This pool shell was exposed on one side as viewed under the deck area. Is there anything wrong with this? I seem to remember something about pool shells without backfill as needing to be engineered for such an application.
Also:
The wire mesh and fiberglass mat were presumably used for forming, the mesh is now rusted, which doesn't concern me. But the exposed rusting rebar at the upper right hand side of the photo is used for bonding of the pool rebar and is concerning to me. I could envision expanding re-bar rusulting in a cracked shell?
