Rusted Bottom Straps

Aug 2, 2013

I have just acquired a 16'x32' above ground pool. We just disassembled and found that the steel straps on the bottom were rusted and broken. Where can i get replacements for these? I was wondering if I could just use treated lumber for ground contact, nylon strapping, or steel cable in place of these.
What do you think?
 
Welcome to tfp, causeofhim :wave:

My first reaction is that the pool is not worth installing. What shape is the rest of it?

I may be wrong though...do you know the brand/model of the pool?

One thought is to install the pool just like one would install an oval with a deep end. When installed like that, I think the straps are not used. When using that approach, I don't think it is necessary to actually do a deep end (though I would recommend it).
