Hi guys,
Looking for advice on how to lift my sinking posts. We're coming close to the end of our season up here (Northern Ontario - Canada) and I'd like to fix this once the pool is drained for the winter. The type of pool is Atlantic - its an 18x33' I'm guessing I need to dig down to the bottom of the post and jack it but I'm thinking I can't do it the same way the Intex guys can because I doubt the coping would have the same kind of strength that those pools do? My current plan is to dig down UNDER the buttress and jack from there. Still not exactly sure how I can be jacking it while also back-filling it or putting an additional patio stone underneath with the jack support a post. Any thoughts?
Sorry for the sideways pics - not sure why they rotate on upload.
