    How Clear is TFP Clear? Let's See (Pics Only Please).

    I had planned on adding a catwalk in my original plans but in my excitement to get water in this thing & the fact that it has been in the 90s I had decided on building them as the water was filling or after depending on the way I felt the day it was time to add the water but given jc133 &...

    I absolutely appreciate your concern & I had the same concern when I drew it up & still do. I am hoping that the heavier steel & the 20" OC uprights welded 100% are enough, the bar top I am adding today will also add a lot of strength to the upper portion of the wall since it will act as a truss...

    Thanks for the input, I have been looking at several manufactured rectangular pools & noticed they all had straps across the bottom so I am putting 2 more straps across the short side & 2 long ways made from building tie down material that apparently is a good replacement for the factory straps...

    Receiver track installed & screws/seams taped up. I started out with the plan of using a full strip of tape on the screws between each seam & thought that tape is $15.97 a roll no reason to waste it, after tearing about 20 small squares of Gorilla tape with cuts on my fingers I thought that tape...
