What is needed to prepare a site for the pool?

A flat, solid level, stable surface is needed and all sharp objects must be removed from the area. A ground cloth or tarp should be placed under the pool prior to setting it up. Also, the pool location must allow you to secure all doors and windows and safety barriers to prevent unauthorized, unintentional, or unsupervised pool entry. The pool requires at least 4 feet of space all the way around from objects that a child could climb to gain access to the pool.
