Q: How do you measure a pool?

• <div><p>The formula you&rsquo;ll use to measure your pool will differ based on the shape of your pool.

If the depth changes from one end of your pool to the other, take the average by finding the depth at the deepest and most shallow points and dividing that number by two. Circular and oval pools require different, more complicated formulas, which can be found in this article.</p></div>
