We purhased a 12 foot diameter inflatable pool for my daughter. I want to have it elevated if possible, to give the grass some chance of living. My first idea was wood pallets with a plywood topcover. Most pallets are 36" so I would have 3 to a side and on in the middle. Then plywood screwed down over joining all the pallets. Maybe some 1 by 2 trim and some nice white primer to lessen the white trash look. (not meth white trash but lower middle income white trash) I figure this would be much cheaper than than concrete stands with 4 by 4 or 4 by 6 or whatever size I would need. The pool has a 1700 gallon capacity. Would the pallet/plywood platform hold the weight? Any ideas plans recommendations? Thanks. |
Yep, w/o light the grass is gone. My neighbor moves his trampoline every few weeks and the grass under that is getting yellow. The tramp sits 3 feet off the ground and allows some light and water to reach the grass. With the pool... You might as well be growing grass in the basement w/o the advantage of grow lights.  Kent |
