But we've had a problem with bears being attracted to the water in the Intex Inflatable pools, the bear would come at night every so often and push on the sides letting out the water.Would a bear be able to bend a steel frame before I go and spend money?
depends on the steel thickness and positioning. frm your question I'm guessing you're not really well versed in steel framing or use... im guessing whatever you build, a bear can destroy. if i was to build it not even 100 bears can destroy it. it doesn't require much steel, it's just about bracing the positing of steel and some design.
depends how thick the steel is. Looking at it, I would say yes. Not the frame pieces, but just the walls of the pool.
