The only danger here is if the wall comes apart at where you bolted it(not likely) or if you didn’t connect the buttress straps together. I just purchased the Intex 32x16x52 Pool and experiencing the same sagging on the sides. Anyone else have this issue??? This causes it to begin to seep from under the pool and prevents the stability that the fiberglass pool needs. At the time we didn't know that is was suppose to do that, so we emptied the pool. You should not put any water in this pool until doing this! But the sides kept bowing and even with the pool almost full the sides would not straighten so we had to let water out and put 3 stakes in the ground on each long side and tie them to it to make it straight. I'm not sure what is causing this the water is level in the pool. When measured “north to south” it’s 24’1″. OK, getting the ground under this thing within an inch of level is imperative. It doesn’t matter where it is sitting. You have to do whatever it takes to be able to bolt the wall together. This will shorten the track. Hi, I have recently set up an Intex 10' x20' rectangular metal frame pool with a vinyl liner on my backyard, (concrete surface) and started pooring water into it, I am almost half way and have noticed that the side walls (20') are starting to curve towards the inside of the pool so I stopped filling more water into it. Back in the eighties when I started building these things, most of our pools were built out of shape. What to do? We had fairly level ground to start with and did a 2" sand base - everything level throughout to within 1/2" (using Stanley Cibix Cross style Laser level at night). I believe it is also poorly designed.
This will lengthen the track. Is this something that will resolve as the water level rises? The side leaning is also out of the Any help would be great.I am building a 15 foot round. The stabilzer bars are all in and spaced fairly well. After watching a few YouTube Videos and various other resources for "bowing pool sides", we had concerns initially. The ground is level as we had this professionally done.
Also It is completely put together with top rails on♀️You are probably ok based on what you say here. Do we have to take the whole pool down?Howdy! Now I notice on one side the bottom rail has lifted up off the cement about 3/4″, and we can see the liner underneath. When full still has bowed sides, I came to the conclusion the liner is already stretched to it maximum .when we out erected all new parts and put the legs out full at the bottom... as the liner is already been strentched the legs could not spread any more hence the top is bowed inwards when full,, so going to empty pool again and leave legs in a bit of slack at the botton (lose) and hold top rail straight, and let water put legs where they want to be.
We started filling it last night. Make it round this time. Buy Bestway or Intex Swimming Pools South Africa.
The bottom track keeps sliding out in a couple spots while we were putting the wall up. It’s flush against the wall except for about 3′. Bestway. As a guy who has built thousands of above grounds and seen thousands that were built by novices, I’d say it’s best if neither of these extreme do-it-yourselfers attempt to build one. Also on another section of the pool the wall is buckled. Waiting for it to fill up took a day and a half.

Raising the wall too high without raising the rest of the bottom may give you coving issues. It’s level, wall met up and joined well.
The pool is level and it makes me nervous when the kids are in playing. I put the liner in but was not careful enough to get in the very centre (and/or it is not perfectly round). Thoughts?! We had a couple of wrinkles in the side of the original liner.
You’ll have to get the styrofoam out of the way so cut about a foot of it out around the perimeter so you have room for the wall to move.
Don’t let that bottom round seam bug you. any suggestions?Hi and yes. Are these pools sometimes smaller than the diameter as specified? The result is the track can easily become a shape other than what it is supposed to be.The other way a pool gets built out of shape is not a result of a lack of building ability, but because the pool is not precise.

We are just putting up a intex 32' x 16' ultra frame rectangular pool.
Wanted to see if this were normal.
All bottom rails are butted up to each other in joined plates so track cannot shrink anymore. The pool is in a hole so canât adjust legs after or as I gradually fill pool.
Is the pool in the ground at all? as it stands now we are going to build concrete pillars along the pool sides to brace the whole frame, i cannot help but think the larger pools may not be suitable as the stand alone frame that is supplied.
When first filling the pool we had significant bowing, but as the water level went up, the sides started to "square-up". A lot of them are.So about those vertical supports… I’ve gotten my 18′ 52″ pool up (with the help of a small army) and started filling it up.
