I forgot to mention that we hammered the creases out of the straps and that worked like a charm.
Also, we were missing some bolts and screws and Swim-N-Play Customer Service called us back today and are shipping them out.

Apparently the guy likes to talk because in 1/2 an hour, he told me how to build our pool step by step. He was very nice though and did help with a few extraneous questions about the parts.
