Have you set this pool up on grass or concrete?

With a shovel, my husband took the top layer of turf off (to make the ground as even as possible) and then we added sand, which we pounded down. Also, as we added sand, my husband used a level to make sure the area was level. This leveling out is probably not as necessary as we did, but it made a very smooth base. We had another pool that we just put up over grass (without leveling out) and you could feel all the bumps and the pool leaned a little to one side. This procedure of leveling out was time consuming and a lot of work but well worth it. And since, over winter, we let the water out but left the pool lay covered with a tarp, we will never have to prepare the ground again. Hope this helps.

I set it up on grass with a 2 inch sand top layer; Its been up almost a year and its great for the limited investment!

on my wood deck or could set it on anything a long as there is nothing sticking up, I love it

We removed the sod before setting ours up in the yard; I heard from others that the rotting grass under the pool can be problematic/stinky.

I set it up on a dirt patch. It comes with a tarp to put under the pool. You could easily set it up on grass or concrete though.

I have set it up on concrete with out any issues. It lasted two seasons.. I wouldn't recommend this pool as eventually the inflatable ring will leak.. They have another pool that same size with metal bars instead of the ring that will last you alot longer

We actually had a truck load of sand brought in and spread it over a portion of the lawn.

We set ours up on sand due to the pressure. We followed the guide they gave in the booklet.

I have not had to stake it in the ground. The water weighs it down pretty well. It would be best to place this on grass because the kids do hit the ground as they come off of the slide so the grass is a softer landing. Concrete may hurt them. And the lagoon may get holes in it from rubbing on the concrete. So, I would only suggest grass.

I think u could use concrete to make anchors to hold it down. But if your taking about making this permanent I would replace the legs with one piece pools and anchor them

As recommended in the instructions, you would be better off putting it on grass as the bottom is rather thin and with littles, it could easily moveband tear on concrete. Plus, grass is softer for them when sitting in it.

I recently bought an XL for my fiberglass pool, even though some of the info said it was for concrete. I was told by a pool expert that it would work fine and it has.

I think it would need grass because when they come down the slide they hit the bottom pretty fast when it's wet. Concrete might rip the material faster or hurt their bottoms when they land at bottom of slide. The whole Bounce moves a bit when they are in there jumping. With water in the base we didn't need to stake it down.

I just used duct tape and it worked fine all season. Put down two layers on top our concrete patio. Only thing I'll change is to install the pool in our carport out of the sun. BTW, the material "aged" from outdoor exposure in south Louisiana and will need replacing for this season. Enjoy.. O^Ocrm

Yes I have an inground pool. I am not sure what you mean about tiled? If you just have tile around the top border and steps and a design on the bottom. them it will work fine.

I bought the Gorilla pad. Its soft, for those who installed itnon concrete. If you are putting it on grass, I suggest you use a stronger tarp so nothing can get through and puncture your pool. The Gorilla pad will also work on grass. It sold on Amazon. I hope this helps

Yes it does. I have heard that other people putting the pool directly on the ground have added another tarp. We poured a concrete slab and the tarp works OK over that.

I have a concrete pool here in FLORIDA and it works well. Surface is Marzite (sp)

It needs to be on grass. Concrete would make the landing too hard when they come down the slide.

I would say it is better on grass b/c concrete would be hard at the bottom of the slide.

It's cushy, but not cushy enough for brick. The instructions also say not to put it on concrete. We have a concrete patio, though, and my plan was to put it on a few towels to protect it, but in the end, I opted to put it on the grass.

Our pool has tile around the edge and its doing a good job keeping it clean. good luck

I am not sure. When I ordered this it said for use on concrete pools. I would email the company to make sure. Sorry.

We took a level and set it all around on the ground where the pool was going. Any low spot we just filled with dirt. It wasn't perfect and the pool filled up fine. It's an inch off now that it's filled up but doesn't seem to affect the pool
