Need to remove first layer of deck any advice? I have othe pics, as a new user cannot upload more than one.
Hi Matthew, you should be able to post more pictures now.
The older Esther Williams pools generally do not need the deck removed to replace the liner (the EW liners have a special bead - this webpage shows the different types of liner beads available). Does your pool have the Esther Williams bead?
It does have the bead but a tree damaged the deck, i have a welder fabricator to fix it but need to bring it to him.
I’m so sorry to see the damage to your pool. Those can be tough to remove but, as long as you have access to underneath the deck, it shouldn’t be too bad. I haven’t seen one of those decks in a long time and can’t recall how they come apart…
Thanks for the input, i have a small camera (for ears) it may be the outer long rod bolt from top to bottom of pool. Going to scope it out thos weekend.
Either way, every bolt I’ve tried, has broken. They are frozen solid!
I’m sorry to hear that. Even the best penetrating oil can have a hard time loosening up a bolt that’s been installed outdoors for decades.
