While trying to find a trustworthy store, I noticed that many of them boast about having a 70,000 sqft warehouse, and all use the same checkout system. I eventually figured out that most of these sites are just dropshipping via instantonlinepoolstore.com (also known as Under The Sun...

Alright so it looks like I need to figure out what type of liner I need, and I'm good to go! What do you guys think?

Alright, I took a few more, and have a few more questions before tackling this myself. According to the pool store, I would have to send a piece of the liner, which contains the hole, to the manufacturer (Aqua Leader), who would refund 50% of the MSRP if approved. If you ever dealt with liner...

What about the pool liner 'lock', do I need to replace that? The pool store suggested this, and found this notice on the manufacturer's website of the liner: I currently have the Unibead liner, but not sure if I have 26 or 40 (guessing this refers to the mil value?).

Thanks guys. I didn't think I could recover the liner, but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss some obvious fix. Can the liner be repurposed for any other project-around-the-house, or should I just trash it? It does look like the damage happened at the seem (will confirm later), and I did...

So it has stopped snowing and I finally get to check out my 24' AGP. As usual, most of the water is gone, but this time, it's completely gone, and the liner got torn in 1 spot (probably caused by ice). It's a straight line, so I'm wondering if there is any product I can use which would weld...

Do you have any pics of your rack? I still need to come up with a design, haven't found anything yet which looks great, yet simple (have 4 2'x20' panels myself).

I'm just using SketchUp to design this, very easy to learn! I just finished updating my plan, I was actually working on those 'cripple joists' figuring that's what you meant, but I'm not sure how to attach them, since here isn't much room that close to the pool (angled joist hangers is all I...

Great looking deck! The problem with digging more holes is that I have to mix more concrete, and I am dealing with a bad back injury already, so add that with a limited budget, I don't think I can adapt the design for the deck boards to run perpendicular.

I wanted to run the decking perpendicular, but this would mean digging more 4' holes.

Hey guys, Finally getting my deck project going, and while designing it in SketchUp, I realized that I am running into trouble with the rim joist closest to the pool. I can't find any good examples of how other people deal with this, and I'm not getting many answers when posting on other...

This looks like the Integrity ladder (I have one myself), and it does look like the platform is missing (no matter if you have the deck-to-pool model or not). Unless this is some sort of knockoff, but the design details are identical: http://www.liverpoolpoolandspa.com/ag-a ... %20LADDERS

Just as a quick follow up, that flexible hose I got from Lowes didn't last long and sprung leaks at the end of the season last year. Since I have to redo my setup anyways (they are on the ground now, want to put them on a stand), I'll try to come up with a better solution, but I recommend you...

Did you ever finish building this stand? Would love to see some pics, as I still have to build a stand for 4 2'x20' panels myself.

I screw it all the way down until the handle latches click (and it pretty much stops moving after that). I guess I could try a lubricant for pool valve gaskets to make sure it seats properly.
