Easy-Setup-Pool Tip of the Day II
There's still hope. You realize that the only truly level 12' square part of your property is your patio. And lo and behold, it's exactly 12'! To leave some room for doggers to go in/out the backdoor, you decide to setup the pool mostly on the patio, with two or three feet hanging off the edge. Cool! You'll have a pool in no time!
Repeat the steps above, this time filling the pool most of the way. Success!
That is, until the next morning.
Observe the contents of your pool slowly spilling out, and the pool deflated to about half its once-bolstered turgor. Effingham.
Realize that even those 2 feet overhanging the porch were the cause of it. "When they say level, they mean completely level." But, this is fixable.
Run to Lowe's and pick up a bunch of 50 lb. bags of sand to bolster the edge of the pool that's leaking. This will gain you an inch or two of levelness. Perfection. Refill to 2 inches below the inflated ring.

Ask a local person who is buying pool chemicals, "Do you own a real pool?" And get advice from him and his friend.
Also, fake laugh at the joke about your new 3' pool, "And no diving."
