The best trick for removing horizontal bars in an Intex pool

The Sun heats the fabric and it softens and sticks to the horizontal bar. BEFORE you take the support posts out heat it back up by using a heat gun ( Less than ($25 on Amazon).
Grab the bar and try to move the fabric back & forth. You can tell if it's stuck. If so, it takes 2 people to do it efficiently. One person moves the heat gun back & forth for a few seconds over about 12-18" and then starts to move down, then the 2nd one twists the fabric bacK & forth and the heated area will come loose. If it dosent, heat it some more. It took me about 1/2 hour to do an 8 X 16' pool.

If you've already taken the posts out it can still be done, it's just a lot more awkward.
Good luck

Welcome to TFP.

If anyone has pics of the pool and the process it would be helpful for future readers.
