Above Ground Pool Upright Heaved Up

The upright has heaved up and caused the top rail to separated from the wall around the upright. It has separated only a couple of feet. Can I dig down underneath the cement block and bottom rail until it goes back down?




Hi JC. That would be the best way to start, to dig out around the bottom of the upright.

Do you know the reason it heaved up? That happens occasionally during the winter months when the ground freezes, but not so much any other time. When it does happen it is not usually isolated to just one upright.

I suppose if you know the reason it happened, and you are sure it won't happen again, then fixing it should be fairly easy and the pool will be as good as new again.
