Wall Pulling Away From Post

I am a single mom and this is my first year taking care of the pool. I notice a small section where the wall has pulled away from the column about 2 inches. Don't know if I am using the correct terminology.

Can this be hammered back into place? Do I have to drain completely?

Also there is a cable wire around the pool under the overhang. It is well under in most spots and hangs a bit in some other spots. Is this something needed for the pool? Or is it for the pool cover? When I put the cover on last year I used rope. However, I am now thinking that maybe this cable comes apart somewhere and is for the cover?

Thanks. Eileen



Hi Eileen. I would guess the cable is for the cover as there is no cable needed for an above ground pool structure. As far as the wall pulling away, I would just keep an eye on it, it's probably not a big thing.

Without knowing for sure what the problem is I would recommend not using a hammer on it.
