Severe rust on couple Coleman bars

Found this today on the underside of the top bars. A lot more severe than I thought. Really seems like a defect in workmanship. It’s only 3 specific bars. Three others have some rust but not like this.

Yikes! That is bad.

We had to replace all of our Intex Ultra Frame steel bits (vertical and horizontal) after only 4 years. The combination of salt water and no powder coating internally did them in. The replacement bars (their new pools use the same size/profile) ordered from Intex are powder coated inside and out this time...which I'm sure they did due to all the failures.

I stayed away from salt because of corrosion concern. Didn’t matter

I ended up buying some better condition, used poles from someone for $50. Entire set. Figure 1-2 more years then the liner will be trash anyway.
