Hi,

I am new to this forum but it looks like there are tons of smart people. I saw a friends Intex 18x52 ultra frame pool and decided to buy my own 24'x52" ultra frame. I've got it assembled and about half way full, but all of the t-joints at the top of each leg looks like the top bars are pulling pretty hard on it. The plastic "button" that keeps them from separating is on an angle pretty badly, and it looks like if left, eventually will break and the top bars will start to separate from the t-joint. Kind of like someone is pulling on both of your arms, and you are just waiting for them both to pop out of the socket. Our ground is pretty level as well, within an inch or so all the way around...

Also, come to find out, my friend's was doing the same thing and he ultimately disassembled and returned his while still in the return period.

Are these pools known for doing this? I read tons of reviews before purchasing and they all were pretty raving.

Thanks in advance everyone!
