Help please- trouble corner of Intex pool in set up

[CynRep]

Hi all - new above ground Intex pool owner - installing this weekend and have a bit of a crisis - hoping someone can advise...this is 32x16 rectangle - had been filing the pool for 28 hours when noticed three of corners look fine but 4th corner looks like it is about to pop out - I shut water off bc I am afraid it will pop and pool will collapse...think this is the corner where the white plastic insert was broken but we put it in anyway...I got they to Intex finally but the customer service rep is not familiar with pools and could only register a claim. Pics show challenge.
Any thoughts/advice? I dread thought of draining pool and starting over...
Thank you!!!

Humm... how does the vertical frame legs look compared to the other 3 corners? And how level is pool?

It is kinda jammed. Just push it out of that one side a little. I have the same pool. The corners are meant to move. They are what allow the rectangle to give with the water a little. One of my corners is actually gone. I noticed a couple of weeks ago, no idea where it went. It’s no where to be seen. Doesn’t seem to phase it. I’m not overly worried since I’m hoping to upgrade next year.

Lol, how on earth did you lose a corner?!?!

no clue! It absolutely vanished though. All I can think of is it fell out & a dog or something picked it up, but even that doesn’t really seem possible. Last week, I went to leave for work & there was a yellow push mower in my yard. Called my lawn guy to see if maybe he’d forgot his, nope. Got home from work that evening & it was gone.

I have the exact same issue. I didn't notice the corner was binding and now the pool is 3/4 full and I can't move it. Did

I have the exact same issue. I didn't notice the corner was binding until the pool was 3/4 full. Did you drain it or did it fix itself when the pool was full?

I am encountering this issue right now! LOL It looks as though that side of the pool is off by about an inch. Guess I'm gonna have to drain and restart.
