Well I can't see your yard through it, so there is that.
It looks like surface rust from 3 states away, and primer will only help.
How's the bottom rail ? Sometimes they catch the water running down the wall and take the worst of it.
Yeah. That was the joke that the bottom one is much better.the one you can see the yard through is the one that is high up on the wall.
Yes. You want to know now, and not later after the work has been done. The outside being clean is a good omen.I havent pulled away the sand cove to see the rail, should i do that now?
Have you pulled the rest of the liner off the wall to see what kind of shape it is in? Outside my pool wall only showed rust in a relatively small area. The inside of the wall was much worse all the way around. There is a link to the demise of my pool in my signature.
Patching the rust will probably gain you a couple more years. As part of your descision making process, look at what is directly behind that damaged section of pool wall and what could possibly be damaged if that wall gives way. 11,000 gallons of water released all at once can do some damage to your or your neighbor's property depending on proximity.
It's a tough call, but the smart one. Not necessarily because it would fail in the immediate future, but how long would it last after that ? You'd be well aware and wondering the whole time.Let the shopping begin
Amen to that! Good choiceAppreciate all the input!
Yeah I didn't want to be stressing about that pool... enough other things to stress about
You can tear the pool down & just leave the liner over the floor to prevent washing it out etc.I guess my next thread will be how to dispose of AGP.
Since the pool walls no longer matter to me sitting empty I assume best to leave up with the liner partially in it until I get an install date so nothing grows in the sand?
