hello

i am in the process of putting in my own inground pool (i wish i hadn't decided to do this project, but i did) and the excavator dug the panel shelf walls to wide. i am putting in a 18x36 pool and he dug the pool 18ft 3 inches wide. He also dug the shelf about 7 inches too deep. As a result, I have my pool walls up in the air and hanging over the edge of the pool.

I half to pour a concrete footer (bond beam) around the entire perimeter of the pool walls but with some of them off the ground, it seems that the bond beam will just run underneath the wall panels into the pool hopper.

What can I do before pouring the footer to prevent this from happening?

Thanks

You will have to install a form to hold back the concrete, attach a board to the walls or hold it there with stakes.
