Corner joint is completely out!

[liz7186]

Hi all,


I am wondering if anyone can help me, this corner joint came out completely after filling and I can’t get it to go back in. I’ve had the pool for 3 years now and never had an issue. It dosent seem to be affecting the structure of the pool at all. Can I leave it off??

Sorry this happened...do you know how it happened?

No, you cannot leave it off, it needs to be corrected, it is dangerous.

Hard to tell from the picture but looks like the leg in the picture is not fully extended "too vertical" at the base. Also are the legs sinking? This would make the legs move more vertically. Basing it as the top rail is bowing outwards increasing the distance of the corners. Hope that made sense...

As mentioned above it is dangerous to leave it this way.
You’ll need to drain some of the water (probably alot) to put it back together ensuring everything is level so it all fits properly.
It is literally a giant bag of water. Each gallon weighs approximately 8 pounds- so you do the math on how much your bag of water weighs. If it goes it will destroy whatever is in its path. Drain ASAP
