Hello,

This is my first post and I am wondering if anyone has had this problem after a storm one of my U shaped legs buckled near the top. What should I do?

Welcome to TFP! :wave: I'm trying to understand how a storm could do that. Winds' pushing the water to one side? :scratch: In any case, I don't think there's much you can do with the pool full. That point is weak, so even if you could straighten it out, it wouldn't be strong. Perhaps see if you can order a new leg and replace it at closing or when you open next year? Let's see if any metal-savvy members have any other ideas.

Pool Care Basics
 
If it cant be replaced until closing I would be strapping a metal or timber brace to it until it can be replaced.
 
Thank you both, I am still under warranty so they think maybe faulty leg or something about the seat that’s over the leg made it weak with winds? I’m really not sure how this happened. Regardless, we are going to tear down and pour a concrete pad so this never happens again. Thinking maybe we had some dirt shift under the pool during the storm or something.
