Metal Wall Bending
My husband and I installed a 21' above ground pool. The pool is up and filled with water. Near two of the support posts the metal wall is bending. I was in the pool trying to push the coving and wall out but this did not help. We are afraid there is too much stress on the wall or supports and the pool will fall.
What can we do? Why did this happen? |

Bending in or bending out? There is a track on the ground and a top rail above the water line. If your wall was in both the track and rail this could not happen. If the wall is out of the you m ust drain the pool, remove the liner and correct the error. If I have not described your situiation tell me more.

Thanks for the help! |

No it is not particularly safe. That lower track was designed to hold a great deal of pressure exerted by the water. I don't know why it came out of the track but it apparently has. Do you see any liner trying to squeeze out at the bottom? If so you will have a total failure and drain when the liner bursts today, tomorrow or next year, who knows when.
