Our PB drilled the safety rope anchors in wrong spot- way too far into shallow end:( What is best method to fill the drilled hole in steel panel when he moves them to correct location?
 
What is the status of your build? Is the liner in?

Show us pics of the problem area.

How does your PB say he will cover the hole?

Do you really need them? I never used mine once not even to test them.
We had zero use for them as well as both kids were legit fish by week 3. Even the little who couldn't touch at the time. But they got used MANY times as friends kept having kids once we were done. I had littles visiting for years longer than I should have and it gave both them *and* their parents an easily identifiable barrier to keep them free of the slope. If the kids got a little close, a quick reminder to back up from the ropes was a relief for all. Myself included.

How big are the holes? My first thought is aluminum tape, and maybe bit of sheet metal if the hole is large.

As a kid, I hated the rope ... always wanted to play on it, and always got yelled at! Do not have one in my pool.

Thanks for your replies! We just put liner in today. The builder sprayed the holes with a rustoleum zinc spray to help prevent rust and covered with plastic and tape.
