    Above ground pool wall replacement

    This is where I am running into a wall so to say lol, I have found a couple sellers but they are like $2200+ which is like half the price of an entire kit. I was hoping to find something sub 1k. My initial thought after seeing this was to just patch in some sheet metal with rivets and tape...
