Intext pool leg popped out of horizontal brace (one side)

[tinapomaha]

Hi all - had my pool full - a rectangular 16x32 intex. just noticed yesterday one side of one of the middle short side legs popped out and is being held in by the liner - it has ripped a little .

I have started draining ... my question is - how must do i need to drain to force the one side of the leg back into place? Any tips or experience to share?

here is a pic - thanks so much!!

Whoops! How on earth did that happen? Does the horizontal piece look ok? When did you originally fill the pool?

That’s a lot of weight preventing you from maneuvering. I don’t know that anyone can say “drain x amount and it will work.” I think you are just going to have to keep trying as your water level gets lower.

Having just filled my 18x9 rectangular Intex I found the inside legs were a lot later in the fill process before they held weight than the outside legs (I’ve got 4 legs per side on the long side). The short side legs held weight quite early on. I’m not sure if that helps.
