Bought a pool in Costco…bigger than expected and wondering what my options are

Hi all, been looking to upgrade our 10in circular pool this year and while browsing Costco I saw a 20ft x 12ft for a very good pride. After measuring the width of the usable area on the grass was just over 12ft so it seemed perfect

Anyway…after buying it without doing the full research I should I have released I actually need 14ft due to the legs of the pool 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


Luckily it’s not that my garden is too small, it’s just that there’s paving slabs dividing it, and the 14ft size takes it over the slabs (see picture)


The obvious answer is to move the slabs over, which I suppose is doable, but has anyone had a similar situation to this? Would an option be to let it actually go over the slabs and somehow make it all level?


thanks

    Are the legs for stability or do they support the weight of the entire pool?

    If he latter I'd suggest you need some sort of firm, concrete pad, for each leg anyway so the path paving needs extra width and levelling with any new support pads
