This was awesome bro. Subbed

[@mateostabio]

Eyyy!! I appreciate it!

[@lastzeen]

Thank you very much for this video, Mateo. Our pool deck walkway is sinking in a similar manner. Have been trying to figure out how to fix it. I'm pretty sure if we hire somebody to poly-jack or mud-jack, they'd charge a fortune. Your method, on the other hand, is something we can do and afford. As you raised the walkway, did you experience any cracking along the inner edges where the walk meets the pool tiles? Ours looks like rubber sealant and not grout. I am hoping it will simply flex a bit as the angle changes. Again, many thanks!

[@mateostabio]

Glad this video helped! The inner edges just straightened up as I jacked the pool up. My pool has a liner with a plastic edge as coping.

good to know that the spray foams are actually different when it comes to load bearing! lol who knew! lol... and what was the sponsor? I think it got skipped? idk.

[@mateostabio]

There is no sponsor lol. Just a mouse showing up under my legs lol. Thanks for watching!

[@kenschmidt6522]

The foam designed for setting fence posts might be a good option.

[@mateostabio]

I never tried those foam bags. I guess it would be similar to the big tanks I used. It mixes part A and part B right before you pour it into the post hole

[@SingingHardings]

How would you get it far enough under?

[@kenschmidt6522]

@@SingingHardings good point

[@geotubeocho]

Cool, whats the pool size?

[@mateostabio]

I have another video about designing it and I go in detail on measurements all around my yard if you’re interested. The pool size is 14’x28’

[@thenickrodriquez]

What was the foam in the boxes you used?

[@mateostabio]

That was the expensive spray foam you can find at your local big box store. Its like a froth pak

[@mateostabio]

In one tank its Part A and in the other one, it’s part B. The foam that cures is a lot harder than the little cans

[@thenickrodriquez]

@@mateostabio do you happen to know the brand?

[@thenickrodriquez]

@@mateostabio thanks! Last question, was it the 200 or 210? Green or red box?
