Ripped liner, walls creased from ice?

[SunnyOptimism]

All of the uprights are fine, no damage to them. I wasn't sure how much of a part structurally the walls play.

Well it's good to hear that the uprights are solid. I find it hard to believe that the walls would be load-bearing in any way but I just don't know how AG pools work as there are so many different varieties. You should wait until another AG pool owner can chime in. Any info on the make & model of the AG pool would help. Have you considered calling the manufacturer or installer to ask them for an opinion?

Good luck.

Hi, the damage does not look too bad, but I would fix it before installing a new liner. Since you are installing a new liner I would use a rubber mallet and small piece of 2 x 4 to flatten out the wall. I would then use a laser level to check the level at every upright, make them all the same. The ground froze and raised up causing the wall to crease, you need to fix that. A crease at the bottom causes the wall to be short at the top, causing problems with staying in the top connectors.

Anyway, before installing a new liner, make the pool look like new.
