    You can use flicker, picassa, or the like to post a pic (faster) or email it to poolforum.com and reference the url of this thread.

    You'll need to walk me through it a little more than that. Don't have flicker or use picassa. Just iphoto.

    Is it a metal frame pool or an Easy-Set?
    How much deflection?
    I dished out my 15' Intex donut without trouble.

    Sorry, it's a 16' Intex, Ultra I blieve... a frame pool with vinyl sides.

    I think metal frame pools may be more at risk as the bottom could pull the frame out of plumb. I would guess that an inch or two of deflection would be OK.
