Re: Now what!? Fixed the holes, pool collapsed!
Yeah me either!!! Again....Originally Posted by Cal_Newbie
So sorry it's taken this long to get back on the thread. Quite honestly, I was just so sick from what happened and afraid of how expensive the fix might be! We just used tax return for some other things needing done on the house before this happened so now we're stuck fixing this as economically as possible! (of course - who doesn't want to right?!)
The upright rails are still standing - the sides just pulled out of the top rails nearly entirely. The top rails are even still attached. We have been able to straighten up the walls - the creases aren't so severe that it damaged them I don't think. I believe when we get water into it, it will finish straightening them.
We want to try to get a new liner, because I agree - I think it shrunk up and pulled the sides down. We were looking at the beaded ones since they look to be easier to install correctly. Is that right? With just the two of us (and one teenage kid) it's going to be tough to put this thing back up (unless I can sprout a few more hands soon!)
I really appreciate the help and kind words. It really does make me sick that the pool has been such an expensive thing to learn how to manage, but I love it anyway. I was excited that I now knew how to care for it with regular bleach and such after spending so much at the pool store in the beginning last year, now this. Such is life, right!
OH, additionally, if anyone has advice on where to get a liner, type (beaded/overlap - gauge) and how do I make sure the cove is okay (that it's not washed away too much) I'd appreciate it. Right now we have a 24' x 48" overlap, sand bottom and cove.
