How do I know what size liner I need for my pool?
If your above ground pool is oval, you will want to measure the length from end to end at the center of the pool, and the width in 2 or 3 spots. Then, take the average width from your measurements. Again, measure from one inside wall to the other inside wall for length and width to get the correct measurement.
What happens if your pool liner is too big?
An incorrect liner size If the installer has not measured correctly, you can end up with wrinkles in the pool liner. If the liner is too big or too deep, then there is excess material in the liner and it will fold over and wrinkle.
How do I choose a pool liner?
Select the Thickness The thickness of the liner is less important than the fit. A liner that fits properly will last much longer than a thicker liner that doesn’t. Vinyl pool liners do not fail because they are not thick enough. We recommend choosing a pool liner based on the pattern rather than the thickness.
How do you center a pool liner?
Take your liner out of the box and place it in the center of your pool. Unfold the liner and spread it along the pool floor. Pull the liner wall up toward the bead receiver. Feed the liner’s bead into the receiver, making sure the bead fits securely in the track.
How long does it take to install a pool liner?
2-3 weeks
The process of replacing a pool liner generally takes at least 2-3 weeks. Replacing your liner in the fall or spring means that you can still enjoy a full, uninterrupted swim season. Pool retailers will also generally have better deals on during these months as they are not as busy as in peak pool season.
Can you install a pool liner over an old one?
Can you put a new vinyl pool liner over an old one? We do not recommend that you leave your old pool liner in your above ground swimming pool when replacing the liner. It may seem like an extra layer of protection, but in reality, it will create more problems for you.
