    What Could Have Caused This?

    I have 3 concerns: 1. I'm concerned that the concrete underneath will prematurely rub/wear on the liner. 2. Having sand under the liner gives the floor and sides of the pool a soft, cushiony feel. But in this area, it's hard around the post and feels unsupported in the indentation area around...

    What do you mean by "they don't really touch the boards?" I don't understand the building process.

    What Could Have Caused This?

    The posts were covered by the dirt/sand. I know they poured concrete inside those cardboard tubes. Attached are a picture of the old post coming out, and the sand/dirt layer before they installed the liner and added water.

    What Could Have Caused This?

    I recently had my vinyl liner replaced, had a wall rebuilt and 3-4 posts due to water damage. It's been 6 weeks post-completion. And looking at the pool today, I see the outline of one of the posts and indentation around it. What could have caused this? I think the dirt/sand was not compacted...

    Length of floor at varying depths

    I'm having a14x32, 4' to 7' deep vinyl pool built, and am concerned about having "enough" space in the shallow end. Currently, my shallow floor is 9', but may be able to increase to 11'. Can anyone with a similar-sized pool (+/-4 feet or so) please tell me how long your shallow end is and...

    Need Advice on how to handle pool depth issue on a new pool

    That's what I'm trying to decide - is it worth the battle?! The contract was signed before they provided me the cross-section via email. They only sent it to me because I was concerned about how long each depth would be. I don't know at what point they knew that the City required the 2...

    Need Advice on how to handle pool depth issue on a new pool

    We are in the process of having an islander vinyl pool installed (18" are above ground). From the beginning, I have been concerned about the pool depth across the pool. It is a 14 x 32 rectangle, 4' to 7' deep pool. I asked the PB to send me a cross-section of the pool, showing how long each...
