Water weight made the metals from the middle to start bending towards the inside. Not recommended! Tried returning it to the store and they didn’t take it, had to call home depot customer service support. Had a really bad experience with customer service at the store but got the help I needed with customer service online.

I was scared to purchase this size pool but glad I did my kids absolutely love it and the liner is very thick very well made. I use flirted balls with the water pump and so far had no issues. My water has been clear with chlorine tablets, pump running few hours a day, and I did purchase the Hayward skimmer at Home Depot. Highly recommend. Took about 1.5 hours to install with 2 people and took about a day and a half to fill with the water hose.
