Luckily we had a friend on hand who helped us level the ground beforehand. The only real problem we had was that it went green very quickly,like in 2-3 days. We kept having to empty it and refill it from the well,which was a bit of a faff,and always initially very cold !! And the growth of the 'plants' around the outlet hole was truly amazing... 4.5 metres...Nice size. Good luck with it,it is so lovely to have a pool to splash around in....
