- Yes this is sketchy, I made the 'jig' out of 2x6's and a piece of plywood. It works well and I have used this method a few times to correct the level after a big rain or some settling. Hope this help you.

Nothing more satisfying than hearing a dad giving his kid directions and the kid trying to figure it out 😂. Takes me back to my childhood helping my dad. Anyways, this video helped me out, thanks!
Like when I was told to hold the flashlight
Oh my God I did this exact same thing with my pool and I realized I screwed up and I couldn’t dump out the water or else it would flood the next-door neighbours place and I was looking everywhere on UA-cam. This video helped so much thank you.
Eric C YOU ARE MY HERO NOW!!!!
This is great! Everyone else empties the pool LOL
thank you
Sketchy is an understatement. The way the jack is positioned is VERY dangerous. The concept is good but the execution is redneck. If the jack goes out of column, it will instantly and violently shoot off to the side, with a good chance of someone getting hurt; the kid having his fingers anywhere near the foot of the leg is asking for it. And if the jack dumps all of a sudden sideways, there is a good chance the leg will collapse under the impulse and possibly dump the entire pool at that point, 6000+ gallons.
The jack should not be at full extension for the lift; lifting the leg vertically with MUCH less jack extension would make it somewhat safer, but the foundation under the jack is piss poor also.
I don't want to see anyone get hurt, and most of the comments are people going 'I should do this'...
Actually, it won’t be violent. It’ll slip out but it’s not gonna shoot out the way you think it is based on how it looks in the video..
I need this now. Thank you for posting this video
My pleasure
This helped me so much! Thank you!
You are welcome
Oh wow thanks I’m going to try this out!!
You're welcome
I know this is an older video but does anyone know if this method would work to lower poles that are too high on one side? Such as lifting the pole and digging a hole out underneath to let the leg settle down into? As in pool is so unlevel on frame that liner shows several inches higher on one side than the other. Would hate to have to completely drain it now 😢 Thanks.
I think you need to raise those lower legs up rather than lowering the higher legs. My pool is the same and I think I'm going to get some paver and do this but at the same time I'm thinking about draining it to do it right
@@yolandacorona1844 Thanks, you’re right, I tried it and it didn’t help much. But also ground was so hard I couldn’t dig down enough anyway. 🥺
Level it before you fill your pool,the more work you put into making your ground level and well packed with good sand the least amount of problems you will have.Short cuts will always cost you time and money..
Well, you made it look level.... However, you still have a massive slope in the floor of the pool and now you have the force of all that water pushing on the post that is balanced on a rock. What will happen is that the liner will start to walk (or roll) toward the jacked up area causing the other side to cave in. Do not misunderstand. I did this with my pool and it is a good way to bring up one side maybe an inch or two. But you are in no way leveling anything but the top rail.
Never had an issue
@@scratchgolf Yeah but if somebody does not point out that this is not actually leveling the pool these idiots will prop it up with milk crates... lol just saying
We emptied ours and about to try and relevel the ground.
Update : We we’re able to get the ground more level. Now we are ready for some pool time ☀️ 💦
@@amyhart4032 I have this problem and I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix it. I was thinking of emptying the pool and leveling the ground but I heard the liner might crack if I empty it. Can you tell me how you did it ? Was it empty completely? We're you able to fill it up again in a day? Any advice would be appreciated
@@yolandacorona1844 So, yeah we did a complete empty and readjusted the liner just a little as needed, then refilled. We don’t have any other issues
@@yolandacorona1844 we completely emptied the pool in order to have the capability to adjust the ground as needed, then the liner. It was a full day of work bc we fought the rain, but after that it was good. We still have it up this summer too
Pinch points are a thing you know. That was nervous to watch lol.
My oval 22x12 pool I just put up has a lean towards one of the ends. My debate is wether to level it with a similar method or just drain the damn thing and return it to Costco. Disappointed either way lmao.
I'm having the same issue it's been stressful
Will this work with my 24ft hard sided round pool, is halfway filled with water and has 3 inches un level.
Did it? It should
Hi, One of my poles is off center about an inch.will the pool still hold up. I have a 15ftx33in set up.The water level stays level to the skimmer flap. It's not a hard sided pool.Thank you.
Should be fine. Or move it with this method
Very cool
You the Man!
Can I do this remove a broken leg and replace it with a new one?
Maybe, it's worth a try. Be careful.
How off was it before you put that there
This could have gone bad in so many different ways 😂
Will a 2 ton jack work?
Yes
Just used this method to fix mine! Thanks!
glad to help!
I used this specific concrete block and it snapped in half in a week lol replacing it with housing thick concrete block
What did u do just put paver blocks under
yes
I don't understand how this just doesn't tear the fabric, aren't you just taking the load that should be on the bottom of the pool and transferring it into those pipe legs?
Works great done it for years
Let's see how many golf balls you can knock in the pool blindfolded.
Love the idea!
You can tell the young blood still wet behind the ear.Next time wear boots young blood..Trial an Error.
Yeah he's still smarter than everyone. Good kid though overall.
I'm happy to see the boy helping and learning. If i could even get my son outside to help, he would be the same way....wearing slides..or Crocs... lol they have to learn the hard way. 😅
Just like we did!
Good way to get hurt
