The first time we put this together and put water in it. One of the corner joints was ready to come out so we followed the advice I had read on this forum and drained it so that we could make sure the legs were good. It looked like the legs on the pump side were straight up and down and sinking in the sand. There was slack in all the restraints. Sooooo we put all the legs on wood.. The first time the would seemed too high and the pool never “un bowed” in the middle. It appeared that not even the pressure of the water would push the sides out and the pool was almost full. We have drained the pool again, cut out the wood so that the legs were more level with the ground and now as it is filling again it looks like the sides are not going to push out again… We are exhausted… what else can we do if this doesn’t work? Are the legs supposed to ultimately be on an angle? With the restraints completely taut? Or are they supposed to go straight up and down with slack in the restraints?

Welcome! :wave: Have you filled it up to the top yet? It's my experience the water level needs to be quite high to expand the sides of the pool to where they are more plumb up & down.
