Hi, I am going to be in the market for a new liner very soon most likely before the end of this summer. I have a company set out to come and visit me soon for an estimate but my Local pool service tells me I will probably need to install a new track as he is not sure that the liners made today will fit or can be made to accommodate my old system. My liner started tearing slowly about two years ago and has progressively gotten worse. This year I had a 26 inch vertical split down from the top as the early winter ice started to build up and expand.
1). My pool is ready to open for the summer and I would like to enjoy it as much as possible is it advisable to have the liner changed at the end of the season before winter arrives or have everything prepared this fall for a new spring liner?
2). Presently, the liner goes all the way up to the top of the sheet metal then is doubled or tripled and wraps over the sheet metal and an aluminum coping sandwiches it in place. If this system cannot be made anymore and I am forced to put a track the lack of liner at the top will make the coping very loose and not hold in place. See photos
3) are there alternative coping a I can make work? Stone or maybe pour cement?
Thanks.
