I thought I'd share my garden project.

I took my 18ft x 9ft over ground pool and sunk in in the ground on the lawn.

It took me about a month to do on and off with whatever time I could grab and of course the good ol British weather.

I hired a mini digger to dig the hole just under 3ft deep. Laid hard-core for the base, tampered that down then laid 4ft x 6ft rubber stable mats on top.

I dropped the pool in then built my wooden frame.

I haven't put handrails around the platform as next year I'm hoping to put a roof over the top so I can put solar panels on it to heat the pool.

Just got to hope for some sunshine now .
