I’m picturing something, anything like this which is wider than my top rail and looks like it would slide over but like pvc so I can cut it. Am I crazy?

What if I could find something that would fit tight over the stabilizer rails just under those particular top plates? 🤔

Weellll, not quite. It has been a journey and it seems I may have made the biggest mistake of all. The liner fit is great and pool is all but filled and somehow I just now noticed that a few of my posts are like 1/2-3/4” high. As you can see, there is a lip on my top plate which is not...

Good luck with the car. I know the feeling. Going out to turn vacuum off. I feel better about that. Thanks again.

Awesome. Thank you. Should I inch the vacuum up so it stays above the water line? Was just debating on whether I should leave the vac run over night so your timing is perfect. Is there a point where it is ok to fill at night? My new liner ended up being more of a pool rehab so now no water...

I’ve read to place top rails after liner is set and filling begins. I don’t recall doing this at Initial setup bc I can remember adjusting overlap liner throughout the filling process. Pretty sure when I shut off this vac shortly I will see wrinkles on the walls. I’m only ankle depth in my 27’ agp

I know, right? Border isn’t perfect but wasn’t going back. Brutal week with 100 degree temps. Floor seam I believe is acceptable. Do you know when I should put the top rails on? If I shut the vac off there are some wrinkles in the walls ….

Soooo, I have ankle depth water in the pool. Everything looks good with vac still running. At what point should I put both stabilizer and top rails on? Prior to turning the vac back on I thought I would have to do more adjusting (overlap) but at this point I think it is what it is. Please advise...

Good description phonedave. Heading to the hardware store for adhesive spray and may get some more stakes and line. I’d like to paint the top rails but didn’t want to keep them off any longer than necessary. That option will be yet to be determined. I’ll let you know how the foam goes!

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Good advice on “most available parts”. I tend to make things more difficult. A bit windy today but not 100 degrees as the first few days of this project. 82 temp will suffice but the breeze may be my nemesis as far as wall foam and liner. I guess we’ll see!
