It's coming along nicely this time. Fingers crossed for you that it all works out. You've put so much time and thought into this that it almost has to now!
Hanging a rectangular Intex Ultra Frame Pool directly from the pool deck
- Thread starter Jonas Åhgren

If i would do it again I would build wooden walls with a 10 degree angle inwards. Then I would have been supersolid.
Looking at the underside of the deck, just as a precaution. I would take some of the sidewall from the failed pool and wrap those support posts with it. I'd be worried that with any movement in the pool, the sides rubbing up against that wood could cause small leaks at some point. Wrapping the posts would just give an extra layer between the wood and the pool. 
Beautiful looking pool so far, and it must have taken a lot of effort. I hope it does hold.
Edit: Sorry, I read what I thought was the last post of the thread, but I see a lot of other posts succeed it, which I've not read, so I don't yet know how accurate my statement is.

Hey now! Some of us in the snow belt can handle the cold temps!
Wow, looks great Jonas!! You should be extremely proud of your build.
Time to change your sig.

If I would do a new build I would build the wooden frame like this instead. Also with a board supporting the poolside.
I have drained the pool and rebuild accordingly my new drawings. I felt that previous construction had to much stress. Third time is a charm. I want to build something solid that can be copied by others without a problem
30 hours later and rebuild is done. Now refilling with water. I didn't put in the hard walls between legs and liner. Because I couldn't get hold of the boards, but next year maybe. The boards will be sitt lose, no screws needed, because the water will press it against the structure. Just some small shelf on the legs to make it stay up.
