Just because the trailer can carry the material, doesn't mean it can lift it to dump it out.

Above ground pools need about a 2" base of cushion sand. A 12' round pool will need about 1 cubic yard of sand and an 18' round pool will need about 2 cubic yards. The ground should be level. The sand is used to cushion the pool, not for leveling purposes. It is always best to dig out to level your ground rather than add material.
