Question about space between liner and poles?

[texas234]

Hi. New pool owner. Just put up 14x42 Intex Prism Pool. Worked all weekend to make sure level. Not that pool is up and full some of poles have space between pool liner and poles while some don’t. (Meaning the liner is right up again the pole and some poles have enough space I can easily slide my hand through. Guessing this means it isn’t 100% level? Or is there a difference is pressure/space between the poles and liners sometimes?
Hope this question makes sense— Thanks!

Hey Texas. If you can get some pics it will help those who know, Well .... know. Turn off HDR and use slightly lower resolution for easier uploads and people will be around to weigh in. Good luck.

It could be that the liner wasn't perfectly centered when water was first added. Once there's water in it, the liner won't self-center.
As for checking level, if you look across the top rails of the pool from one side to the other you can see if the pool is level or not all the way around.

I will try and upload 3 pictures. I am putting my hand by the frame so you can see one pole is tight and right on the liner and another one has a lot more space between it.

are the poles plumb? can you post a couple of shots from further away? if the water is pretty even from the top you are probably OK, my legs are all over the place, though none are actually standing totally free of the liner. some are leaning and some are very straight. I think I will do better next time. LOL
