Pool Wall has Dents

Hello, We have a 24 foot by 52 inch above ground pool that was given to us. We replaced the liner and added Pool Cove, Liner Foam Insulator and a Gorilla Liner Pad.

Our Pool Wall has some dents in it and we are concerned about it's ability to hold up when the pool is full. We got these dents from unrolling the Pool Wall etc. The Pool is about 5 years old. What do you suggest? Thanks



Hi. Dents in the walls of above ground pool can be easily removed by using a rubber mallet and a piece of lumber. Once they are pounded out the wall should be just fine.

Here is an example of just what a wall can go through and still be usable. On many occasions over the years we have gone out on jobs where the pool was set in the ground, for some reason the water drained out, and the pool walls completely collapsed. So here is a pool where the wall is laying down and covered with dirt. They don't just lay down flat, they get pretty mangled up in the process.

To fix the pool we first start digging. We dig the dirt off the pool and then dig the dirt back away from the pool so we have room to re-set it. Then all the pool parts come out of the hole. It gets re-leveled and the pool gets re-installed. But we now have a wall the is so mangled it won't even roll up, let alone go back into a bottom track the way it should.

The wall gets drug out of the hole and laid out on concrete. We then start working it flat again, by walking on it and pounding on it. Little by little we get the wall flat enough to roll back up the way it should. It then gets put back into the hole and installed back into the bottom track.

I've never had a problem with a wall that has been through a major war, put back into shape, and re-used.
