofer incase someone hite their head. Things do happen. Grass can always be replace not a someones head. Please remember I was just asking I wasnt being rude.
Oh ok the reason I ask was we where thinking about doing the same thing but got nerveos about the kids hiting their head so we ended up putting the pool on the grass. Has you can see for yourself with my 5 yrs old in the pool in one of the clips. Thank you for not taking that post the wrong way like some people would have.
I didn't have the heart to tell her, but you're right.
The surface area of the 12'x3' pool is 113.04ft^2. Moving to the third dimension, we get a volume of 339.12ft^3. This converts to 2,536.79377 US Gallons. A Gallon of water weighs in at 8.345404lbs, meaning the water in the pool weighs 21,170.5689lbs. This is a (VERY) low estimate, as we're not accounting for the volume of water in the bowed out sides.
TL;DR - Ten and a half tons of water will compress the sh!t out of anything.
You live in a great location, big garden, lovely foliage around and little traffic. Excellent.

1) That driveway's a ^&%# to get into, we almost never use it, wife's got stripes down the sides of her station wagon from trying.
2) Huge pine tree overhead, putting it under the carport keeps the pine needles out
3) Carport has lights, swim at night!
4) No sunburns!

Little physics lesson....
The pool weight will compress any ground you set it on...it will be rock hard on the bottom no matter where you set it....
