That's why we're gonna rip it apart. Luckily it's been cold and rainy lately so no one lost any time swimming here. That would've been a fucking crisis according to my wife and kid! Lol
They can still swim without a pump. As to just replacing the pump, you might not be able to. At least on mine the impeller is securely fastened to the shaft and I didn't see a way to remove it myself. Was trying to take it apart and clean the inside. Ended up just using compressor air to blow out the gunk.That's why we're gonna rip it apart. Luckily it's been cold and rainy lately so no one lost any time swimming here.

I don't own a dog.Last time my pool needed to be 'reno'd', I rolled it up, took it to the dump and bought another one from Big Lots for $110
Took about an hour to unbox it and set it up.
Probably would have been fine supported only at top but you're likely not anchored well enough at the bottom. Posts woould need to probably be at least 4ft sunk in the ground with concrete to be stable enough.I always have tons of projects going on and lot of them unfinished but my current one is adding a mostly flat solar array next to my shed, which will double as an area to store firewood. It's not the nicest thing but keeping it fairly basic. Was hoping I could get away with only bracing it at the top but it was not enough so had to bring my braces down to the bottom.
I find it looks a bit ricketty with the bracing, so I might add lattice on at least 3 sides so it looks a bit more finished. The front part is where I will go in to store the wood so want to keep it open as much as I can. Had to add that extra brace on the front but at that angle it's still a tad wobbly, but I will see how it works out once I add all the carriage bolts everywhere. Right now it's just deck screws.
I can only stand working on this in short spurts because the neighbours dogs bark at me and try to jump the fence the entire time while the owner tells it to stop, and it gets pretty annoying. It's also super hot in that part of the yard, the sun just hits different there for some reason. Maybe because of how it reflects off the white siding. Either way once those solar panels are up there I will get lot of production I think. I figure close to 1kw. The angle is not optimal but it's a compromize to have them also double as a roof, and also get sun for a longer part of the day.

Dip the ends in tar/creosote/whatever prior to dropping them into the concrete and you'd get 15+ years probably. Even just in concrete you'd probably be fine for 10. Fences last foreverYeah true if I had buried the posts it would probably be better as they would be solid on their own. Right now they are on pivot points. Downside of burying is they are more likely to rot faster but if you burn the surface apparently it helps with that.
When I rebuilt my wood retaining wall I did it all. Pressure treated posts dipped in tar based water proofing, concrete above the surrounding grade sloped to shed water, drainage behind the wall with pipe and gravel. Half the posts were rotted off within 15 years.Dip the ends in tar/creosote/whatever prior to dropping them into the concrete and you'd get 15+ years probably.

Which is why those type of post anchors came to be. Concrete in the ground with the post anchor embedded. Post bolted to the anchor above ground, supposed to be an inch or so. When done right, they should last longer and be stronger.When I rebuilt my wood retaining wall I did it all.

I'm not convinced there is a good method of planting posts in the ground.
I've installed hundreds of them, they don't work for retaining walls. The heavy two strap anchors will work for fence posts.Which is why those type of post anchors came to be.
