If anyone is interested in the 26' x 52" Ultra Frame, Walmart has dropped the price $200. Figures..... Anyways its a great deal and I dont regret buying it early.

Re: Cutting an Intex-type liner for new intake and return. W Oh yeah. Slip of the blade can be a costly mistake. I know cutting my $1k pool was a little intimidating. But I manned up! Did it at night.... In the dark..... LOL which I definitely don't recommend.

Re: Cutting an Intex-type liner for new intake and return. W You could have also cut the circle out on the vinyl patch before gluing it onto the pool liner. I find it makes and easier and safer cut to the liner as the knife is guided along the added patch. Just saying.

I am sorry it took so long for me to deliver on a better picture of the Massive 26' x 52" pool I have in yard. But here it is. I hope it doesn't dissapoint. It definitely is a difference from the 24'.

Well Bthorn there are a few things to consider. Set up isn't bad if the ground close to level. I put pavers because I don't take my pool down at the end of swim season.

It appears that they have Carterj92. I spoke with Intex a couple weeks back and they didn't have a whole lot of info about it or wasn't willing to give any info. But WalMart does still sale the 24' x 52" Metal Frame for $899. They no longer carry the Ulltra Frame in a 24'. Looks like they went...

Sounds like I should bite the bullet and buy sand to elevate the pool and thiswould backfill my leveled pool area and solve most of my drainage problem. Just a lot Of sand and hate even think what I'm gOing to do with it once I no longer need a Pool.... Meaning when kids are grown. Thought about...

Also I think it might actually reduce the bowing that occurs on the verticals when the pool is filled?

Question: Has anyone setup an Intex pool on 2" Paving stones allowing the vertical supports to be elevated 2" higher than the bottom of pool liner. Having trouble with drainage is one reason I would like to elevate the verticals. Secondly it would be nice to get more wall height which in turn...
