I use milk jugs filled 3/4 of the way with water and tie them all the way around the cover. This gives it tension but won't pull on the pool itself. Heavy snow will push the cover down but when it thaws, the jugs add enough tension to tighten the cover back up and drain the water off.

Water buildup on my winter pool cover has always driven me crazy. Last fall, I inflated about 15, 36" yoga balls and floated them in my pool and put the cover over those. I keep my pool completely full with a skimmer plug so it basically tents the cover. The balls for the most part allowed the...

Finished up the fix yesterday. I added gravel and paver blocks to each side support and then packed them with the dirt/sand mixture to get rid of any voids. The next step was to try and fix where the pressure plate was creating a rather sharp ridge under the liner. I used a piece of wood with...

As promised, here are some photos of the fix. I ran out of daylight so it will be finished tomorrow but this shows the progress. You can see the amount of bowing out and how much the legs leaned outward in the one photo. I drained the pool down to about a foot of water and then dug around the...

Mine bows out about approximately 1 to 2.5" in comparison to the bottom. I attached an image that kind of shows it. I still have the winter cover on and I haven't fixed it yet since Ohio is taking its time warming up. I'll be tackling this in the next few weeks though. My plan is to drain the...

I have a skimmer plug so the pool is full...and VERY cold. LOL I'm looking to tackle this in late May in the hopes that Ohio finally decides to warm up.

The other side is good but I imagine that's because the deck doesn't allow it to flex at all. When I swam, I could only feel a small hard edge on one side. I am hoping that when the pool is drained and I realign the wall that I'll be able to massage some sand onto that spot from inside. You...

Good to know on the liner...its a year old so I'm thinking of trying a different approach so as to not have to replace it. I looked in the installation manual and it appears that I can drain the pool and carefully dig on the outside of the wall and realign the wall uprights from the outside...

Thank you everyone for chiming in. I'll have to read up on how to remove the liner and reset the wall and then reinstall the liner. I'm always up for a challenge but this is a bit daunting.

Not sure exactly when it happened. I noticed it right after the install but it hasn't gotten any worse...just concerns me a bit.

The pool was installed a year ago. It's a freestanding pool without any side supports.

I have an oval pool with a deck built on one side of the pool. The other side is bowing out a little bit causing the framing to be noticeable on the pool floor. I'm guessing this needs to be addressed and if so, how? Should I brace that side of the pool or completely drain the pool and try...
