I have a 7 inch metal top rail on an oval agp that is getting used as a launching pad for kids diving into the pool at times. Sometimes adults that have had a few too many use the rail as well. I find ten year olds and drunk 40 year olds have about the same ability to follow instructions.
Any suggestions on reinforcing the rail to be able to handle the abuse? I am not going to condone people doing it, but I hate to keep bending the top rail back into shape and worry that it may damage the wall as well eventually. there are only three sections on the end of the pool that need reinforced as the deck is only on one end of the pool. I think I can pull the top rail and place a piece of wood under it to strengthen it, but haven't taken it apart to see the details yet. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. --mark
