Contractor Made Over 65 Cuts Into Shell When Istalling Coping...

[Forecastle Mom]

I had a fiberglass pool installed mid summer last year. I can tell you that I learned a very hard lesson about researching manufactors and more importantly the people they allow to install their product.

One of the many issues I have had with my install, I am primarily concerned about the cuts an installer made into the shell with a saw while shaping and cutting the interlock coping around my pool. It was very hot outside and I suspect he got lazy.

The company has assured me that it is not a problem (not in writing though) but I still have yet to confirm my warranty info and have only recently gotten the serial # for my form.

I went to a pool show and talked to the competitor and all he did was shake his head out of disbelief.

There is over 60 cuts into my pool form (the lip) under a interlock coping bedded on gravel.

Can anyone tell me the ramifications of having so many cuts in my pool shell? I am looking for advice and soloutions on how to correct this in the immediate futre. I am in for a pound already..so whats another few pennies! ughhh...help!

A picture or two or three would certainly help. They might be superficial and just needing to be properly re-gelled.

Thanks for the reply Scott. I have since had a few experts (two competitors) to my home who both have given me similiar opinions about the shotty install that was done and have recomended similar solutions for me to move forward to protect my investment.
