    Default Pool Walls Buckling In

    We just installed a new beaded liner to our 24' above ground pool with 48" wall. Everything was going great but when I went to check on it, I found that the pool wall is begining to buckle inward in a few places. It looks like the weight of the water is pulling down on the liner, causing it to buckle in. The liner appears to still be centered (there are no creases or wrinkles, and no excess lining anywhere) the buckling seemed to start towards the evening when the weather became cooler. Is this buckling of the walls due to the liner contracting from the cold tenperatures, and if so, will it stretch back out when heated by the sun? Will simply continuing to fill the pool be enough to lift the pools walls back up to where they belong? Please help...I have no idea what to do!!!

    I can tell you that tension caused by a cold liner will be greatly reduced on a warm day. But, I have no idea if that is the cause of your problem.
