Side Wall Tearing

by Mat

I was just wondering if it may be possible to repair an above ground pool side wall that buckled and when straightened it split the side wall about 3cm long.

Should the whole wall be replaced or being a welder by trade can I weld a patch over it?

Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Mat


Hi Mat. The method described on this page might work well for you.

Another method is described on this page.

Tears and holes in the sidewalls can usually be repaired using one of these methods. I am not at all sure about the welding since I am not a welder. I would think the wall would be to thin to weld. I have used nuts and bolts in the past and know they hold just fine, so that would be my choice. I have seen rivets used also, but in a situation where I did not feel the usual metal and duck tape patch was strong enough, I would use nuts and bolts.
