Intex Pool bowing outward

[ninjajim4]

All,

Getting ready to close for the season and just noticed that this side is bowing outward. I took some pictures which I tried to capture the extent of it, which I feel I haven't completely captured and it looks worse to my eye.

All of the posts I've seen about this issue related to the legs falling off their pavers, which isn't the case here. They are all seated on the pavers. Legs don't seem to be badly positioned or unduly stressed. And water relative to the liner looks level all around.

I will mention that we've had a decent amount of rain and the water level is a few inches higher than typical.

Do I need to worry here?

Thanks in advance!

While the legs are seated on the pavers, and they are not cracked make sure the pavers have not sunk or shifted (happened to me more than once). Also make sure the legs are pulled out and the lower flap that connects the pool to the leg is taught and the leg is at an angle. It might be an optical illusion but a few of them look to be more vertical then at an angle.

Checked and none of the pavers are cracked and all flaps are taut. Hard for me to say whether the pavers have sunk or not -- not impossible. Legs are at an angle though I couldn't swear that they are the same angle. None close to actually vertical though.
