Thanks. Re: Above Ground Pool Collapse

Thanks. That makes sense.

I will need to find out if they waited untill next day, or did not follow
guidelines to be sure liner is sitting on edge of bottom as water fills in.
I recall that initially you need to be in pool making sure liner is tucked
in as water level builds up and applies pressure.
