Hello I was wondering if anyone in the north had left their ultra frame intex up all winter? I was thinking about doing this but I wondered if there were any issues in doing so?
thanks in advance

Intex ultra fram up all winter?
- Thread starter Twenty 3
- Start date
We live in windy Kansas - south of you but still cold. We have the Intex rectangle pool (16x32) and left if up last winter (first year with this pool). We had a cold but no measureable snow winter. We followed the winterizing instructions for an above ground found on the site.
Our only issue was the wind picked up the cover and basically tore it to shreads - leaving part in the pool. Because the pool was exposed I opened the pool in April and spent the month of April getting all the dirt and leaves cleaned out. By May we had a sparklie pool.
This winter we are taking it down due to a section of legs that have sunk. But next winter we plan on leaving it up and hopefully getting a solution to the wind ripping the cover off the pool.

My neighbor has the non-ultra intex metal frame that he has left up for 3 winters (I think ours are generally worse then yours) with no apparent problems.
