Inflatable spa - stand

Have bought an inflatable Lay Z spa http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=4523
It's very nice, but after putting it out on the lawn on Thursday, we had a dozen or more kids jumping in and out of it on Sunday, and it was filthy and muddy so we drained it (unfortunately there's no drainage pump, it will only drain if you can run a hosepipe from it to a lower location (obviously you can bale, or let it run out the back)).
Anyway, after three days the grass underneath when we lifted it had a horrible silage smell to it. I imagine it will kill the grass quite quickly.
So I am trying to work out a better siting strategy. I am not in the least bit DIY, but something to lift it off the grass might be a good idea. It weighs about 1500kg when inflated and is 2.86m long by 1.83m wide.
Any suggestions?
