I recently purchased a used pool that has been put up and taken down more than a time or two. As a result, a lot of the screw holes are not in very good shape where the upright attaches to the bottom plate.. see pictures. Any ideas on how to make these usable? I’ve used jb weld and filled the hole and think that would hold but after I did that I had no idea where the hole was supposed to be. Looking for any help or advice to avoid ordering all new uprights at $80 a pop. Thanks!

That 1st one is no good - maybe making & attaching a reinforcement plate would work ? Are they aluminum or steel?
The second one just looks wallowed out & like u could use an appropriate sized washer there. Be sure to use stainless steel screws, washers etc.

The uprights are all plastic and my base plates are aluminum. Can you explain the reinforcement plate you were talking about? Or have pictures? Thank you for the response.

I just meant to make your own by cutting a piece of stainless steel or aluminum plate.
