    I sent some pics to the stated e-mail, but got no response. I went ahead and added supports to the corners of the pool, using "PT" 2x4s at 45 degree angles. Will I have any problems with what I did, in the future??

    So much email comes in that it may have just gotten overlooked by accident. I'll check with Ben about it. Sorry.

    Well like I said, I am in the midst of replacing all the wooden landscaping around the pool, and added some 2x4 supports on the other side to stop the flexing. Working my way around to the side that is pictured above. This weekend I'll shoot some pics of the supports on the other side.

    Thanks for the update and pics!

    As far as I can tell from the pics, the top is pulling in and, therefore, external support won't do any good

    It's your pool and you can do whatever you want with it but, my considered opinion is that adding more bracing will simply be a 'waste' of time and energy (take a look at my previous post for the real cause of this).

    I don't see this as a serious probem, but check the things I mentioned when you next install a new liner.

    I just sent the pics from the two corners I braced in.
    If I could have sent the "video" of the walls flexing, you would see that the tops move a little outward. Since, I did these two sides, it does not flex when my daughters make alot of waves.
    Not that much of a waste of time, since I'm doing the rocks and wood around the pool over anyway, just adding a couple of 2x4s. Then I might take those wooden supports and add a triangle shapes piece around the supports and paint it white and mount a light onto it.
    Just wanted to know if the braces would cause any ill effects to pool.
    thanks for your suggestions and comments, much appreciated.
