Hello smellykelly-ga,
I?ve found several links that give you detailed information about
setting up your above ground pool. Be sure to read the epinions
reviews by people who have set up the same model pool as you?re
planning to buy. All indications are that it is essential that you
level the ground. The soil content is not a significant issue as
compared to making sure that the ground is level.
Best wishes for summer fun.

ABOVE GROUND POOL FAQS
4. How long does it take to install a pool? How many people are needed?
Above ground pools take approximately two days to install. One full
day to complete the ground preparations and another to construct the
pool. It is recommended that you have four adults. Please note: oval
pools tend to be more labour-intensive and, depending on the style of
the pool, it may be beneficial to have a professional installer do the
job.
5. Can I install my pool directly on grass or fill?
No. You must remove all sod from your pool site. In addition, you must
erect your pool on levelled, solid, virgin soil. You cannot erect your
pool on fill.
