Hanging a rectangular Intex Ultra Frame Pool directly from the pool deck

[Charlie_R]

Jonas, Sorry to see this setback.

Don't toss the liner! Save it for repair pieces if something similar happens again. Glue is fairly inexpensive compared to a complete liner.

I'm certain you would be able to think of a way to reinforce the next liner with pieces from this one, now that you know of one of the failure modes. Perhaps a 200mm wide band 2/3 up from the base all the way around the new liner? 500mm wide corner doublers? Just a couple of ideas....

I would like to try it again. But wife say NO. So I will probably use the metal frame and do another try when it's corroded ;-)

It also looks like I put the pool walls a little to high. The pool will hang lower on round top rail. I used square and should have hanged it maby 1/4" lower to gett the same hight for liner.

I have been following as well and have to say I agree with your wife. Get it up and swim. It will look great with your deck. Just watch your head under there��

Jonas:

Get a new liner and install it under the deck with the metal collar and supports. It will look great and last much longer than you think. Be happy it failed when it did and you didn't have 6 or 7 times the water.

Thats what I was thinking too, just get the correct frame for it now that you have a deck built.

So sorry to see this. Hang there, you'll figure it out!!

Jonas,
I always have leaned more from projects that didn't work out 100% to plan then I did from the projects that did! I have been following your build, it looks GREAT. Keep your head up, smile. Keep going on this pool !!!!!!!

The pool was fully filled for 5min. I tried to reinforce it. But I broke to fast. I would love to try again. Hanging the pool 1/4" lower than the first time.

I also talked to a builder yesterday and he said that the shortside just has to little material. He said I need to use a beam of metal or laminated wood beams for it to hold.

It was realy hard to locate a new liner. I tried blocket as suggested but no response. finally i found a company in Italy with one left. Så hopefully i dont need to wait to long for it to arrive

Reinforcing the deck or dropping it by 1/4" will make little difference. The connections in the deck or the deck itself, will fail at some point. And the failure occurred with just a static force applied. The dynamic force will be significantly greater. The pool as designed uses the mass of the water itself to keep the pool structure together. Build the pool as designed and hide it under the deck.

I thought your screws holding the hanging board look rather small for the task at hand.

 

[Jonas Åhgren]

4 inch screws. Three in each pool liner hole. So totally 24 on the short side.

We built our deck as we did our pool. Listen to gwegan. It will fail again sooner or later. You have tremendous creative abilities. Direct them towards a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, water feature, anything. An injured child in a rigged pool = lawsuit.

 

[Jonas Åhgren]

True true.

I will use the metal frame. It was the rotational force that killed it

Your diagram is right on. The mass of the water is pulling the wood facial board outwards. No matter how many screws it will eventually fail. The top cord will distribute those forces around the pool.

Sorry it didn't work out, it was an interesting experiment. I just completed my build with the same pool. I used the standard construction and then built the deck around it. You have the concrete slab and the deck structure. You should be able to reuse most of it with just minor mods. Good luck!

looks like a miljon dollars ;-)
