I am taking down this pool and will be putting a hot tub in this same location on my screen porch, instead. I have drained out almost all of the water and plan to let the remainder just spill out onto my porch when the pool comes down. With great effort, I was able to detach one horizontal pole and one side support. When I could not detach any others, I then tried what the iPool website recommends, WD40 and a rubber mallet. I had previously tried silicone spray on the ones I couldn't remove. Still cannot do it. Some of the push-in pins won't even push in at all and those that do easily push in pop right back out while I am trying to pull the poles apart. This is much too strenuous for me and I am not going to try anymore. I am going to have to hire help. Wondering who would be best to hire and what they can do. Certainly, two people (not including me) would be more likely to be able to do this than one. I have seen some of the posts of what others have tried. I want to sell the pool, but I am afraid that the poles might have to be sawed apart and all that will be left is the liner, if it can even be gotten off.
As an afterthought: I have had this pool advertised for about 2 weeks in many places online, but I had no inquiries, whatsoever, until I brought it down to a ridiculously low price, and of those, still no one has decided to buy it. I am thinking that whatever I will have to pay to hire help to take it down, which I cannot afford, to begin with, might be more than what I am currently asking for the pool. But, even if I were to just discard it, I would not even be able to get it out through the narrow door in its present state. It just occurred to me that I might do best by just advertising it as free to whoever can dismantle it. I also have the ladder and the cartridge filter pump, but those I would still sell. Any advice?
