How do you fix the walls of an inground 18 by 36 pool with wood walls that are bowing in a few inches because the pool installer said the only way was to tear it out and put in a new pool?

To fix bowing wood walls in an inground pool without tearing it out, consider reinforcing the existing structure with braces or supports, such as pressure-treated lumber or steel posts, to provide additional stability. You can also excavate around the affected area, ensuring the soil is compacted and properly graded to relieve pressure on the walls. If the damage is extensive, consult a professional for potential corrective measures, as they may have experience with similar repairs. However, keep in mind that long-term structural integrity may still be at risk with temporary fixes.
