Hi All,
My son and I finally got all of the pads dug, tamped and level to each other and the ground. It is finally time to tilt this thing back up!
While removing the U shaped braces from the vinyl sleeve that connects to the strap on the pool, I have found 2 that are distorted (pic of one below).
I cannot find a replacement part anywhere. This is tubular steel, and light gauge at that. How bad would it be to cut this brace open, insert a correctly-shaped piece of wood to help while I “persuade” it back into shape and rejoin, leaving the wood inside for strength?
I know the wood will eventually rot, but I could choose pressure treated material, and doing such a procedure would buy me some time to find a replacement.
Thoughts?
David
