Above Ground Pools

[AgronAlum]

I know there are some folks here as trashy as me and rock the above ground pool. I’ve thrown a couple patches (from the pool store) at ours and they’ve held steady.

I just filled it up for the summer and have a leak at the seam. Any tips on sealing this thing up around a seam?

But seriously that stuff works even with pressurized system. I farmerized some damage with flexseal tape.

I’ve got half a roll of this sitting in the garage but I used it on the old pool and it started peeling after a few weeks. Hoping for something a little more permanent.

Did you make sure to really slap it on when you applied it?

It works even better if you put the water on the outside of the pool...

Oh I’m just as trashy.

I’ve used this product in a couple places in mine. Going on year 5. The seam might need redone or something but maybe you could get a big enough piece to seal it with this. This stuff is great and can be applied underwater which seems insane. Maybe put a piece on the outside and inside? Worse thing might you slow the leak down enough or something and you just put more water in every couple weeks. I mean, that’s just advice from one trashy redneck to another.

At least the mosquitoes have a nice habitat to proliferate.

I think Gorilla Tape has some patch stuff that my wife bought for one of our daughters toys that seems to have held up well last summer.
