Well, I have talked to a few pool people here locally, and I am getting some of the same responses, some not. I am being told to open the baby up, and set it at least in the area I am looking for. As I stated before, it is rolled up, and there isn't any corrosion on the wall at all. It has a painted side, that looks like wood (if that helps) and the inside is a lite gray colour.
Anyway, my adversion to opening it up, was putting it back together, don't want it in the way of yard work, animals etc.
But, the neighbor who gave it up said he would help.
I am also being told I could parially bury the pool to help stabalize it since I do not have any of the side rails, and would probably have to build the top rails for it anyway. I plan on building a deck anyway, so this would work. Looking at the damage to the seam, I believe someone put it together before, and didn't do it correctly, it has a few "holes" and tears, where it looks like someone tore it apart to get it apart. I agree, a press brake would do it, however, I don't know anyone around here that would do it. I have a circular saw with a metal blade...
anway, I am looking to open it up this weekend, and see how big it is... how exact are the dimensions on a liner,, what type should I look for, were should I, etc.
as far as the shape, it is rolled up in a circle, and I am told it is a round pool, the ovals don't roll up like this.
Again, thanks for all of the input... will get it down.
PS, I do have experience with AGP, just not building one. Maintained one for a while, without troubles... to me, easier then IG.
