We just had a 15x30 AG pool put in about a month and a half ago. It's made by "USA Industries" and looks like the one at the bottom of this page:
http://www.usa-industries.com/pools.html
It has six buttresses along each side that hold the walls vertical. However, I noticed that both walls starting to bow out. In the middle, the top of the wall is out about 1.5 or 2 inches as compared with the bottom. The two curved sections are fine.
The pool company said that they could fix the problem, but they want half the water drained. So, I can either wait until fall and do this, or try to fix it myself. Is it a good idea to use a few ratcheting tie-down straps to try to pull the sides together?
I noticed that the pool installers used concrete blocks under each of the vertical wall supports, but not under the buttresses. I wonder why.
