Ideas for a pool..concrete yard that slants..

We have a concrete backyard. Last year I bought an inflatable pool, nice size for my daughter to swim in. Problem was, my yard slants. No matter where I put the pool, Id come out the next day and one side was collapsed with the water leaking out. Towards the end of the summer I bought one of those cheapie ones where the sides come up as you put the water in, that was even worse.

Any idea on an affordable (not huge) pool for an uneven yard? I was thinking hard plastic but then would imagine the force of the water would just snap it? Any ideas?

Can you build a platform that's level? If the ground is slanted, I don't think any pool will really work, unless you get a fairly big one, and just don't fill it up that much.

Every single review I have read on a portable/cheap pool REQUIRES you to have a perfectly level yard. If you have an uneven yard, forget it.

Why not just pay somebody (a mason or landscaper) to come in and re-grade an area?

Get some sand to level your yard.
