Hi
We have a 24' round above ground pool we just put in this past spring. We closed the pool according to directions but the water built up on the liner so much, the float burst and then eveything froze. I looked at it yesterday and the walls had some dents so we realeased the cover to get the pressure off the walls. The pool was only a quarter full totally frozen. I threw the hose in and there appears to be a leak in the liner (no surprise)! My question is, is any of this salvageable? I have reconciled my self to the fact that we will put in a new liner in the spring, but is the pool wall destroyed or is that gone too?

Should I put stakes in the ground and tie the walls to them so when the ice melts and leaks out the walls don't implode?

thanks
