    Advice needed - replacing 5 foot retaining wall very near pool

    Thanks for you input @jimmythegreek I'm not sure what you mean by engineered and stamed? The distance from the wall to the concrete is only 2 feet. The inspector says he will not pass the wall if it doesn't have a 6ft geo grid on the top layer. The wall will be 5ft tall at most. Moving the...

    Advice needed - replacing 5 foot retaining wall very near pool

    Hello TFP! I really need some advice.

We hired a company to replace the tie wall with...

    Pool Safety Cover

    After installing a new liner this summer I broke down and decided to get a new safety cover. (20x40 GLI Value-X solid with small mesh center) Not so much for the safety aspect, more so for better looks, longer lasting, easier to install (after setting the anchors) and best of all, not having...

    Stripped Screws in Hayward Main Drain Gasket

    HELP - New liner install starting to float - Need advice

    i ended sucking most of it out with a transfer pump and hose behind the liner, but there is still some left. Hoping as the pool fills it will press it all out where ever it came in from. I think draining and redoing is too risky and might cause more problems having already put the main drain...
