Outside Pool Walls Fading

Hi Dennis,

I have a Doughboy Desert Spring pool. I have noticed over the last couple of months the walls are starting to fade, a couple of panels are almost all white. Is this normal, can I just get some regular spray paint and paint over those spots? I drained the pool a little over three years ago but have left it standing. There is some wind damage to the sides and it is off the track. I was wondering if you are still installing pools, you and your wife installed this one in 2004. Thanks, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn

Pool walls can be painted with regular spray paint, no problems there. Normally it is not too much problem to flatten out a sidewall and get it back into the bottom track.

I am not currently doing any installs but I can pass on your name to an old partner that still is, just let me know.
