Hello and thanks for your time. So I am a fresh new inground pool owner.. who just had his pavers installed this week along with the usual ladders and bar stands including the two upside down U shaped diving board stands cemented in (cement base done for pavers as well).. the diving board itself and the finishing, cover ups grommets for the ladder and bars will be installed in a few days.. After the masonry guys left today I was looking it all over and noticed that the two U shaped diving board stands are not completely parallel to each other. The front one is pretty much square and runs parallel to the front of the pool but the back one... the one with the bolt holes.... is off kilter about almost 3/8ths to a half inch off... It is my fear that when the board is intalled it will now not sit properly on the front bar with the fulcrum pad. and possibly be dangerous, not to mention the board will not look right in relation to its placement on the stand maybe i wont notice it when its all said and done?... I have spent over 40000 so far with this pool, and will still owe a few thousand more at contracts end. Is there acceptable error??? Is there somehitng I am not seeing? are the holes in the tube not square? am I being too critical? I Just noticed this all today and still have not talked to the pool company or their masonry guys yet.... will it be ok? or do I need to make a stink? and have them redo the stands aka taking out and redoing the stands via jackhammering and new cement work... ugh...... I can live with it as long as its not a danger, and maybe I will get them to knock off something? or just get it fixed from them... any and all oppinions much appreciated commercial and residential.

Looks like the holes in the pipe are shifted about the same as the larger pipe mounting hole, so maybe it’ll look fine when the board is installed.
