Just center the pool between the support posts. You should have close to 3' of clearance between the support post and the two closest edges of the pool. The Intex pool actual measurements when filled are less than the stated size anyways, so you should have even more room.

Or go to Academy Sports and buy the 10' pool for $49.99

Thanks for the recommendation of Academy- I had never heard of them (not in my state) but they have free shipping too.
I wanted a bigger pool to get deeper- the 10ft only comes in 30" deep which is only 24" of water.

Decisions, decisions. Grandkids are 6 & 8 so maybe I will start with the smaller pool.

Thanks!

Is this a soft sided pool? If so, be careful that you don't have creatures that visit during the night. My friend's soft sided Intex lasted one night. Either a raccoon or armidilla clawed huge holes into theirs.
