how do i level the ground for a pool?

Use a water level:  \nTake a long piece of hosepipe, put a short length of clear tube in each end.  \nFill with water and with a friend lay the pipe along the ground with the open ends (with the clear tube pointing upwards).\nThe water in the clear tubes at each end will be at the same height.

if your looking to make a back ground.... just look them up online there are sevreal premade layouts! so we dont have to go through all the trouble! kk  ; )

find a mountain, hill, or other land area that is elevated, that collects water.\n\nDig a trench, or path, so the extra water flows through it.\n\nMake sure the path you dig goes into another body of water, like a pond, lake, or other water area.

I dont know. How do you use stakes for sweeping though?

It's a little odd that anyone would put an "overflow" line into a pool, unless perhaps it's an indoor pool and there may be a possibility of flooding due to an absent minded owner leaving the fill water on. Even in that case, most builders will instead use a fill valve with a timer or if an automatic fill valve is used, they are adjustable to the water height you need. They work almost like a toilet tank's fill valve.\n If for some strange reason they did add some line running from the pool , to outside the pool, that is meant to equalize the height between the top of the pipe you mention and the height of the water, it will be passive equalizing. Does it on it's own.\n All you'd need to do is to add a little more pipe, using a coupling, to raise the height it's equalizing at. Measure how much higher up the skimmer you want the max water level to be and add that much pipe.\n I'd be making sure that line is actually what you think it's for first though. If you have an integrated spa on that pool, it could be the air line for it. Look around the pool walls for any unexplained openings that may be covered by a weir or just a bare opening that serves no puropse. Use a shop vac to blow down that pipe outside the lanai and have someone inside tell you if they see bubbles. Depending on the length of run, it may take upwards of 30 seconds or so to see. Unfortunately, if it does turn out to be exactly that, an overflow, you may dislodge some debris in the pipe and send it into the pool. Nothing a quick vac job can't fix.

To bank a shot. . . use the diamonds to give you direction.  This can be a 90 degree angle, or a 45 degree angle.  Simply, take your pool stick place it over the white ball, the ball you want to hit, and pick a diamond on the table for a destination. Next, you'll observe what angles are formed from this choice.  You then make a choice if the angles formed can put the little ball in a hole.\n\nHave fun, hope you sink lots of 'em.

The water level will go down when you throw the body in.  Try it in your sink.  Fill your sink with water and float a bowl (boat) in it.  Then, fill the bowl with silver wear (body and rocks) or anything more dense than water.  Mark where the water level is on the side of the sink.  Now, take the silver wear out, and put it in the water so it falls to the bottom of the sink.  You will notice that the water level went down.  When the silver was in the bowl, it displaced much more water than when it was at the bottom of the sink.  Therefore, the body will displace more water when it is inside the boat than when it falls into the water.

Hole \nThe “hole’’ must be 41/4 inches (108 mm) in diameter and at least 4 inches (101.6 mm) deep. If a lining is used, it must be sunk at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) below the putting green surface unless the nature of the soil makes it impracticable to do so; its outer diameter must not exceed 41/4 inches (108 mm).

You have 8 rungs that are nine inches apart with the last being 9 inches from the bottom of the pool so I would draw it on a piece of paper I I I I I I I I I as nine rungs and count the spaces in between the rungs (lines). I get 8 spaces of nine inches. So then 8 spaces times nine inches is 72 inches. Now we need to convert inches to feet so we divide 72 by 12 inches per foot. That works out to 6 feet. if the pool fills at 1 foot per hour then it will take 6 hours to fill the pool to the top rung. There is an algebraic approach but that isn't what they'd be looking for in 5'th grade. Teach you son to draw a image and label it when working with word problems. Its a great habit and eventually he'll learn to visualize without the paper. Cheers:0

Check out poolgearplus.com they have some pretty neat stuff there.  I just clean mine with the pump vacuum.

Practice in a pool, for a long time.  You will be accoustemed to having to push extra hard that when you do it in the air, you will go faster.

A quick test is to set it on a "level" surface. See where the bubble is and then turn the level 180 degrees. the bubble should show the same degree of level. \n\nWith a precision level there are usually multiple marks rather than just two so you should be able to see even a minor lack of levelness on a surface and that should be repeated when you turn the level 180 degrees.\n\nI do the same thing with my cheap carpenters level when I use it to be sure it isn't out of whack.

Ground yourself properly !

width of pool = 32\nwidth of fence therefore = 32 + 7 + 7 = 46\nlength of pool = 18\nlength of fence therefore = 18 + 7 + 7 = 32\n\nperimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)\np = 2(46) + 2(32)\np = 92 + 64\np = 156\n\n156 feet of fencing is needed.

The other answers are correct.  What you need is to learn HOW to solve the problem.\nWhen you have a number in yards and want it in feet, just multiply by the number of feet per yard.

Use 12" of sand. Hold it in the area by building a box with 1x12 pressure treated wood. Sink that about 8 - 10" under the ground level so the kids don't have to step up over it so far. I'd put a bumper guard on the top of the 1x12s also so that no one gets hurt by the top of the board either. Don't just go buy any old sand, make sure that you specify what you will be using it for so that you get some clean stuff. \nAll the equipment should be mounted in the dirt UNDER the sand and reinforced with concrete where/when needed. Swingsets and climbing equipment should be secured in this fashion without question.\nHope that helps

And you need to raise it 1/2" to level it?\nIf it's totally level, it won't drain very well, was it built that way on purpose, or has it settled?\nIf i read this correctly, the slab is only supported by 4 pillars?\nOne at each corner?\nIs the slab sitting on the pillars, or are the pillars bolted to the slab?\nIf it is just sitting on the pillars, you should be able to jack up the side of the slab and insert a shim between the pillar and the slab.\nIf the pillars are bolted on, you would have to detach them before jacking.\nYou would need to support the side of the slab you are lifting as much of the length as possible.\nI would use a 6-8' 4x4 or such between the jack and the slab to spread the load. Maybe a jack at 1/3 of the way from the end on that side, so 2 jacks, 2 4x4s, better support.
