I'm not sure where to post this. My pool is fine, my pool cage is hurting. A victim of hurricane Ian. The winds basically lifted my pool cage off the ground - and brought a section of pool pavers with it. My pool cage rests on my pool pavers. My cage was never secured to the concrete footings underneath the pavers. The pool cage was screwed only into the pavers on all three sides along the 1" x 2" bottom beams. Now I'm debating whether to tapcon the pool base to the cement footing. However my concrete footings extend only 2-1/2" - 3" out from where the screws were originally screwed into the pavers. Am I safe to replace those screws and drive a 5" tapcon that close to the edge of the concrete footing -- without cracking the cement? If I dont do something, I'm told the pool will continue to lift during strong winds. You have to better secure it - or secure it somehow to the concrete footing. Aye carumba! Thank you Ian.
