Good morning Neil. Having put up several above ground pools in the past I can tell you that you'll definitely be putting this one up again in the near future. I personally wouldn't let any grownups use it let alone my grandchildren. The poolneeds to be perfectly level before any water is put in it. It can't be put up on fill because the fill will settle and the pool will fail. The correct way is to pick the absolute lowest point on the outside perimeter as a starting point. Put a block there and level from there to the center of the pool. Then from that point measure over to where the next outside block goes and level it both ways from the firt block and the center of the pool and work your way around from there. The outside blocks should be even with the top of the ground. After you have the outside perimeter level then you can clear out and level the dirt in the middle. Then put your posts up and you can take sand inside with just a lit dip in the middle put your liner in and go from there. I hope that I'm not upsetting you but it really looks unsafe to me. You can check with people that do that for a living and not take my word dor it. But an above ground pool should never be put on any kind of fill. God bless and I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds. And have a wonderful day. There are several spelling errors in my comment but it's so long I'm not going to go back and fix them all but I figure you'll get my gist. 👍👍🙂
I've seen pools get holes from sharp blocks like those. Keep an eye on the edges. The sidewall moves a lot when people are swimming. On my second year of the similar pool. 👍

I have wondered about that. No offense taken. God bless you

Ya it can get really boring just running dirt but way better than being in a office
For sure.
